Split–Hvar in One Day: A Fast and Comfortable Island Getaway by Catamaran

Enjoying the fresh morning atmosphere on Split’s Riva with a cup of coffee and a stunning sea view is the perfect start to a journey toward the island of Hvar. Just settle into a window seat, watch the city slowly fade behind the stern, and sink into the calm rhythm of sailing between lighthouses, islands, the blue Adriatic, and enchanting coastal landscapes.

Advantages of Catamaran Travel

Fast catamarans cut through the waves and shorten travel time while offering air-conditioned lounges and ample seating for all passengers. Unlike other forms of transport, catamarans provide both speed and comfort, making the entire journey quick, easy, and stress-free.

If you're not planning to use a car on the island, catamaran transport is the ideal choice—allowing you to start exploring Hvar immediately upon arrival.
