Fares are from Jadrolinija's 2026 price list for line 635. The off-season list applies 1 January to 28 May and 28 September to 31 December 2026; the seasonal list applies 29 May to 27 September. The off-season prices, valid today, are shown. The price is the same in both directions, port dues and VAT included. A vehicle ticket does not include the driver or passengers. Children under 3 travel free. The island fare applies all year, only with a Croatian island card. All fares in euros (EUR).

Line 635 is Jadrolinija's car ferry from Split to the island of Hvar, and the first thing to know is where it lands: it docks at the ferry port of Stari Grad, not in Hvar town. From Stari Grad you continue to Hvar town by road. The fast boats that tie up in Hvar town itself are passenger catamarans on other lines and do not take vehicles.

The timetable gives the crossing as 110 minutes (Jadrolinija's route page rounds it to 120), over roughly 42 km. Since 28 September the off-season schedule applies. Until Friday 23 October there are four sailings each way on weekdays and three at weekends; from Saturday 24 October it is three a day, every day, through December, with the morning boats dropped on 25 and 26 December. Summer is much busier: up to seven sailings each way ran in high season, with a 01:30 departure from Split between 20 June and 24 August. Jadrolinija has not yet published the 2027 timetable.

Unlike the Supetar route, this is a reservation line. Your ticket books a vehicle space on one named sailing and is only valid for that date and time, so buy it before you set off, online, in the mJadrolinija app or at a Jadrolinija office. You will need the vehicle registration document; with a rental car whose plate you do not know yet, choose the rental option. Jadrolinija asks drivers to be at the port at least 45 minutes before departure, and 60 minutes in the summer season. Cancelling costs 10% of the fare and is possible until the departure time.

Prices drop after the summer. The off-season fare, in force from 28 September to 31 December 2026, is EUR 5.90 per adult, EUR 3.00 for a child aged 3 to 12, EUR 35.60 for a car up to 5 m and EUR 5.70 for a bike, against EUR 8.40 per adult and EUR 47.60 per car between 29 May and 27 September. The driver and every passenger pay on top of the car fare. Lower island fares require a Croatian island card and are not open to visitors.

  • Get to the port in good time: on car ferries vehicle boarding closes before departure, and queues build in summer.
  • Check the operator's notices on the day — bora and jugo winds and breakdowns change or cancel sailings.
  • Buy your ticket in advance where the operator allows it; vehicle space is limited on some routes.

Frequently asked questions

No. Line 635 lands at Stari Grad ferry port, and you drive on to Hvar town from there. Jadrolinija's catamarans on lines 641 and 659 do sail from Split to Hvar town, but they carry foot passengers only.
The timetable and Jadrolinija's departure search both give 1 hour 50 minutes (the 08:30 from Split arrives at 10:20). The route page mentions 120 minutes.
Off-season fares apply from 28 September to 31 December 2026: EUR 5.90 per adult, EUR 3.00 per child aged 3-12 and EUR 35.60 for a car up to 5 m, with everyone in the car paying a passenger fare too. In the 29 May to 27 September season the adult and car fares were EUR 8.40 and EUR 47.60.
Booking ahead is wise: on line 635 the ticket reserves a vehicle place on the sailing you choose and is only valid for that date and time. Jadrolinija asks you to reach the port at least 45 minutes before departure, or 60 minutes in the summer season.
From 24 October to the end of 2026 there are three sailings each way every day. Before that, weekdays have a fourth pair of sailings. On 25 and 26 December only two sailings run each way.
You can cancel up to the departure time for a 10% fee, at a Jadrolinija office, by email or in your online account. Swapping to a bigger vehicle at the port is only possible if the ferry has space, so in season Jadrolinija recommends cancelling and buying a new ticket.
Jadrolinija's office is at the ferry port itself (Trajektno pristanište 1) and opens daily from 04:30 to 18:00. In Split the office is on Gat Sv. Duje.
