The fastest way from Split to Hvar town. Book your ticket now!
The journey from Split to Hvar Town is one of the most popular catamaran routes in Croatia, and for good reason—it’s fast, scenic, and drops you right into the heart of the action. The high-speed catamarans take just 55 minutes, whisking you past Brač island before turning south to Hvar. Insider tip: Always try to grab a seat on the left side of the boat when departing Split. This side offers the best views of Split's Marjan Hill, the gorgeous turquoise channel, and the spectacular approach to Hvar Town with its famous fortress (Fortica) dominating the skyline. Since the route is passenger-only, you'll avoid the slower car ferries, but remember to purchase your ticket well in advance, especially during the peak summer months of July and August. The Split port can be chaotic, so aim to be at the catamaran pier (Gat Sv. Petra) at least 30 minutes before departure.
Navigate directly to the boarding ramp for the fastest departure.
Gat Sv. Petra (St. Peter's Pier)
Usually Berths 1-4. Look for the large white catamaran near the main bus station and railway.
