About the Prvić Luka – Šepurine crossing
Prvić Luka and Prvić Šepurine are the only two settlements on Prvić, a tiny car-free island of barely 2.5 km² lying just off Vodice and Šibenik. They sit a short distance apart on the same island, so this crossing is really the middle of Jadrolinija's Šibenik–Zlarin–Prvić–Vodice passenger boat, which calls at Prvić Luka and then continues to Šepurine as consecutive stops. Onboard, the hop between the two harbours is only a few minutes.
Two villages, one small island
Prvić Luka is the island's arrival point and its cultural heart. It is home to the Faust Vrančić Memorial Centre, dedicated to the 16th-century Renaissance polymath born on Prvić who sketched an early parachute and a wind-driven mill. Šepurine, on the western side, is the quieter, more residential of the two, gathered around a stone waterfront and the church of St. Roko, with a shallow, family-friendly beach.
Boat or footpath
Because both villages are on one island, many visitors skip the boat entirely and walk. A flat, well-marked coastal footpath connects Prvić Luka and Šepurine in roughly 15 to 20 minutes, passing chapels, olive groves and views back toward the mainland. The Jadrolinija boat is the sensible choice mainly when you are arriving from or heading on to Zlarin, Šibenik or Vodice and simply want to step off one stop later.
- Operator: Jadrolinija, passenger-only boat (no cars — Prvić is car-free)
- Nature of leg: two consecutive island stops on the same line
- Onboard time: only a few minutes between the two harbours
- Walking alternative: coastal footpath, about 15–20 minutes
Sailings are most frequent from June to September and thin out sharply in the off-season, so always check the current Jadrolinija timetable before relying on the boat for such a short hop.

Getting to & from the ports
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a ferry between Prvić Luka and Šepurine?
Not necessarily. Both villages are on the same small island, Prvić, and are linked by a flat coastal footpath that takes about 15 to 20 minutes on foot. The Jadrolinija boat is most useful if you are travelling on to or from Zlarin, Šibenik or Vodice and simply want to get off one stop later.
How long does the boat take between Prvić Luka and Šepurine?
Very little time. The two harbours are close together on the same island, so the onboard leg is only a few minutes. Prvić Luka and Šepurine are consecutive stops on Jadrolinija's Šibenik–Zlarin–Prvić–Vodice passenger line.
Can I take a car between the two Prvić villages?
No. Prvić is a car-free island, and the Jadrolinija service is a passenger-only boat. You move around the island and between the two villages on foot.
What is there to see in each village?
Prvić Luka has the Faust Vrančić Memorial Centre, honouring the Renaissance inventor born on the island, plus the main harbour and restaurants. Šepurine is quieter and more residential, with a stone waterfront, the church of St. Roko and a shallow beach that suits families.
How often does the boat run?
Frequency is highest in summer, roughly June to September, with several sailings a day on the Šibenik–Vodice passenger line. Outside the main season the timetable is reduced, so check Jadrolinija's current schedule before you travel.
How much does a ticket cost?
Ticket prices vary by operator, season and whether you bring a vehicle. Check the operator (Jadrolinija) for current fares.

Does the ferry run all year?

Can I take a pet on this ferry?

What's the luggage allowance?
Foot passengers can normally bring their own luggage aboard at no extra charge, with racks or a luggage area near the entrance, and there is usually no airline-style weight limit. Oversized or excess items may carry a fee, so check with the operator if you are travelling with bulky baggage.
