Transfers to Split ferry port and marinas
For a lot of our passengers the mainland is just a corridor: the holiday starts on an island or on deck. That makes timing the main job, and the airport-to-water leg the one with the least slack.
Price a ride to the portTiming your connection
Put the boat’s departure, or your check-in time, in the notes when you book.
- Boat leaves
Look up the current timetable with the ferry company, or the check-in time with your charter firm. Both change with the season.
- Margin at the quay
Ports fill up in summer. Follow the operator’s advice on how early to be there, and add a bit in July and August.
- The drive
Split’s port is about 25 km from the airport — roughly half an hour, more on summer Saturdays. Other drive times.
- Getting through the airport
Passport checks for non-Schengen flights, then the baggage belt. If the gap looks thin, a later boat beats a stressful ride.
- Wheels down
The time your connection really depends on.
Summer Saturdays: In summer, Saturday is turnover day for most yacht charters and many holiday rentals. Roads around Split and Trogir are at their worst — leave room for it.

Luggage and drop-off point
Sailing luggage packs better than hard cases, but a crew’s week of supplies, dive gear or kite bags adds up fast. A crew of eight with gear fits best in the Trafic — or ask about a second car.
Give the charter company and, if you have it, the pontoon or berth. Marinas are big; that detail takes the driver to the right jetty instead of the main car park.
Coming back from an island
Tell us which ferry or catamaran you’ll be on. If it’s running behind, reply to your confirmation email and we shift the pickup. At a port, the driver waits 15 minutes past the agreed time at no charge, so keep us posted.
Questions about ferries and marinas
Will we make the 3 p.m. catamaran?
We can’t promise a connection — flights, traffic and summer queues are beyond anyone’s control. What we will do is plan with an honest margin, and tell you straight if a late landing makes the boat unrealistic.
Can the driver carry the bags onto the boat?
The ride ends at the port or marina. The driver unloads at the drop-off point; from there it’s on foot.
The boat isn’t ready until late afternoon.
Ask the charter company whether you can leave luggage at their base. Plenty of crews use the gap for lunch in Trogir or Split. Put your plan in the notes and we’ll suggest a drop-off that fits it.
