Nobody flies to Hvar; everybody arrives via Split, and the awkward part is the join. Split Airport is 30–35 minutes from the ferry port, the fast catamaran to Hvar Town takes about an hour, and the timetable thins dramatically outside July and August. Booked separately, that is three chances to miss something. Booked as one journey, we work backwards from the sailing you need, hold the car if your flight slips, and pick you up again on the Hvar side. For cars and larger groups the alternative is the Drvenik–Sućuraj ferry at the eastern end of the island.
Routes and journey times
| Route | Typical time | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| SPU → Split catamaran port | 30–35 min | Timed to the Jadrolinija or Krilo sailing you are booked on |
| Split → Hvar Town by fast catamaran | ~1 h | Foot passengers; several sailings daily in season |
| Hvar port → your hotel or villa | 5–20 min | Hvar Town, Milna, Dubovica and the Sveta Nedjelja side |
| SPU → Drvenik → Sućuraj (car ferry) | ~1 h 30 + crossing | The route to take if you need the car on the island |
| Hvar → Stari Grad ferry terminal | ~25 min | For the Split car ferry rather than the catamaran |
| Return: Hvar → SPU | planned to your flight | Booked in the same enquiry, with the earlier sailing reserved |
Local knowledge
Two things that catch people out. Stari Grad and Hvar Town are different ports on the same island, twenty-five minutes apart — the car ferry from Split goes to the first and the fast catamaran to the second, and tickets are not interchangeable. And the last catamaran back to Split leaves earlier than most dinner reservations, so if you are flying out in the morning it is usually the night before that you need to move, not the day itself.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get from Split Airport to Hvar?
Car to the Split catamaran port (30–35 minutes), then about an hour by fast catamaran to Hvar Town. We book the whole chain as one door-to-door transfer.
What happens if my flight is late and I miss the sailing?
We track the flight and move you to the next available sailing, and the driver waits. Telling us your flight number at booking is what makes that possible.
Can I bring a car to Hvar?
Yes, but by car ferry — Split to Stari Grad, or Drvenik to Sućuraj. Say so when you enquire and we will route you accordingly.
Is the catamaran ticket included?
We quote it separately and clearly, because the price and timetable are set by the ferry operators. Everything on the road side is fixed.
Do you operate to Hvar out of season?
Yes, though the sailings drop to a couple a day from November to March. We plan the transfer around whatever is running.
