Can you buy ferry tickets at the port in Split?

You can purchase ferry tickets in local Jadrolinija sales point. Address is: Obala Lazareta bb, 21000 Split, Gat Sv. Duje bb, 21000 Split (yes, right on the ferry port). Phone number +385 21 33 83 33 in case you need it.



Yes, you can absolutely purchase ferry and catamaran tickets directly at the Port of Split, though the method depends on the operator. The most prominent carrier is Jadrolinija, the state-owned line, which has a large, central ticket office located in a white building near the main ferry docks, as well as several smaller kiosks along the Riva. Other private operators like Krilo (Kapetan Luka) and TP Line have their own dedicated kiosks or shared booths clearly marked near the piers. In 2026, while buying at the port is a viable "last-minute" option, it is highly recommended to book online during the peak summer months (June to September). For car ferries, having a ticket does not guarantee a spot on a specific sailing; you must still queue with your vehicle, often 90 to 120 minutes in advance. If you are a foot passenger on a popular fast catamaran to Hvar or Brač, these often sell out hours or even days ahead, so relying on the port office on the day of travel can be risky for your itinerary.
