Ferry or flight from Split to Vis?

For most travellers on this route the ferry is the better way: it leaves from the port in Split and lands you in Vis itself, carries as much luggage as you can wheel and the car, and turns the journey into part of the holiday. A flight only wins when the crossing is long and time is short. Haqqi Tours arranges flights too, and says honestly which is better for your dates.

Return ferry from Vis to Split

We book the return crossing from Vis to Split just as easily, normally on the same confirmation. Round-trip fares and open returns are cheaper on many operators, so booking both directions together saves money. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.

How much does the ferry from Split to Vis cost?

"How much is the ferry ticket from Split to Vis?" has several answers, because the operators price the slow boat and the fast boat differently, charge separately for vehicles and cabins, and raise fares in high season. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for your travel date and party - foot passengers, car, seats or cabin - within minutes of receiving the form, and tells you which sailing is the best value.

The figure we send is the total: passengers, vehicle, seats or cabin and port fees. If a slower sailing an hour later is cheaper, we say so; on this route the conventional ferry is often the best value for a family.

Cheapest ferry ticket from Split to Vis: how to pay less

A cheap Split to Vis ferry ticket is not luck - it is the right boat on the right day. Here is how we find it:

• Book early for July, August, Easter and holiday weekends, when sailings sell out and fares rise
• Travel on a weekday - Friday and Sunday sailings carry the highest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible; moving by a day frequently changes the fare
• Compare operators - on this route the cheapest company changes with the date
• Price the crossing with and without the car - for two people a rental at the other end is sometimes cheaper
• Book the return with the outbound - open returns and round-trip fares are cheaper on many operators

When you send the form, say if you can move your dates. We compare the sailings around them and send the cheapest Split to Vis ferry first, then the alternatives.

Timetable and season of the Split to Vis ferry

1-2 sailings a day all year, catamaran in summer - that is how frequently the ferry from Split to Vis runs, with more departures in summer and fewer, sometimes weather-dependent, in winter. Allow about 2 hours 20 minutes at sea plus check-in at the port. Timetables change between seasons, so we send the exact departures for the date you travel rather than a list that may be out of date.

Sea conditions matter on this route: strong winds can delay or cancel high-speed boats while the conventional ferries keep sailing. When the forecast is poor we tell you and, if you prefer, book the steadier vessel.

Departure: Split ferry port

Split ferry port is where the Split to Vis ferry begins. We tell you whether tickets are scanned at a gate or on board, whether an ID or passport is required, and how early to arrive for your sailing and vessel. On busy summer days the port is crowded, so the margin matters.

• Foot passengers: at the port 45-60 minutes before departure; vehicles 60-90 minutes
• Keep the e-ticket and the ID or passport used for booking together
• Luggage is carried free within the operator's limits; large bags go on the racks or the car deck
• Cafés, kiosks and waiting halls at Split ferry port; some fast boats board only minutes before sailing

Arrival: Vis ferry port

You step off at Vis ferry port. Taxis and buses meet the boats. If you would rather not think about it, we book a driver to meet the ferry and take you to the door of your hotel.

Arriving late? We note your arrival and, if you have booked a transfer, the driver tracks the ferry, so a delay costs you nothing.

On board the Split to Vis ferry: seats, cabins, cars and luggage

What is the Split to Vis ferry like on board? Car ferry (catamaran about 1.5 h in summer), with airline-style seats, lounges, a café or restaurant and open decks on the larger ships; overnight vessels add cabins with beds and showers. Cars, motorbikes and bicycles travel on the vehicle deck and you go up to the passenger decks for the crossing. Luggage is not weighed; you keep it with you or on the racks. Haqqi Tours explains the seat and cabin options for the exact ship you are booking so you pay for what you will use.

• Cabins with beds and showers on overnight sailings - two to four berths
• Café, bar or restaurant on most vessels; open decks on the conventional ferries
• Vehicles on the car deck - give us the car's length and height when booking
• Children's fares by age; infants generally free

Best time to take the ferry from Split to Vis

For the ferry itself, late spring and early autumn bring calm seas, full timetables and reasonable fares; July and August are the busiest and the most expensive, and the windiest weeks can cancel the fast boats. Winter schedules are thinner on many crossings, so we check before you plan.
