Taking the Split to Supetar car ferry is the main way to bring a vehicle from the mainland to Brač. This is Jadrolinija’s ferry line 631 and the crossing takes about 50 minutes, making it the most practical option for drivers heading to Supetar, Bol, Vidova Gora, and the rest of the island.
In Split, departures are assigned to different berths depending on the day and traffic. Check the electronic departure boards at the ferry terminal (or the Port of Split live departures) to confirm the berth for your sailing. If you’re arriving by car, follow the fixed road signs and electronic boards from the start of the port area; after you pass the terminal building, port staff typically guide vehicles into the correct waiting line.
For comfort and a better chance of boarding your preferred sailing, arrive early (especially in summer). As a quick 2026 price snapshot: adults pay about €4.40–€6.50 (seasonal), children 3–12 about €2.20–€3.20, a standard car (up to 5.0 m and up to 2.0 m high) about €18.20–€26.10, and a bicycle about €4.30–€6.20.

Live changes, cancellations, and reliability
For Split - Supetar (line 631), the published timetable is a strong planning tool, but it’s not a guarantee. Jadrolinija notes that the sailing schedule is subject to change and guarantees accuracy only on its official website, so it’s smart to re-check close to departure time (especially in winter or during strong winds).
On the day of travel, confirm two things when you arrive at Split ferry port: the departure time and the assigned berth. The berth for Supetar can change, and the quickest way to verify it is on the electronic boards at the terminal or via the Port of Split live departures list.
- Best place to verify changes: Jadrolinija: Split - Supetar (line 631)
- Common reasons for disruption: Adverse sea conditions and strong winds can lead to delays or cancellations for safety reasons.
- If your sailing is delayed or cancelled: Follow port announcements and speak to Jadrolinija staff at the terminal. Passenger-rights rules generally provide options such as rerouting to your destination or a refund in case of cancellation or longer delays, depending on circumstances.
Practical tip: If you’re travelling with a vehicle, avoid cutting it close. Arriving earlier gives you more flexibility if there’s a last-minute berth change, a delay, or heavy queueing at the port.
Tickets, queues, boarding, and "reservations" for cars
Split - Supetar (Brač) is one of the busiest ferry routes in Croatia, so it helps to understand how vehicle loading works. For ferry lines where reservations are not possible, Jadrolinija states that boarding is based on arrival order - in other words, the earlier you join the vehicle queue, the better your chances of boarding your preferred sailing.
Good news: for line 631, Jadrolinija also states that your ticket is valid for any departure on the date printed on the ticket. That means if you miss a sailing (or it fills up before you reach the ramp), you can use the same ticket for the next available departure that day.
- Is there a reservation for a vehicle spot on line 631? Currently, Jadrolinija’s reservation system applies only to specific listed routes, and Split - Supetar is not on that list. For most travellers this means: buy the correct ticket, then queue with vehicles and board by order of arrival.
- How early should you arrive? Jadrolinija recommends being at the port at least 45 minutes before departure. In peak summer (especially weekends), arriving earlier than that is wise if you want your preferred sailing.
- Does buying online let you skip the vehicle queue? Buying online saves time at the ticket office, but you still need to join the correct vehicle lane and follow staff instructions for loading.
- What if the ferry is full? Stay in the queue. You’ll be positioned to board the next departure, and your ticket remains valid for that date.
- Boarding process: Follow electronic boards and staff directions at Split ferry port; vehicles are loaded in controlled waves, and crew will guide you when to move toward the ramp.
Planning tip: If you’re travelling on a tight schedule (flight, check-in time, etc.), build in buffer time. Busy days can mean longer queues even when departures run normally.
Car ferry vs fast ferry (important)
If you’re travelling with a car, van, camper, trailer, or motorcycle, you need the car ferry (Split - Supetar, line 631). This conventional ferry takes about 50 minutes and has a vehicle deck.
You may also see “fast ferry”, “catamaran”, or “high-speed boat” options for Split and Brač. These are typically foot-passenger services (no vehicles). Vehicle transport is possible on ferry service lines only, while ship and high-speed service lines are for foot passengers only.
If you’re travelling without a car, a catamaran can be a good alternative on some dates. See our guide to the Split to Brač and Hvar catamaran ferry for passenger-only options.
Quick check: If you see a Split - Supetar journey time of around 20 minutes online, that’s almost certainly a passenger-only high-speed service, not the car ferry. For vehicles, plan on the 50-minute car ferry crossing.
- Choose the car ferry if you need to bring a vehicle, or if you want the most frequent, vehicle-friendly connection between Split and Brač.
- Choose a fast ferry/catamaran only if you’re travelling as a foot passenger and don’t need to transport a vehicle.
Alternatives if you don’t need a car
If you don’t need to bring a vehicle to Brač, you may be able to save time by taking a fast ferry/catamaran from Split. Just note the key rule: vehicles can be transported on ferry service lines only, while high-speed service lines are for foot passengers only.
Fast ferry (catamaran) options from Split
- Best for: foot passengers travelling light who want to reach Brač quickly without a car.
- Important: fast-ship tickets are typically tied to the selected departure time (unlike the Split-Supetar car ferry ticket rule).
- Where to start: see our guide to the Split to Brač and Hvar catamaran ferry for passenger-only routes and how they work.
- Official example route: Jadrolinija operates a fast-ship (catamaran) service via Split - Bol (Brač) on some schedules.
Alternative car-ferry route to Brač (useful for some destinations)
If your final destination is on the southern or eastern side of Brač, it can sometimes make sense to reach the island via a different car-ferry port and reduce driving on Brač. A common alternative is the Makarska - Sumartin car ferry (crossing time about 60 minutes).
- Best for: drivers heading toward the eastern/southeastern side of Brač who don’t mind approaching from the Makarska Riviera.
- Trade-off: you add mainland driving to/from Makarska, but you may save time once you’re on the island (depending on where you’re staying).

Split ferry port logistics (cars, lanes, parking, location)
Split Ferry Port is in the city-centre harbour area on the waterfront (address commonly listed as Gat sv. Duje 1, 21000 Split), a short walk from the Old Town and Riva. It’s also Split’s main transport hub: the main bus station and train station are right next to the port, so transfers are usually just a few minutes on foot.
In Split, gat means “pier/dock” and you’ll also see vez used for “berth”. The exact pier/berth for Supetar can change, so always check the electronic departure boards at the terminal and confirm on the official Port of Split live departures list before you head into the queue.
Arriving by car: where to queue and what to do
- Navigation tip: search for “Trajektna luka Split” or “Split Ferry Port” to avoid being routed to a different harbour point.
- Follow signs and boards: from the start of the port area, fixed road signs and electronic boards guide vehicles toward the correct ferry lanes.
- Join the vehicle queue: once you pass the terminal zone, port staff typically direct vehicles into the correct waiting line for the next Supetar sailing.
- Check pier/berth first: on busy days, go straight to the departure board to confirm the assigned gat/vez, then stay in the correct lane and follow staff instructions for loading.
Tip: In July and August, the last approach roads and lanes near the piers can be slow. If you’re driving onto the ferry, it’s usually better to go straight to the vehicle queue (rather than trying to park first) unless you arrive very early.
Parking near the ferry port
Parking close to the waterfront fills quickly in peak season, so it helps to have a Plan A and a backup a short walk away. For zones, lots and practical advice, use our Parking in Split guide.
- Closest options: paid lots and street zones near the port area (availability varies by time of day and season).
- Common backup: parking options a bit further from the waterfront (often faster than circling the harbour in traffic).
Arriving on foot (bus or train)
- From the bus station: you’re already in the port area; follow signs for “Trajekt” (car ferry) or head to the boards to confirm the pier.
- From the train station: walk toward the waterfront and check the departure boards for the assigned pier/berth.

Arriving in Supetar: leaving the port and getting around Brač
Supetar is Brač’s main ferry gateway and the island’s largest town, so arriving is straightforward: you disembark directly onto the waterfront and are immediately in town. If you’re on foot, it’s easy to walk to the promenade, cafés, and accommodation nearby.
If you’re arriving with a vehicle, follow crew instructions as you leave the ship, then continue out of the port area and onto the island’s main roads. The main state road on Brač connects to the Supetar ferry port (D113), with onward junctions in or near Supetar toward other parts of the island (for example toward Sutivan and Milna via D114, and toward Brač Airport and Bol via D115 further inland).
- By car: follow port staff directions when unloading, then continue along the signed main routes for your destination on Brač.
- By bus: Supetar’s bus station is on the waterfront near the ferry port, with services to places such as Bol and other towns on Brač (check Arriva schedules by date).
- By taxi: taxis are usually easiest to pick up near the port area in season; confirm the price before you depart if you don’t have a meter fare.
If you need help with return tickets or last-minute changes, Jadrolinija lists a sales point/agency in Supetar (Ul. hrvatskih velikana bb) with seasonal working hours.
