The Split to Hvar route is a passenger catamaran connection to Hvar Town. It arrives at the town harbour, making it a useful choice for a stay in central Hvar or a visit without a vehicle. It is a different crossing from the car ferry to Stari Grad, another port on Hvar island.
Direct catamarans take about an hour. TP Line serves Hvar Town on several lines, including 9604, which continues to Vela Luka and Ubli. Its autumn 2026 regular fare for the Split–Hvar leg is €6.40. Use the Hvar row and the regular fare column when comparing dates. TP Line’s dated line 9604 timetable and fare table.
Taking a car, motorbike or camper? These Hvar Town catamarans do not carry motor vehicles. Compare the Split to Stari Grad car ferry and include the road transfer across the island. For a day trip on foot, check your last suitable Hvar-to-Split return before booking the outward sailing.

Compare the departure and return you can actually use. Some operators publish seasonal direct services; others include Hvar in longer coastal itineraries. The number of summer departures should not be treated as a winter schedule.
Jadrolinija’s seasonal direct catamaran, line 641, scheduled 65 minutes in 2026 and finished its published season on 11 October. If it does not appear for your date, check TP Line’s longer island routes that call at Hvar Town. Jadrolinija’s line 641 sailing calendar.
View Jadrolinija guideTP Line lists the precise boarding points for each service from Split. Check the line number on the ticket, particularly when vessels to Hvar depart close together. For line 9604 the operator asks passengers to be at the boarding point at least 15 minutes before sailing. TP Line’s boarding maps.

View Kapetan Luka–Krilo guideThe catamarans leave from Split’s city ferry port. The main bus station and railway station are beside the harbour, which helps when arriving without a car. Identify the operator’s quay on your ticket or the current departure information; allow time to walk from the station to the actual boarding point.
Read the Split destination guideArrive at Hvar Town harbour on the waterfront. If your accommodation is in the town, check the walking route with your luggage; a central address can still involve slopes or steps. For Stari Grad, Jelsa or another island base, arrange the onward bus, taxi or transfer before arrival.
Read the Hvar destination guideThis is a short passenger-catamaran journey. Choose the departure, luggage allowance and accessibility arrangements that fit your trip.
Expect passenger seating rather than a conventional car-ferry lounge or an overnight cabin. TP Line’s passenger areas are indoors and air-conditioned; do not assume that every catamaran offers an open passenger deck.
Do not assume a full catering service on short or fast crossings. Check the vessel details and carry water or snacks where appropriate.
Check your operator’s baggage allowance and whether a bicycle can be accepted. TP Line does not transport bicycles. Cars, motorbikes and campers need the separate Split–Stari Grad car ferry.
Keep the final confirmation accessible and check whether a QR code, printed ticket or exchange at the terminal is required. The supplier’s instructions override general guidance.
This is a domestic Croatian crossing. Keep identification accepted by the operator available and carry any document needed to support a discounted ticket.
Use the boarding deadline for your catamaran. TP Line asks passengers to be at the boarding point at least 15 minutes before departure; allow additional time to find the quay and meet any ticket-collection requirement. Other operators may set different deadlines.
For a stay in Hvar Town, compare your accommodation’s walking directions from the harbour before deciding whether you need a transfer. Keep the address and check-in instructions available offline, especially for an evening arrival.
For another part of the island, plan the bus or road transfer from Hvar Town. Travellers with a vehicle should instead compare the arrival at Stari Grad. On a day trip, work backwards from your booked return catamaran so you have time to collect luggage and reach the correct boarding point.
If you are taking a vehicle or the Hvar Town departure does not fit, compare Split to Stari Grad and the onward journey to your island base. For a return day trip, check Hvar to Split before choosing the outward departure. These are different port or direction choices, so compare the complete journey.
Direct catamarans take about an hour. TP Line publishes a 60-minute direct service and Jadrolinija’s seasonal direct line takes about 65 minutes. Check your chosen departure for the actual duration and any intermediate calls.
Compare Jadrolinija, TP Line and Kapetan Luka–Krilo. Their direct and coastal services have different operating periods, so availability depends on the date.
Frequency changes by season, operator and route. Check the exact day in the sailing search; a summer weekly total does not establish the number of departures in autumn or winter.
No. The catamarans to Hvar Town carry foot passengers, not cars, motorbikes or campers. For a vehicle, compare the Split to Stari Grad car ferry and continue by road on Hvar island.
Check the chosen operator’s limits before buying. TP Line does not carry bicycles, while other operators apply their own acceptance rules. Do not assume that a passenger-catamaran ticket includes any size of luggage or sports equipment.
Check both directions before buying. In autumn, some island services bring residents to Split in the morning and go back to Hvar in the afternoon. On those services alone, a same-day visit starting in Split may not work. Look up the last Hvar Town departure on your specific date.
It arrives at Hvar Town harbour. This is a different port from Stari Grad, where the main car ferry from Split arrives. Check your accommodation’s location before choosing the crossing.
Yes. Recheck the operator’s departure information and your boarding details before going to the harbour. Sea conditions and operational changes can affect catamarans, and seasonal timetables can finish at different dates.
Search the exact date and passenger details, then verify the arrival port and operator before booking. For a motor vehicle, compare the separate Split–Stari Grad ferry.
