About this crossing
The Split–Hvar catamaran is one of the quickest ways to reach Hvar Town from the mainland. Fast passenger catamarans make the crossing in around an hour and run frequently right through the summer season.
It's a foot-passenger service, so it's a good choice if you're heading to Hvar without a car. Popular summer sailings can fill up, so it's worth booking a day or two ahead.
