Fares start from €7.90, with prices varying depending on the season and whether a vehicle is transported. This connection forms a key part of the Dalmatian island network.
The port of Split is a major hub for ferry services, with connections to Bol, Dubrovnik, Hvar, Korčula town, Milna, and Rogač. From Vela luka, passengers can find onward ferry connections to the island of Lastovo.
