During the high season (May through September), routes to and from Brač are more frequent, but ticket demand is also higher as it is a popular summer vacation destination. If you’re planning to visit in the summer, especially in July or August, we recommend booking your tickets 1-2 months in advance. 

During the rest of the year, you can book your tickets just a few days before departure. Please note that ferry schedules are subject to change throughout the year, depending on the season.

Tucked into the heart of the Adriatic, Brač is a sun-drenched gem where rugged beauty meets the distinct charm of the Croatian islands. Its dramatic coastline and laid-back rhythm draw in all sorts of travelers: beach lovers, history enthusiasts, and nature explorers looking for their next adventure.

Arguably, the island’s crown jewel is Zlatni Rat Beach in Bol, a windsurfer’s dream and one of the most Instagrammable beaches of the Mediterranean. Its horn-shaped tip famously shifts with the wind and tides, offering a fresh view with every visit. But Brač is so much more than its famous beach, as it is a destination that asks you to slow down and take in its unique vibe. A stroll through Supetar’s cobbled streets or Milna’s quiet harbor will surely convince you that  Brač is a place where time seems to stand still, allowing you to savour every moment.

The island’s natural beauty is another standout feature. A hike up Vidova Gora, the tallest peak on any Adriatic island, will reward you with jaw-dropping views of the sea and neighboring islands. Of course, no visit would be complete without indulging in the local cuisine: think fresh-caught seafood, traditional lamb-based dishes, and a variety of delicious risottos. And don’t think of skipping dessert because procip, a warm treat made with local caramelized curd, is simply to die for. 

Here is some helpful information for a comfortable trip and a memorable stay in Brač:

• Arrive at your departure port at least 45 minutes early, especially during high season.
• Ferries operating routes to and from Brač are mostly catamarans and do not allow vehicle transportation. On the island, there are bus connections between most points of interest. Additionally, Sutivan and Milna are connected by a ferry route.  
• For an Adriatic island-hopping experience, consider traveling by ferry from Split to nearby Dalmatian islands, such as Hvar. 
• The local currency is the euro, and most establishments on the island accept cards, though having some cash is handy.

Depending on the departure port and ferry operator, routes from Split are usually serviced by high-speed catamarans. Onboard amenities typically include:

Cabins are not available on routes to and from Split as the average trip duration is short. Most ferries are accessible to passengers with disabilities and pets are also allowed on most ferries.

There are three main ports on Brač, serving different parts of the island:
