The cheapest way to Bol without a car
The Jadrolinija catamaran is the cheapest way from Split to Bol. It runs every day of the year, leaving Split at 16:30 and Bol for Split early in the morning, and continues to Stari Grad and Jelsa on Hvar. The other catamaran lines to Bol run only in the summer season and cost significantly more, so plan around the 16:30 sailing if you can.
Where it leaves from in Split
Catamarans leave from Split's ferry port, a short walk from the bus and train stations and from the old town. Allow time to find the right berth: the port is large and busy in summer, and the departure gate is shown on your ticket and on the port's screens.
Tickets
- Buy online from the operator's website or app, or at the ticket offices at the port.
- In July and August, buy before the day. Summer sailings can sell out.
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure.
- Large luggage, bikes and surfboards may cost extra or need space on board; check with the operator.
