Split - Brac - Dubrovnik

Sorry I can’t give you too much advice since I haven’t been to Omiš or Brač. Some ferries run more than once a day. Check out Croatiaferries.com. I like Kaptian Luka because it only takes passengers, no cars. They have catamarans while Jadrolinija is a large ferry. I do love Split and Trogir is a nice morning trip. The bus takes about an hour. We stayed at the Hotel Peristil (in Split) which is inside the Palace. It is wonderful and includes a lovely breakfast served in their dining room. They also have a great restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating.

If you need a guide while in Split let me know, I have someone is is great and very reasonably priced.

I have not been to Brac, so can’t comment on whether or not to keep the car, but based on stops in Hvar and Korćula between Split and Dubrovnik, I would be researching the possibility of just renting a car for a day (or 2) on Brac instead. Quick search shows a company near the ferry arrival in Supetar.

You don’t need a car in Split or Dubrovnik, so unless it is worth the ferry cost AND the hassle to do a round trip rental back to Dubrovnik (if it is even possible to island hop from Brac with the car), it doesn’t seem to make sense to take the car all that way. Return the car in Split and you probably have more options for finding a place to stay instead of having to select one with parking.

Yes, I only see one ferry a day on Krilo or the Jadrolinija car ferry. I am with Barbara on enjoying the catamaran without worrying about a car, but that is an individual decision. https://www.jadrolinija.hr/en/sailing-schedule-ENG/local-lines-2022.

Remember that with 2 nights, you will have about 1 1/2 days on Brac. So how long to stay depends on what you want to do: relax or stay busy.

Definitely stay within walking distance of the Palace and ferry area in Split.

Avoid Zlatni Rat between the hours of 11am - 4pm as it’s full of drunk teenagers on party boats there for the day. Drunk loud Russians mainly who have no regard for the privacy of others.

It’s probably not worth taking the car to Brac for such a short stay. With a car, you have to be at the ferry terminal at least an hour before sailing to queue. If the boat is full, you could have a longer wait for the next boat. As a foot passenger, you can just walk up. Book for the catamarans (no cars) in advance. Some car hire operators don’t allow you to take the car on ferries.

Jadrolinija.hr and Krilo.hr are the websites you need for the ferries and catamarans. Yes, on many routes there is only one sailing a day in each direction.

On Croatiaferries.com you can see all the ferries and the times leaving and length of trip. They also have the prices at the bottom. Make sure you check the correct sailing month. You then have to go to the individual websites to book.
