You certainly don't have an easy or inexpensive way to get from Split to Nice. One option is to take a flight from Zagreb to Milan on Germanwings.com. 79Euro with the flight going through Cologne-Bonn Germany. It's a 7.0hr. flight. Then, you have a 90-minute bus transfer to the Milan train station from Milan Malpensa airport. Then, you have a 5.0hr train ride from Milan to Nice for 30Euro per person.
The ferry will cost about 70Euro per person according to a ferry web page that I have. Then, a train from Ancona to Nice will take 9.0hr. with a change in Milan. Cost is 70.90Euro per person. Plus, you'll probably need a hotel or room in Ancona for the night as the ferry arrives at 21:00.

You can get there by Sky Europe. First, you have to fly from Split to Vienna. Then, you fly from Vienna to Nice. On the SkyEurope website, you can't input Split as the origination and Nice as the destination. It looks like you have to make two different flight arrangements. One flight from Split to Vienna and then another from Vienna to Nice.
You can also fly from Split to Marseilles on GermanWings and then take a train from Marseilles to Nice.
