Why Choose Private Transfer?
Save 2-3 Hours
The public ferry route involves waiting for the bus, waiting for the ferry, and the slow crossing. A private boat goes straight there.
Direct Hotel Drop-off
If your hotel has water access (e.g. Amfora, Podstine), the boat can often take you right to it. No dragging suitcases through Hvar town.
Late Arrivals
Late flight arrival after the last ferry? Many operators run transfers into the evening. Give your arrival time in your request.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find my driver at Split Airport?
The transfer operator's driver usually waits in the arrivals hall with a sign showing your name, helps with luggage and drives you to the nearby dock (approx 5-15 min drive depending on traffic and the dock used). The operator confirms the meeting point before you travel.
How long is the boat ride from Split Airport to Hvar?
The boat ride itself takes about 60-70 minutes depending on sea conditions, with views of the islands on the way.
What if my flight is delayed?
Give your flight number when you book. Transfer operators usually track arrivals and move the pickup time if a flight is late. Ask how long they wait and whether a long delay changes the price.
Where is the drop-off in Hvar?
Boats drop off at the main Hvar harbor or, if your hotel has a dock or sea access (like Hotel Amfora or Podstine), often directly at the hotel. Mention your hotel in your request.
Is the boat suitable for children/elderly?
Transfer speedboats carry life jackets for adults and children. Speedboat rides can be bumpy in rough weather, so mention young children, older travellers or back problems in your request so the skipper can plan the boat and the timing.
