One way on an excursion boat
Another good way from Bol to Hvar in summer is a one-way trip on one of the bigger excursion boats that sail from Bol harbour to Hvar each day. You get the crossing with a view of both islands, and you can stay on Hvar and carry on from there. Ask at the boat the day before whether it takes one-way passengers and for the price. Our boat trip picks both sail to Hvar.
