Why This Transfer requires a Professional

Split Ferry Port is the busiest passenger port in Croatia. In July and August, the traffic leading to the harbor creates a bottleneck. Missing your ferry often means waiting hours for the next one or losing a night of your vacation.

Speed Strategy: The A1 Highway 🛣️

Public buses often take the coastal road or make multiple stops, turning this trip into a 3.5-hour ordeal.

• Our Approach: We take the A1 Highway immediately. It is the fastest, safest, and most predictable route. Our goal is to get you from Zadar to the Split dock in under 2 hours.

Precision Drop-Off (We know the Piers) ⚓

The Port of Split is massive and chaotic. Being dropped "at the port" is not enough.

• Catamarans (Hvar/Dubrovnik): If you are taking the Krilo or Jadrolinija fast catamaran, we drive you to Gat Sv. Petra.
• Car Ferries (Brač/Vis): If you are taking the large ferry, we drive you to Gat Sv. Duje.
• Benefit: We save you from dragging luggage 500 meters through the crowds.

Traffic Management 🚦

Entering Split in high season requires local knowledge.

• Real-Time Monitoring: We use live traffic apps. If the main approach is blocked, our drivers know the city shortcuts to bypass the jam and get you to the ship on time.

Connecting Zadar to the Islands

We are your reliable link between your flight and your final island destination. This transfer is optimized for guests traveling to:

• Hvar Town: (Via fast catamaran)
• Brač (Supetar & Bol): (Via ferry or catamaran)
• Vis, Šolta & Korčula: (Via direct lines)

Group Tip: For families or groups of 4-8 people, a private transfer is often more cost-effective per person than buying bus tickets and paying for taxis at both ends, while being significantly faster.

Local Insider Tips for a Smooth Connection 💡

• The "Safe Buffer": Always plan to arrive at the port 60 minutes before departure. Traffic in Split is unpredictable. It is better to have a coffee by the sea than to stress in the car.
• Online Tickets are Mandatory: Do not plan to buy tickets at the kiosk in Split. The lines are huge. Buy them in advance via the Jadrolinija or Krilo websites so you can head straight to the boarding line.
• Zadar Airport vs. Split Port: Remember, your flight lands in Zadar, but your boat leaves from Split (158 km away). Do not underestimate this distance. Book your transfer as soon as you have your flight details.
