Jadrolinija runs both the catamaran (line 9405) and the car ferry (line 435). A second operator, G&V Iadera, also runs a foot-passenger service (line 9406) on the same crossing.

Yes, Iž is served daily throughout the year because it is an inhabited island, but there are more departures in the summer high season than in the low season. Always check the current Jadrolinija timetable before travelling.
