The main crossing
The workhorse route is the Jadrolinija car ferry from Split to Supetar, Brač's main port — about 50 minutes, with frequent daily sailings and the highest frequency in summer. It carries cars, campervans and foot passengers.
Getting to Bol
For Bol and the famous Zlatni Rat beach, you can take a seasonal catamaran from Split, or take the car ferry to Supetar and drive across the island (around 40 minutes).
Taking a car
This is one of Croatia's busiest island routes. In July and August, vehicle space fills quickly — arrive at the Split terminal well before departure, or book ahead where possible.
