Which ferry to Brač?
Four crossings carry almost everyone to the island. Which one suits you depends on where you start, whether the car comes along and where on Brač you are staying. Supetar on the north coast is the main port; Bol with the Zlatni Rat beach sits on the south side, on the far side of the island's central ridge.

Other ways to Brač
With a car: Split–Supetar
The big white Jadrolinija ferries leave Split's city harbour roughly every hour in summer, the first at 05:00, the last just before midnight. A ticket bought online or at the kiosk is valid for any sailing that day but does not hold a place on a particular boat. On summer Saturdays, when the holiday flats change hands, the queue in Split can easily swallow two or three departures.
Coming from the south along the Makarska Riviera? Then Makarska–Sumartin saves you the drive into Split, and on that line the ticket does reserve your sailing.
Without a car: straight to Bol
Most people heading for Zlatni Rat take the catamaran from Split to Bol. Jadrolinija runs it all year (16:30 from Split, in summer back at 06:30 from Bol), and from mid-May to the end of September Krilo Shipping adds daytime sailings for €25. From the Bol pier the beach is within walking distance along the pine-shaded promenade.
Supetar is quicker to reach: the Krilo catamaran takes about 25 minutes. From there it is still a bus or taxi ride across the island to Bol.
Booking for summer 2027
Brač is busiest from late June to the end of August. The state ferries do not need advance booking for foot passengers, and their cars are carried first come, first served on the Supetar line anyway. The catamarans are different: seats are limited and sought-after departures fill up, especially Friday to Sunday.
As of Fri 6 Nov 2026 TP Line's summer catamaran Split–Milna and SNAV's Ancona–Split night ferry (season from 12 April 2027) are already in the Direct Ferries booking system for 2027. Krilo, Krilo Shipping and Jadrolinija usually open the summer season in spring. Our search shows what is bookable on any given day; for later dates it gives the 2026 times as a guide.
Frequently asked questions
How long is the ferry from Split to Brač?
The Jadrolinija car ferry Split–Supetar takes 50 minutes. The Krilo catamaran to Supetar needs about 25 minutes, the catamaran to Bol about an hour.
How much is the ferry to Brač?
On Split–Supetar an adult pays €6.50, a child aged 3–12 €3.20, a car up to 5 m €26.10 (2026, one way, same price all year). Two adults with a car therefore pay €39.10.
Do I need to book the Supetar ferry in advance?
No – and you can't reserve a particular sailing. Cars board in order of arrival; Jadrolinija itself recommends being at the port one to two hours early in summer. The ticket is not tied to one departure.
Is there a ferry from Split Airport to Brač?
No, the ferries leave from Split city harbour, about 20 km from the airport. There is an airport bus to the harbour; details on our airport page.
Which port on Brač is best for Zlatni Rat?
Bol. The catamaran from Split lands right in the village centre, at the Ante Starčević pier. Arriving in Supetar means crossing the island by bus, taxi or car.
