7. Do I need to book the ferry to Hvar in advance?
Ferry and catamaran services between Split and Hvar operate year‑round with more frequent departures in summer. It’s often advisable to book in advance in peak months (especially for catamarans and if travelling late in the day), as services can sell out.
