The day matters: not every catamaran sails every day, so we only count the boats that actually run on the day you pick. On Croatian public holidays a few weekday sailings switch to the weekend pattern — worth a check with the operator if you travel on one.

We never sell your details. Times are the 2026 season, always confirm with the operator.

Possible, but tight

Split Airport (Resnik) ↔ Hvar Town · landing 16:30

You land at 16:30. Your realistic boat is the 18:50 TP Line. After clearing the airport and reaching the port you have about 40 min of margin, so it works if everything runs on time.

If your bags come quickly and the airport is calm, the ferry works. A private transfer meets your flight, waits if you land late, and takes the last-boat risk off the table.

The margin above is the real number, not a scare tactic. With the ferry it will probably be fine; with a transfer it is certain. You know your own tolerance for a tight connection.

Honest guidance

The real questions people ask before they travel

Straight answers to the situations that keep people up at night. If the public boat is the right call, that is what we say.

Landing in Split after 6pm?

The last fast catamaran to Hvar Town leaves around 18:50 in summer — except Tuesdays, when Krilo adds a 20:00. Land after roughly 18:00 and you are racing it. Sleeping in Split and taking the first boat rested is one honest answer; a private speedboat, which runs after the public boats stop, is the other.

Often too tight

Catching a morning flight from Split?

For a flight before 11:00 you need the first boat off Hvar, which means an early start — and which boat that is depends on the day: 06:30 on weekdays, 07:45 at weekends. From midday onward the public boat is comfortable. The planner shows you the exact boat, not a guess.

Usually workable

Travelling with kids and luggage?

The connection still works, but timings that are fine for two backpackers get stressful with a pram, checked bags and a queue. When your buffer drops under about half an hour, we start suggesting an earlier boat or a transfer that meets your flight.

Depends on the buffer

Should you overnight in Split?

Sometimes yes, and we will say so plainly — a night by the port beats a stressful dash with tired kids. But a private speedboat runs after the public boats stop, so reaching Hvar tonight is still on the table if that is what you want. Both are good answers and we will arrange either.

A valid answer, not a failure

Split to Hvar timetable

Every crossing, with a link to the operator

Our own curated schedule, checked by hand each season. We never sell the ticket. Every boat links straight to the company that runs it.

Please treat this timetable as a guide, not gospel. It is a hand-checked snapshot rather than live data, so it is not 100% reliable: operators change sailings mid-season and weather cancels them. Always open the operator's own shop to check the sailing and buy your ticket — every row below links straight to it.

Common questions

What is the last catamaran from Split to Hvar?
In high season the last fast catamaran to Hvar Town is usually the 18:50 sailing. Off season it can be mid-afternoon. If your flight lands after roughly 18:00, check the planner above before you assume you can reach Hvar the same day.
What is the first boat from Hvar to catch a morning flight?
It depends on the day, which is why the planner asks. Monday to Friday the first boat is TP Line's 06:30, reaching Split at 07:30. At weekends the first is the 07:45. On Tuesdays Krilo adds a 07:55. If you only look at Krilo you will think the first boat is the 10:15 — over two hours later than the truth on most days. Then allow 45 minutes from Split port to the airport, plus check-in. The planner picks the latest boat that still gets you there safely.
Should I buy the catamaran ticket in advance?
Yes, if you can. A catamaran ticket is a reserved seat on a named sailing, not an open pass — Jadrolinija says so plainly: buying the ticket reserves your place on that ship at that time. Which means a busy departure sells out, and in peak summer some do. Booking a day or two ahead through the operator's own shop costs the same and takes the question off the table. Turning up at the port expecting to walk on is the one avoidable way to miss a boat the planner told you that you could catch.
Where is Split Airport, and do any boats leave from it?
Split Airport (SPU) sits at Resnik, in Kaštela. No public catamaran leaves from the airport itself — every Jadrolinija, Krilo and TP Line sailing to Hvar departs from Split town port, and that road transfer is always part of your journey. Plan on 45 minutes for it: an empty road takes about 30, but in peak summer the Kaštela stretch and the approach into town are slow, and this tool is no use to you if it is optimistic about the one leg that makes people miss boats. The planner already counts it.
Is there a direct transfer from Split Airport to Hvar?
Yes, and it is the one option that skips the drive into Split entirely. A private speedboat picks you up at Resnik itself — a five-minute taxi from the terminal door, straight off the rank outside arrivals — and runs you to the Hvar Town waterfront. It meets your flight and waits if you land late. If you would rather not take a public boat at all, the same transfer can collect you in Split town instead. It is the reliable choice for late arrivals, larger groups and heavy luggage. Ask us and a licensed local operator confirms the price and time.
Catamaran or car ferry?
If you have no car, take the passenger catamaran straight to Hvar Town. The car ferry goes to Stari Grad instead, on the other side of the island — but it is not the dead end people expect: a bus waits at the ferry port for each arrival and runs to Hvar Town, about 20 minutes. Only the very last sailing of the night has no bus behind it, so that one means a taxi. With a vehicle, the car ferry is your only option anyway.
