Practical Ticket Information
You can purchase tickets in advance online at the official website Jadrolinija.hr or via their mobile app.
Note: On this route, you are not buying a ticket for a specific time, but for a specific day. Boarding is based on the order of arrival at the port. During the summer months, we recommend arriving at the Split port at least 60 minutes before the scheduled departure to secure your spot on the chosen ferry.
Makarska – Sumartin Ferry (Line 638)
This route is an ideal choice if you are arriving on Brac Island from southern Croatia (from the direction of Dubrovnik or the Makarska Riviera). Unlike the large ferries from Split, this line is operated by a smaller vessel with limited capacity, which offers a calmer atmosphere but requires better planning.

The number of departures varies significantly depending on the period of your travel:
-
High Season (May 29 – Sept 13): The ferry runs 7 times a day in both directions.

Important Information for Passengers
-

-
Operator: Jadrolinija
-

-
Reservation (Key Point): On the Makarska – Sumartin line, reservations for a specific time are possible and highly recommended.

Krilo Catamaran: Split – Supetar (Line 2026)

-
Our Tip: The Krilo catamaran is extremely popular, especially between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. We recommend buying your ticket online at least one day in advance because, unlike the ferry, the catamaran has a fixed seating capacity, and once it’s sold out, boarding is no longer possible.
