Croatian Ferries
Local (domestic) ferries
Ferry is a great way to travel around the Croatian Islands. We have listed some Croatia ferry information here for you, but please also check the ferry sites directly as they might have changes at the last minute. We do not book ferry tickets except as part of one of our Island Hopping Packages. All ferry tickets and transfers are included in our Independent Island Hopper Tours!
Please research the ferries yourself to ensure you can get between your locations on the day and time that you need. We don’t list every ferry here on our website, just the most commonly used by our clients. Please check the ferry websites yourself for any extra services and contact those companies directly from their site with any queries about domestic ferries such as changed timetables or price lists.
Croatia ferry tickets are included when you book one of our fabulous Island Hopping Package Tours. Our Island Hoppers include all accommodation, transfers and ferry tickets with everything organised for you and you just relax and enjoy your holiday.
If you prefer to totally relax, have your ‘hotel on water’ move with you and do your island hopping by small cruise ship, you can check out our cruises here: Current Availability – All Cruises.
Otherwise, please book the ferry directly yourself using links below, it is a simple process.
You can now access most ferry services in Croatia through the ‘Get by Ferry’ website and book online with your credit card:

Select the departure port, arrival port and use the calendar to select your date. If there are no ferries on that route on that day nothing will show up.
Please use the “Search journey schedule and buy tickets online” section for domestic ferry bookings on Jadrolinija. If you do not see the ferry available in that search selection then you must purchase tickets on the day in Croatia (eg, car ferries or small local ferries like GV or Blue Line), or there is no ferry on that day. Please check the timetables carefully. If there is no ferry on that day then please contact Jadrolinija or KriloJet (Kapetan Luka) directly for all ferry timetable enquiries through their website.
Reservations on car ferries and small local boat lines are not possible. You must purchase tickets on the spot on the day for all domestic car ferries. First come, first served for those departures, so make sure you arrive early.
KriloJet Ferries
KriloJet (Kapetan Luka) ferry also has a ferry that goes all the way between Split and Dubrovnik. There is only one ferry per day that does this route, so you must buy your tickets early to ensure you can get onboard. June-September there are daily ferries, outside those months ferries only run on certain days of the week.
