Good to know before you go
This connection only runs from 17 August to 20 September. The rest of the year, you can travel between Brač and Vis via Split, or from Milna on Wednesdays (Milna → Vis).
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.
As for where to sit, it doesn't really matter here. We checked the route on the map, and the coast is about as close on one side as on the other, so just grab a window seat.
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.
