Bol → Hvar
Good to know before you go
This connection only runs from 17 August to 20 September. The rest of the year there's no ferry between Bol and Hvar town, but you can get from Bol to Jelsa on Hvar all year round (Bol → Jelsa).
Our tips for the catamaran
These catamarans take foot passengers only, not cars. If you're travelling with a car, the way onto Brač is the car ferry from Split to Supetar (Split → Supetar) or from Makarska to Sumartin (Makarska → Sumartin).
As for the boats, Jadrolinija usually sends the catamaran Judita (316 passengers). The companies swap boats from time to time, so yours may be a different one.
For the best views, sit on the left side, looking towards the front of the catamaran. We checked the route on the map: for most of the way the coast is closer on that side, so that's where the views are.
There are no seat reservations on the catamarans: you sit wherever you like, first come, first served. All of them have air conditioning.
Bags are stowed one by one as people board, so the first ones in end up behind everyone else's. If you board last, yours will be the easiest to get to when you arrive.
