Living on Hvar for ten years, I have experienced my fair share of frustrations with the buying of ferry tickets. There are two major problems/inconveniences with buying ferry tickets for travel within Croatia’s waters:
1. Tickets cannot be bought online.
2. They are often sold out in peak season, and in some cases, not available at all on the day of travel (as happened with the catamaran to Hvar Town this summer).
What if there was a solution? A simple online booking process, with reservations at least 24 hours in advance, where tickets could then be collected either before the boat departure or delivered to your accommodation?
We have been approached by a local agency, which is now able to offer the service, for a fee, and there are four options to choose from:
1. Buy your ticket online and collect your ticket close to the boat 20 minutes before departure.
2. Buy your ticket online and have it delivered to your accommodation (old town area only) on the evening before your departure.
3. Buy your Hvar ticket online and copy of Hvar: An Insider’s Guide and have them delivered to your accommodation (old town area only) on the evening before your departure.
4. Buy your ticket online and book your luggage transfer from your accommodation to the boat.
Simple, common sense options to take the stress out of your holiday and remove the need to waste time queueing for tickets.
We are currently incorporating the booking engine into the website, and plan to offer the service from May. We will publish a full list of prices and destinations for both low and high season for all these services shortly.
