How often is the ferry from Hvar to Split?

Hvar to Split Ferries In the high season it runs 14 to 20 journeys per day, in total 131 times per week from Hvar. In the low season it runs 2 or 3 journeys per day, in total 17 times per week. Journey time is between 50 minutes and 2 hours 25 minutes depending on the route.



In 2026, the frequency of the ferry from Hvar to Split depends entirely on the season. During the peak summer months (June to September), there are high-speed catamarans (passenger only) departing almost every hour from Hvar Town harbor, with over 15–20 daily departures operated by Krilo and Jadrolinija. In the winter (November to March), this drops significantly to just 2 or 3 catamarans per day. It is a peer-to-peer essential to know the difference between the "Catamaran" from Hvar Town and the "Car Ferry" from Stari Grad. The car ferry runs year-round about 4–7 times a day and takes 2 hours, whereas the catamaran from the main town takes only 1 hour. A high-value strategy for 2026 is to book your tickets online at least 48 hours in advance during July and August, as these boats frequently sell out, leaving travelers stranded on the docks. Always check the weather for "Bura" winds, which can occasionally cause the fast catamarans to be cancelled while the larger car ferries continue to run.

Hvar is enormous. We stayed in Hvar only for 2 days so didn't have the chance to wander to the other side of the island to Jelsa and beyond. To explore the local area of Hvar, Stari Grad, and Zarace we rented an ATV. The streets were perfect for it and better than the hassle of renting a car.

I think you should look at spending a night or two on Hvar, at least three in Dubrovnik and the rest in Split. If you have the time you might as well stay a night or two in Hvar. Obviously you could take a day trip out there, but staying a night will allow you to soak up the atmosphere of the place a bit better.
