Route guide

Plan your ferry from Hvar to Split

The Hvar to Split ferry departs from Hvar Town harbour and reaches Split’s city ferry port. This is a foot-passenger catamaran route, useful for returning from an island stay or continuing to mainland transport.

TP Line’s service from Ubli and Vela Luka calls at Hvar Town on the way to Split. Its autumn 2026 line 9604 timetable gives one hour for the Hvar–Split leg. The regular fare for that leg is €6.40. The longer journey time at the foot of the timetable covers the entire line from Lastovo. TP Line’s dated line 9604 timetable and fare table.

Travelling with a car, motorbike or camper? Hvar Town’s catamarans do not take motor vehicles. Use the Stari Grad to Split car ferry and allow for the journey from your accommodation to Stari Grad’s ferry port.

Compare Jadrolinija, TP Line and Kapetan Luka–Krilo for the departure time, stops and baggage rules that fit your plans. A ticket for one sailing should not be treated as an open ticket for whichever catamaran leaves next.

For a flight from Split Airport, include disembarkation, the walk to onward transport, the road journey and airport check-in. A close ferry-to-flight connection on separate tickets leaves little flexibility if sea conditions or port operations change the schedule.

Before departure

Prepare for check-in at Hvar

Keep the ticket and accepted passenger identification ready for this domestic Croatian crossing. Confirm whether online check-in, an e-ticket or ticket collection applies to the operator you booked.

Your departure terminal

Go to the confirmed passenger boarding point in Hvar Town. Allow enough time for the walk from your accommodation or the arrival of a transfer from elsewhere on the island.

Passengers, luggage and assistance

Check the passenger names, departure date and time, baggage allowance and any pet or assistance booking. If you need to take a motor vehicle, change your port search to Stari Grad.

Travel documents

After arriving

From Split harbour to the city or airport

For central Split, the Riva and old town are close to the city harbour. Check the walking route from your berth and the location of your accommodation before deciding whether you need a taxi.

The main bus station and railway station are beside the ferry port. Allow time to disembark and reach the right stop or platform before booking a fixed onward departure.

Split Airport lists a shuttle connection with the main bus station in the city harbour area. The airport is outside central Split, so compare the shuttle departure or taxi pickup with your flight’s check-in deadline.

Do not treat arrival at Split harbour as arrival at the airport. Include the road journey and traffic margin, and check the current shuttle timetable for your day. If the connection is essential, choose a ferry that leaves room for disruption.
