The Drvenik to Sućuraj (Hvar) car ferry is the shortest sea crossing to Hvar and is especially useful if you are approaching from the Makarska Riviera or southern Dalmatia. Jadrolinija operates the route as Line 632 throughout the year, and the crossing takes about 30 minutes.
This route lands at Sućuraj on the eastern tip of Hvar. It is a very practical choice for eastern Hvar, but travelers heading to Jelsa, Stari Grad or Hvar Town should also consider the longer Split-Stari Grad car ferry, which arrives much closer to central and western Hvar.
Important ticket rule: a Line 632 ticket is valid for any departure on the travel date printed on the ticket. It does not reserve one specific sailing time. If a ferry is full, vehicle passengers normally queue for a later departure the same day, subject to capacity.
2026 fare snapshot: adult €2.40-€4.10, child aged 3-12 €1.40-€2.10, standard car €13.50-€19.70, motorcycle €4.60-€7.40 and bicycle €2.30-€4.00, depending on season.

Tickets, capacity and what happens if you miss a sailing
Line 632 is not a specific-departure reservation line. A purchased ticket is valid for any departure on the date printed on the ticket.
What this means for drivers: the ticket is valid for the date, but vehicle boarding still depends on available capacity. If your preferred ferry fills, you can normally queue for a later departure the same day.
Buying tickets
- Online: buy through Jadrolinija’s website or app and keep the ticket on your phone.
- At the port: tickets can also be purchased at the Drvenik and Sućuraj Jadrolinija sales points.
- Vehicle tickets: have the vehicle registration/traffic-permit information ready.
How early should you arrive?
Because the ticket does not reserve one exact sailing, there is no benefit in treating generic reservation-line timing as a guarantee of boarding.
- Summer with a vehicle: arrive early for the departure you want, particularly in July and August.
- Busy weekends: allow an additional buffer because vehicle queues can form well before departure.
- If full: remain in the appropriate queue or follow port-staff instructions for the next available ferry.
Weather and schedule changes
The official 2026 timetable is temporary and subject to change. Re-check Jadrolinija’s live schedule and service notices close to departure, especially during strong winds or unsettled weather.
Ports: Drvenik and Sućuraj
Drvenik ferry port
Drvenik is a small coastal settlement on the mainland, and the ferry terminal is easy to find from the main coastal road.
- Jadrolinija sales point: Donja Vala bb, 21333 Drvenik
- With a vehicle: follow Trajekt/Ferry signs and join the Sućuraj vehicle queue.
- Summer: queues are the main practical issue, so avoid arriving at the last minute.
Sućuraj ferry port
Sućuraj is a compact settlement at the eastern end of Hvar. The ferry arrives directly beside the town and onward road toward the rest of the island.
- Jadrolinija sales point: Trajektna 1, Sućuraj, Hvar
- On foot: the town centre is close to the ferry landing.
- Driving onward: follow the D116 west toward Jelsa, Stari Grad and Hvar Town.
Sućuraj to Jelsa, Stari Grad and Hvar Town
The short ferry crossing can be misleading if your final destination is western Hvar. Sućuraj is at the island’s far eastern end, and reaching the main central and western destinations involves a long cross-island drive on the D116.
| Destination | Approx. distance from Sućuraj | Practical note |
|---|---|---|
| Jelsa | about 50 km | First major destination when driving west across Hvar. |
| Stari Grad | about 60 km | Main car-ferry port for the Split-Stari Grad route. |
| Hvar Town | about 75 km | Longest onward drive from Sućuraj; allow substantial extra time in summer. |
The eastern part of Hvar’s road network is narrower and more winding than the short ferry crossing might suggest, so route choice matters.
Drvenik-Sućuraj or Split-Stari Grad?
Choose Drvenik-Sućuraj if:
- You are coming from the Makarska Riviera or southern Croatia.
- You are staying on eastern Hvar.
- You want the shortest car-ferry crossing to the island.
- You do not mind a longer drive if continuing toward central Hvar.
Choose Split-Stari Grad if:
- You are starting in Split.
- You are staying in Stari Grad, Jelsa or Hvar Town.
- You prefer a much shorter onward drive on Hvar.
- A specific reserved departure suits your itinerary better.
See the Split-Stari Grad ferry guide for timetable and fare details.
FAQ: Drvenik - Sućuraj car ferry
How long is the ferry from Drvenik to Sućuraj?
The crossing on Jadrolinija Line 632 takes about 30 minutes.
Does the ferry run all year?
Yes. Line 632 operates year-round, with many more departures during summer.
Does my ticket reserve one specific departure?
No. A Line 632 ticket is valid for any departure on the travel date printed on the ticket. Vehicle boarding remains subject to available capacity.
What happens if the ferry I want is full?
You can normally queue for a later Line 632 departure on the same travel date, subject to available vehicle space.
Should I book in advance in summer?
Buying the ticket in advance is convenient, but it does not reserve one exact sailing. In July and August, the important thing for drivers is arriving early enough to join the queue for the departure they want.
How much is the ferry in 2026?
Standard fares are seasonal. An adult costs €2.40 in the lower season and €4.10 in the higher season. A standard car costs €13.50 and €19.70 respectively.
Can I take a motorcycle or bicycle?
Yes. The official 2026 tariff includes motorcycles, mopeds/quads and bicycles.
Is Drvenik-Sućuraj the best ferry for Hvar Town?
Not necessarily. The sea crossing is very short, but Hvar Town is at the opposite end of the island. If you are starting in Split or staying in central or western Hvar, the Split-Stari Grad car ferry may be more convenient overall.
Where should I check for timetable changes?
Use Jadrolinija’s current timetable and service notices before travel. The published 2026 timetable is temporary and can change for weather or operational reasons.
