We are traveling to Croatia in late September, 2012. Is there only one fast ferry (catamaran) at 17:00 everyday departing from Split to Hvar? Is there only one catamaran from Hvar to Korcula departing at 18:15? And last from Korcula to Dubrovnik we are traveling on a Sunday, in September. Is there ferry service on Sunday? Or a later bus than the 6:45AM? Has anyone hired a shuttle service? Cost? Thank you.

I'm in Croatia now, on Korcula. Don't know about September, but I believe the Krilo catamaran goes once daily, goes Korcula to Splt (with the stop in Hvar) in the morning, then goes the other way in the afternoon. Don't forget that there are also the Jadrolinja ferries - not as fast, but with more options. What we did (yesterday) was start in Split, we took an 8:30 am Jadrolinja ferry (large car ferry) to Stari Grad on Hvar Island, then connected via bus (15 minutes, no waiting, coordinated with arriving ferry) to Hvar town. We spent half a day (11 am - 5 pm) in Hvar town, which was plenty for us, then got on the Krilo catamaran at 5 pm for the ride to Korcula. That worked out perfectly for us. To get from Korcula to Dubrovnik, unless the ferry is running (it doesn't run in May, not sure about September), then you have 2 options: a very early morning bus (6 am?) or a transfer via mini-bus that leaves around 7:30 am - that's what we're doing tomorrow. The cost for the minibus transfer was 150 Kuna, a bit more than the bus but wel'll pay that for a couple extra hours sleep and a mo comfy ride. Korcula is beautiful. I was a bit underwhelmed with Hvar, to be honest - a few hours there was plenty for me. Hope that helps.
