Ports on Brač and on the mainland
Boats call at a handful of Brač harbours, and they are far apart. Pick the one nearest your accommodation and the rest of the journey gets short.
Updated:
Supetar, Bol, Milna, Sumartin and Sutivan are the ports with regular passenger service from the mainland in 2026. Postira and Pučišća join them in winter 2026 with a new Krilo line. Each is a village harbour, and none is next door to another. Brač is Croatia's third-largest island, so the choice of port decides how far you drive or ride on the island.
Split
Everything to Brač except the Makarska line leaves from Split's ferry port, about 500 m from the old town. The bus station stands next to it. The car ferries to Supetar use berths 20, 23 and 24. Catamarans use other berths: Jadrolinija at 6a, 16a or 16b, Krilo at 15 or 16a, Krilo Shipping at 5 or 6c, TP Line at 6c or 8a. The berth is shown on your ticket or on the departure board, so look there before you walk to the far end of the quay. Krilo has a ticket kiosk on Gat Sv. Duje, open 06:00 to 20:00.
Split Airport is 20 km away; the airport page explains the shuttle bus.
Supetar
The main port on the north coast and the one most visitors use. The Jadrolinija car ferry arrives from Split in 50 minutes and the Krilo catamaran in about 25. The village stands directly on the harbour. From here the rest of the island is a bus, taxi or car ride away. See Split–Supetar.
Bol
On the south coast, in the village centre. Catamarans from Split dock at the Pier Ante Starčevića,. Zlatni Rat beach is reachable on foot along the promenade. There is no car ferry to Bol, and Krilo (Kapetan Luka) does not sail here either. Jadrolinija runs the year-round catamaran, and from 15 May to 30 September Krilo Shipping adds daytime departures. Details at Split–Bol.
Milna
A sheltered bay on the west coast, a favourite with sailors, with the ferry landing close to the centre. Several catamarans call here: the year-round state line to Split run by Krilo Shipping, TP Line in summer, and several Krilo services stopping on their way to Hvar, Korčula and Dubrovnik. TP Line sells tickets on board subject to availability, so book ahead in July and August. See Split–Milna.
Sutivan
A small village on the north-west coast. In 2026 Krilo Shipping called here only in summer, from 29 May to 27 September, for €7.50. The boat arrives at the end of the northern pier, a few metres from the promenade.
Sumartin
The ferry port at the eastern end of the island, and the landing for the Makarska line. The Jadrolinija car ferry takes 50 minutes. A ticket is tied to the sailing, so you are guaranteed a place, and you should be at the port 45 minutes before departure. It suits people who drive along the Makarska Riviera; see Makarska–Brač.
Makarska
The mainland end of the eastern line. Direct Ferries also lists a Makarska–Bol catamaran, but we found no operator that publishes it for 2026, so check availability once 2027 sales open. We have no verified details of the pier location in Makarska.
Postira and Pučišća
Krilo's new winter line runs from 1 November to 31 December 2026 between Pučišća, Postira, Omiš and Split. On weekdays it leaves Pučišća at 06:15 and Split at 16:30. Postira to Split costs €5.50, Pučišća to Split €6.50. Whether it continues in 2027 is not known. No scheduled boat calls at Povlja.
