Tickets & reservations (how it works on Line 602)

Split ↔ Vis (Jadrolinija Line 602) is a reservation-based route: when you buy a ticket for a specific sailing, that ticket also acts as your reservation for that departure (including a vehicle space, if you add a vehicle). Book your ferry tickets, in the mobile app, and at official sales points.

How to buy online (step-by-step)

1. Search Split → Vis (or Vis → Split) for your travel date.
2. Select your departure time and add passengers (adult/child).
3. If you’re bringing a vehicle, add the vehicle type (car/van/camper/motorcycle/trailer) and enter the required vehicle details from your registration document.

Buying a car ticket: what you’ll need

• Vehicle category: standard car vs higher vehicle (height/length), or trailer/camper, etc.
• Vehicle registration (traffic permit) details: keep the registration document with you (you may need it for purchase/verification).
• Correct sailing time: on reservation lines, your ticket is tied to the selected departure time.

Can I buy at the Split port on the day?

Yes, you can buy at official sales points, but in July-August queues can be long and vehicle capacity can fill quickly. If you’re travelling with a car (especially weekends), buying online is usually the easiest way to secure the sailing you want.

Changes & cancellations (reservation lines)

On Jadrolinija lines with reservation, a ticket can be cancelled only until the departure date and time shown on the ticket. Cancellations can be requested at Jadrolinija agencies or by sending a request to the official booking email listed in Jadrolinija’s FAQ.

Boarding with a car: when to arrive + queue tips

Split ↔ Vis (Jadrolinija Line 602) is a reservation-based car ferry: a purchased ticket also serves as a reservation for that specific departure, but you still need to arrive on time and follow port staff instructions for vehicle loading.

Boarding with a car in Split (what to do)

1. Arrive early and approach Split Ferry Port with time to spare (summer traffic around the waterfront can be slow).
2. Have your e-ticket ready (phone/email) and keep your ID accessible.
3. Join the correct vehicle queue for the Split → Vis sailing and follow directions from port staff/marshals.
4. Wait in lane until vehicles are called forward; do not change lanes unless instructed.
5. Drive aboard only when waved in, then park as directed, apply the handbrake, and take valuables with you.
6. Head to the passenger deck (keep your ticket handy in case of checks).

If you arrive late (important)

On reservation-based sailings, arriving too close to departure can mean you miss your allocated loading window. If you’re late, port staff may be unable to load your vehicle on that departure even if you have a ticket. In that case, you may need to switch to a later sailing (subject to capacity and ticket conditions).

Quick checklist for car travellers

• E-ticket/QR code saved offline (in case of poor signal at the port)
• Driver ID + passengers’ IDs
• Vehicle registration/traffic permit details (useful for any checks)
• Water/snacks for summer queues and the 2h+ crossing

Split Ferry Port basics (where to go + parking)

The Split ↔ Vis car ferry departs from Split Ferry Port (Trajektna luka Split) in the city centre, right next to Split’s main bus station and train station. The port area is busy in summer, so your goal is to (1) confirm the correct pier/berth for your sailing and (2) get into the correct vehicle queue early.}

How to find the correct pier fast (recommended)

1. Check the departure boards inside/near the terminal for your Split → Vis sailing.
2. Open the Port of Split: live departures & assigned berths (official) to confirm the berth number (this is especially helpful when berths change).
3. Follow signage to the correct gat and join the vehicle lane for your sailing (staff will direct loading order).

Ticket office note (useful if you’re buying in person)

Jadrolinija ticket sales in Split are available at the Gat sv. Duje office and online. The port’s Gat sv. Petar ticket office has been closed since 2 October 2025 due to reconstruction (per Jadrolinija’s notice referenced in our Split port guide), so use Gat sv. Duje if you need a counter.

Parking near Split Ferry Port (car ferry travellers)

• Closest options: paid street zones and paid lots near the port (they can fill quickly in July–August). Parking near the port fills quickly in peak season, so plan using our parking in Split guide.
• Car ferry tip: if your sailing is soon, it’s often better to go straight to the vehicle queue instead of parking first (parking searches can cost you your place in line).
• Have a backup plan: if the closest areas are full, aim for a slightly longer walk rather than circling the waterfront (traffic builds fast around departures).

Arriving in Vis: port location + getting to Komiža and around the island

The Split ↔ Vis car ferry (Jadrolinija Line 602) arrives at the port listed as Vis (Vis Town). From here you can walk into town, pick up a taxi, connect to the local bus, or drive across the island if you brought a vehicle.

Komiža is on the other side of the island from Vis Town, and it’s a popular base for beaches and boat trips (including seasonal excursions toward Biševo/Blue Cave).

Option 1: You’re arriving with a car

• Follow signs out of Vis Town toward Komiža (the cross-island road is straightforward but can be slow during peak season).
• If you’re staying in Komiža, consider unloading luggage first, parking can be tight near the waterfront in high season.

Option 2: Local bus (Vis Town ↔ Komiža)

Vis Island has a local bus connection between Vis and Komiža, but the timetable is seasonal and can change. In some official local timetables, departures marked with a star are noted as dependent on the ferry’s arrival time in Vis, which is useful if you’re connecting from Split.

For the most accurate bus times for your travel date, check the latest local timetable (seasonal PDFs are commonly published by local authorities/tourism sources).

Option 3: Taxi or pre-arranged transfer

Taxis and pre-booked transfers are the simplest option if you’re arriving late, travelling with lots of luggage, or want to go directly to Komiža or a bay outside the towns.

Getting around Vis Island after arrival

• Car/scooter rental: good for reaching beaches and coves outside Vis Town and Komiža.
• Boat trips: day trips operate seasonally; confirm departure points and times locally (Vis Town and Komiža are the main hubs).
• Walking: if you’re staying in Vis Town, many restaurants/shops are reachable on foot from the port area.

Car ferry vs fast passenger boats (what you can/can’t bring)

If you’re travelling with a car, motorcycle, van, camper, or trailer, you need a ferry service line (vehicles are transported on ferry lines only). High-speed boats/catamarans are for foot passengers only.

Popular passenger-only options (seasonal)

• Krilo (Kapetan Luka) and TP Line operate passenger catamaran routes in Central Dalmatia (availability varies by season and day).
• Jadrolinija fast ship lines can also connect Split with islands seasonally (foot passengers only on fast services).

Don’t want to travel independently? Consider a day tour

If your goal is to see Vis and nearby highlights without bringing a car, a popular alternative is a full-day boat excursion from Split. Many tours combine multiple stops, often including Vis, Hvar, and the Blue Cave (Biševo).
