Our tips for the catamaran
Bol – Split is one of the busiest catamaran routes in Croatia, and in high season the catamarans fill up. We'd buy the ticket back a few days ahead, so you're not left waiting on the pier.
For a window seat with a view, be at the pier a bit before the 15 minutes the companies ask for.
Most catamarans have no outside seating, because they're fast and it gets very windy. One of the Krilo Shipping Company catamarans does have an outside area, and the crew opens it once it's safe.
As you leave Bol, have one last look at Zlatni rat, the most famous beach in Croatia.
The crossing isn't long, but we usually bring something to eat and drink. On board it costs more than on land.
The catamarans don't always use the same berth in Split, so if someone is picking you up, tell them to meet you at the passenger port rather than at a berth.
There's no car ferry from Bol. With a car, or if you'd rather not take the catamaran, go across the island to Supetar (by car, bus or taxi) and take the car ferry to Split from there (Supetar → Split). Bol is on the other side of the island, so a taxi won't be cheap.
As for the boats, Jadrolinija (line 9603) usually sends the catamaran Karolina (316 passengers) or Mila; Jadrolinija (line 659) usually sends the catamaran Judita (316 passengers); Krilo Shipping Company usually sends the catamaran KSC Jaffa (around 250 passengers) or KSC Naranča (around 250 passengers). The companies swap boats from time to time, so yours may be a different one.
For the best views, sit on the right side, looking towards the front of the catamaran. For most of the way you'll have Brač's coast on that side.
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.
