How to buy tickets and secure your departure (reservation line 636)
Split-Rogač is a reservation car-ferry line: when you buy a ticket for line 636, you are selecting a specific departure time and reserving space for your vehicle on that sailing (subject to correct vehicle details).
Buy online (recommended in summer)
- Choose Split → Rogač (Šolta) (or reverse), date, and the departure time you want.
- Enter vehicle details correctly (category, length/height if prompted) and passenger count.
- Have your vehicle registration/traffic permit handy (details are required for vehicle tickets).
- Keep the ticket on your phone: printing is not required.
Buy at the port (Split or Šolta)
- Use Jadrolinija ticket offices/points of sale at the port if you prefer in-person purchase. Buy tickets online.
- Bring your vehicle registration/traffic permit.
- In July and August, popular sailings can sell out—buying ahead online is usually the safest way to lock a departure time.
Boarding checklist (cars and motorbikes)
- Arrive early and follow port staff directions for vehicle lanes and boarding order.
- Have your ticket ready on your phone and keep ID and vehicle documents accessible.
- Double-check that your vehicle category/size matches the ticket (incorrect declarations can affect boarding eligibility).
Changes, cancellations and missed sailings
On local lines, Jadrolinija notes that ticket changes are not possible; if your plans change, the usual approach is to cancel according to the official rules and then purchase a new ticket for another departure (availability permitting). If you are running late on the day, contact port staff or Jadrolinija support as soon as possible.
Boarding in Split: where to go and how it works
Split’s ferry terminal (Trajektna luka Split) sits right on the waterfront in the City Port, next to the main bus station and train station and a short walk from the Old Town / Riva promenade. Before you queue, check the departure boards to confirm the correct pier/“gat” and any last-minute berth changes.
Step-by-step: boarding with a car or motorbike
- Follow signs for Trajekt / Ferry as you approach the port area, then watch the electronic boards for your destination and pier (“gat”).
- Enter the correct vehicle lane for your sailing and join the queue.
- Keep your ticket/reservation ready on your phone (plus ID and vehicle documents if needed).
- When staff signal, drive on board and park as directed; apply the handbrake and leave the vehicle in gear/park.
Tickets, help and facilities
If you didn’t buy online, use Jadrolinija ticket offices/points of sale in the port area. Split ferry terminal has the usual travel essentials nearby (ATMs, kiosks, cafés/fast food), but in high season lines can be long—online purchase is typically faster.
Parking near Split ferry terminal
If you are leaving a car in Split (travelling to Šolta without it), plan parking ahead. The closest options are in the port area, with additional lots within walking distance. For more details, check out parking in Split
Arriving in Rogač (Šolta): getting to Grohote, Stomorska, Maslinica
Rogač (Rogac) is Šolta’s main ferry port for vehicles. Once you roll off the ferry, you are already on the island’s main road spine, so reaching the key settlements is straightforward by car, taxi, or local bus.
If you are not driving, Grohote (the island’s main village) is very close to the port (around 1.5-2 km), and Šolta’s local bus routes start in Rogač and run toward Stomorska (east) and Maslinica (west), with timetables adapted to ferry departures and arrivals.
| From Rogač to… | Distance (approx.) | Typical drive time | Typical bus time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Grohote | ~1.5-2 km | ~3-5 min | ~3 min |
| Maslinica | ~9 km | ~12 min | ~17-20 min |
| Stomorska | ~18 km | ~25 min | ~25 min |
Quick tips after arrival
- If you are doing a day trip, decide your return sailing early and aim to arrive back at the port well before boarding time in high season.
- Travelling without a vehicle? Use Grohote as your easy base for supplies and connections, then pick one area (Maslinica or Stomorska) rather than trying to cover the whole island in a few hours.
- Need more Split planning context? See our Split day trips guide.
A day trip from Split to Šolta is one of the easiest ways to add a quieter island feel to your itinerary—especially if you want swimming stops, seaside villages, and a taste of “real” Dalmatia. Many Split boat tours include Šolta as part of a half-day or full-day route (often combined with the Blue Lagoon and nearby islands), giving you time to snorkel, swim, and explore places like Maslinica at your own pace.
Blue Lagoon, Borkko Beach & Šolta from Split with lunch & drinks
Swap the busy mainland for the open sea on a cruise from Split, with sweeping views of the Adriatic coastline along the way.
You’ll pause at Borkko Beach on Čiovo Island, then continue to the Blue Lagoon for relaxed lagoon time and island exploring. A freshly prepared Mediterranean lunch with drinks is served aboard the motor yacht Tamaris, and you’ll have free time to swim, snorkel, or simply unwind.
On the island of Šolta, Maslinica is a classic Dalmatian fishing hamlet, an ideal stop to experience the laid-back local way of life and meet its endearing inhabitants—while the tour keeps things simple with lunch and snorkel equipment included.
Peak-season tips for drivers (Split - Rogač car ferry)
In July and August (and on weekends), Split port can get congested and popular sailings can fill up. Use these practical tips to reduce queues and protect your departure time.
- Buy early for the sailing you want: line 636 is a reservation line, so choose the exact departure time when purchasing and keep the ticket handy on your phone.
- Arrive early with a vehicle: aim for 60 minutes before departure in summer (30 minutes in winter). Earlier is smart on Fridays, Sundays, and around check-in/check-out hours.
- Pick "less stressful" sailings: early-morning crossings usually mean smoother port access, while mid-afternoon often brings heavier traffic around Split and longer vehicle queues.
- Declare the correct vehicle category: pricing and boarding depend on your vehicle type and (for some categories) length/height, measure if you’re unsure.
- Keep documents accessible: have ID plus your vehicle registration/traffic permit ready if requested for vehicle tickets.
- Prepare for wind-related disruptions: strong bura/jugo can delay or cancel sailings, check Jadrolinija traffic updates and HAK ferry traffic on travel day.
Tip for day trips: decide your return sailing in advance and get back to the port early in high season, Šolta is relaxed, but Split queues are not.
