Split – Hvar hassle-free transfer
How does the hassle-free transfer work after we land in Split?

Your personal driver waits at the airport arrivals exit holding a sign with your name. You are then driven directly to Split port where you board the specific crossing we booked for you. A Debonda host greets you upon arrival on Hvar to bring you to your final accommodation.

What happens to our transfer if our arrival flight is delayed?

We monitor your exact flight number in real time. If you land late, your driver and your ferry crossing are automatically adjusted to match your new schedule. You never have to worry about chasing anyone or missing your boat.

How much luggage are we allowed to bring on the transfer?

Standard holiday luggage is fully included in the service. We kindly ask that you inform us about any exceptionally large items like bicycles or golf bags in your request so we can ensure the vehicle has adequate space.

When is the best time to book our arrival transfer?

We strongly advise booking your transfer as soon as you purchase your flight tickets for the high season. For travel outside of July and August, reaching out a day in advance is usually perfectly fine.

Are the catamaran or ferry tickets included in the total transfer price?

Yes, the public catamaran or car ferry tickets are fully included in our hassle-free transfer package. We purchase the correct tickets in advance and time them perfectly around your landing to eliminate any waiting in ticket lines.

Do you provide child seats for the road transfer segments?

Yes, we provide appropriate safety seats for infants and young children upon request. Please specify the age and weight of your children when booking your transfer so we can prepare the vehicle accordingly.

What happens to our booking if the ferry is cancelled due to bad weather?

Severe weather cancellations are rare but possible. We monitor maritime conditions constantly and will immediately reorganize your travel route or adjust your schedule if public lines are suspended. Our team stays in direct contact with you until you safely reach the island.

What happens to our speedboat transfer if the sea is rough?

Guest safety is our absolute priority. If maritime conditions are not suitable for a comfortable speedboat crossing, we will seamlessly move your reservation to our hassle-free road and catamaran option at no extra cost.

Can we book a private speedboat for our departure from Hvar?

Yes, the private speedboat service operates in both directions. We time your departure from Hvar to ensure you arrive at the Split airport marina with plenty of time to catch your outgoing flight.

How many passengers and suitcases can the speedboat accommodate?

Our premium speedboats comfortably accommodate up to ten passengers along with their luggage. We do not place strict limits on luggage volume because we adapt the vessel size to your needs. For larger groups, we arrange multiple boats to ensure a safe and perfectly comfortable journey.

Can the private speedboat transfer operate late at night?

Yes, we can easily organize late evening and night transfers depending on the season and weather conditions. Please note that a specific night tariff applies to these after-hours services. Our planning desk will include this transparently in your initial quote before you confirm.

Is the speedboat transfer comfortable for small children and elderly guests?

Yes, our modern speedboats are designed for stability and comfort. The journey is generally very smooth during normal summer weather. If you have guests particularly sensitive to the sea, our team will ensure the captain takes the most comfortable route available.

From Dubrovnik
From Dubrovnik3h 30m – 5h

With your car
With your car2h ferry + drive

Split → Stari Grad is easiest for Hvar Town. Drvenik → Sućuraj works from the south, with a longer island drive.

Debonda tip: safe long-stay parking in Hvar Town Arriving by car and staying a few days? Locals trust the Borova car wash parking, the most affordable guarded lot in town. It is open around the clock and only a five minute walk from the old town. Leave the car, forget about it, enjoy the island. Get directions Call parking

Worth knowing before you travel

Book around your flight, not the ferry

Landing, luggage and traffic to Split port all take time. Add a calm buffer.

Hvar Town is not the car ferry port

Car ferries arrive to Stari Grad or Sućuraj. Hvar Town is catamaran or private boat.

Late flights need a plan B

When the last public line is tight, a private speedboat or a night in Split is smarter.

Luggage changes the experience

With children or heavy luggage, door-to-door coordination is usually worth it.

Departures board

Ferry and catamaran overview

Search island crossings by route, date and time. Each line can point guests directly to the operator when they prefer to arrange tickets themselves.

Debonda tip: travelling with a car? Vehicles cross only on the car ferries serving Stari Grad and Sućuraj. Catamarans carry foot passengers only, so plan your route through one of these two ports.

Ferry and catamaran schedules may change due to season, weather or operator updates. Debonda recommendations are designed to help you plan with confidence, but final ticket availability and departure times should always be verified with the operator before travel.
