Traveling between the Croatian islands of Hvar and Vis by ferry is a quick and scenic journey that takes approximately 55 minutes on a high-speed catamaran. In 2026, this route is primarily operated by companies like TP-Line and Jadrolinija, which use modern, passenger-only vessels. There is typically one direct departure per day during the peak summer months (usually around 10:35 AM), though frequency can drop significantly during the "off-season" to just one or two trips per week. Because these are catamarans, they do not carry cars; if you are traveling with a vehicle, you would need to take a much longer indirect route via the mainland port of Split. The ticket price in 2026 is roughly €25 to €27 for an adult one-way trip. It is highly recommended to book your tickets online at least a few days in advance during July and August, as this is a popular "island-hopping" connection and the limited daily seats can sell out quickly, especially for the morning departures that allow for a full day of exploring Vis.
