Do I need to book the ferry to Brač in advance?
Not for the Split–Supetar car ferry, where you cannot reserve a particular sailing anyway. The catamarans and the Makarska–Sumartin ferry sell tickets for a fixed departure, and in July and August the popular ones fill, so book those early.
How early should I be at the port?
For the Supetar car ferry Jadrolinija recommends one to two hours before in summer. For Makarska–Sumartin it is 45 minutes. Catamaran passengers should be at the boarding point about 15 minutes ahead, and 30 minutes in peak weeks on the Krilo Shipping boats.
Which ferry goes to Bol?
Only catamarans, because Bol has no car ferry. Jadrolinija sails there all year, leaving Split at 16:30. From mid-May to the end of September Krilo Shipping adds daytime boats. The Kapetan Luka Krilo catamaran does not go to Bol.
Can I take my car to Bol?
Not on a boat to Bol itself. Take the car ferry to Supetar and drive across the island, or use the Makarska–Sumartin line.
Is there a ferry from Split Airport to Brač?
No. The ferries leave from Split harbour, 20 km from the airport. A shuttle bus for €10.00 takes about 30 minutes to the bus station beside the port; see the airport page.
What if I miss my ferry?
A Supetar car ferry ticket is valid for any sailing of the day, so you take the next one. Tickets for a fixed departure, such as the catamarans and the Sumartin line, are not interchangeable, so ask the operator or check the terms before you travel.
What is the last ferry from Split to Brač?
The car ferry at 23:59, every day except 24, 25 and 31 December. From Supetar the last one leaves at 22:45.
Can I take my dog on the ferry?
Yes, and on the Jadrolinija car ferry pets travel free, though they are not taken into closed passenger rooms. Dogs need a lead and a muzzle. On the catamarans small pets go in a carrier; TP Line and Krilo Shipping charge half the adult fare for a pet in a box.
How much luggage can I bring?
On the car ferry up to 20 kg per person is free. Krilo allows 10 kg of hand luggage plus a 23 kg checked bag, and TP Line and Krilo Shipping 20 kg.
Can I take a bicycle?
On the Supetar car ferry yes, for €6.20. Jadrolinija catamarans and TP Line do not carry bicycles. Krilo says bikes are possible for an extra fee, depending on space.
Do children pay?
Children under 3 travel free on the Jadrolinija lines. From 3 to 12 they pay a reduced fare, €3.20 on Split–Supetar, and half the adult fare on TP Line and Krilo Shipping.
What happens in bad weather?
Operators cancel sailings in unsafe conditions. Krilo, Krilo Shipping and TP Line refund or rebook cancelled sailings. Jadrolinija publishes the day's interruptions on its traffic status page.
Which ferries run in winter?
The car ferry Split–Supetar with 12 sailings a day, the Krilo catamaran to Supetar with four or five, the Jadrolinija catamaran to Bol at 16:30, a state line to Milna and the Makarska–Sumartin ferry three times a day. The seasonal Bol boats of Krilo Shipping do not run.
When is the 2027 timetable published?
Jadrolinija and Krilo have not published it yet; summer timetables usually appear in spring. TP Line and SNAV are already in the Direct Ferries system for 2027. Until then the 2026 times are a guide.

SNAV sails Ancona–Split overnight from 12 April to 5 October 2027, about three times a week. Between 5 October 2026 and 12 April 2027 no ferry runs on this route. See Ancona–Split.
