Tickets, reservation rules, and what happens if you miss a sailing
Key rule for this route (Line 632): A ticket bought for Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj is valid for any departure on the date printed on the ticket (same line). That’s why you can usually take a later sailing if you miss one.
In practice: If you arrive late or the ferry is full, keep your ticket and queue for the next available departure the same day (capacity permitting).
Reservation vs. non-reservation lines (what this means for you)
- Lines with reservations: your ticket also reserves a vehicle place on the ferry for a specific departure time (and the ticket is tied to that date/time).
- This line (632): the ticket is date-based (valid for departures on the printed date) rather than being locked to one specific sailing time.
Where to buy tickets (online vs at the port)
- Online: you can use Jadrolinija’s online sales channels (website/app) where available and keep the ticket on your phone.
- At the port: you can also buy at Jadrolinija sales points/ticket offices at or near the ferry port.
Vehicle tickets require vehicle details; when purchasing a vehicle ticket you must present the traffic permit. If you’re in a rental car, keep the original rental agreement with you.
How early to arrive (especially in summer)
- As a baseline, Jadrolinija advises arriving around 60 minutes before departure in summer and 30 minutes before departure in winter for passengers with a purchased reservation (cargo vehicles: 40 minutes).
- For popular summer departures on non-reservation car ferries, arriving earlier can help because vehicle space is limited and queues build up quickly.
Always re-check close to departure
Local sailings can change due to operational reasons and weather. If conditions are poor (wind/sea), check the official status/timetable close to departure and be prepared for delays or cancellations.
Boarding tips: how early to arrive (especially in summer)
In peak season, the Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj car ferry can get busy around popular departure times. If you’re travelling with a vehicle, arriving early is the easiest way to reduce stress and improve your chances of getting on the sailing you want.
How early should you arrive? As a practical baseline, Jadrolinija advises arriving around 60 minutes before departure in summer and 30 minutes before departure in winter (cargo vehicles: 40 minutes). On very busy summer days, arriving earlier is safer, especially for the first morning and late-afternoon/evening sailings.
If you’re travelling with a car (or camper/trailer)
- Join the vehicle queue early: in summer, queues can form well before departure. Pick your target sailing and arrive early enough to be lined up and ready.
- Have documents ready: keep your ticket accessible and have your vehicle documents handy (traffic permit). If you’re in a rental car, keep the rental paperwork with you.
- Stay alert near departure: follow staff instructions and be ready to move when loading begins. Keep passengers together and avoid leaving the vehicle unattended when the queue is moving.
- If the ferry is full: keep your ticket and queue for the next available departure (capacity permitting).
If you’re travelling on foot
- Foot passengers typically need less time than vehicles, but it’s still smart to arrive early in summer so you can buy tickets (if needed) and board without rushing.
- Keep your ticket ready and follow boarding instructions from staff.
Re-check close to departure
Sailing schedules are subject to change, especially due to weather and operational reasons. Always re-check the latest official timetable/status close to departure when travelling on tight connections.
Ports and access: Drvenik ferry port and Sućuraj (Hvar) ferry port
Both ports are small and straightforward: Drvenik is a mainland coastal village where the ferry terminal sits right by the main road, and Sućuraj is a compact town on eastern Hvar where the ferry arrives close to the centre. In peak season, the main "challenge" is usually vehicle queues rather than finding the port.
Drvenik ferry port (mainland)
- Where it is: Next to the main road through Drvenik, near the seafront promenade and beach.
- Best for: Drivers approaching from the Makarska Riviera and the coastal road.
- Vehicle queues: In summer, arrive early and expect the queue to build toward the port access area near departure time.
Jadrolinija ticket office (Drvenik):
Donja Vala bb, 21333 Drvenik
Typical opening: about an hour before departure (varies by day/season).
Nearby basics: Because the terminal is in town, everyday services (cafes, shops and similar) are generally close by.
Sućuraj ferry port (Hvar)
- Where you arrive: In a narrow bay at the end of the seafront promenade, not far from the town centre.
- Getting around: Sućuraj is walkable; if you’re staying elsewhere on Hvar, you can continue by road, and the bus stop is in the centre of town.
- Vehicle flow: Follow staff directions when disembarking; space is limited near the waterfront in high season.
Jadrolinija ticket office (Sućuraj):
Trajektna 1, Sućuraj, Hvar
Typical opening: about half an hour before departure (varies by day/season).
Nearby basics: The port is close to town facilities such as bars, restaurants and shops.
After you land: driving from Sućuraj to Hvar Town, Jelsa, and Stari Grad
Sućuraj is at the far eastern tip of Hvar, so if you’re staying in the island’s main hubs (Jelsa, Stari Grad, or Hvar Town), you’ll be doing a cross-island drive on the state road D116. The route is scenic but can feel slow: parts of the eastern section are narrow and winding, and summer traffic can add delays.
| Destination (from Sućuraj) | Distance (approx.) | Typical drive time (approx.) | What to expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jelsa | 51-52 km | ~1h 15m | First major town west of Sućuraj; the road becomes easier as you get closer to central Hvar. |
| Stari Grad | 60-61 km | ~1h 15-25m | Main car-ferry hub on Hvar’s north coast; useful if you’re connecting to Split or staying in the Stari Grad/Jelsa area. |
| Hvar Town (Hvar) | 76-77 km | ~1h 40-50m | Longest drive from Sućuraj; allow extra time in summer and drive cautiously on the narrower eastern stretches. |
Planning tip: If you’re staying in Hvar Town or Stari Grad, this Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj ferry is still fast on the sea, but the trade-off is the longer cross-island drive. If you prefer a shorter drive on Hvar (especially for west/central Hvar stays), consider the alternative car-ferry routes listed below in this guide.
Distances and times are approximate and vary by route choice, traffic, and road conditions.
Alternatives if this route doesn’t fit your plan
If the Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj timings don’t match your travel day (or you want a shorter drive once you’re on Hvar), the main alternative for cars is the Split ↔ Stari Grad (Hvar) car ferry. If you’re travelling without a car, fast ships from Split can be quicker (but they do not carry vehicles).
| Option | Best for | Sea crossing | Onward travel on Hvar | Ticket/boarding note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj (this page) | Approaching from the Makarska Riviera / southern Dalmatia; reaching east/central Hvar | About 30 minutes | Longer cross-island drive if you’re heading to Hvar Town or the far west | Ticket is generally valid for departures on the printed date (same line); queue for the next sailing if needed |
| Split ↔ Stari Grad (Hvar) car ferry | Starting from Split area; staying in central/west Hvar (Stari Grad, Jelsa, Hvar Town) | About 120 minutes | Shorter drive to the main hubs (Stari Grad terminal is near central Hvar; Hvar Town is a relatively short drive) | On this line, the ticket also functions as a reservation for a specific departure time; arrive early in peak season |
Quick decision tip: If you’re already in (or near) Split and staying around Stari Grad/Jelsa/Hvar Town, the Split ↔ Stari Grad car ferry is often the simpler choice. If you’re coming from the Makarska Riviera or from the south and want the fastest sea crossing, Drvenik ↔ Sućuraj is usually the most direct option.
