About this crossing

Straight to Hvar, on your clock.

The private boat transfer from Dubrovnik to Hvar takes three to four hours direct — against eight-plus by land and ferry if every connection holds. Korčula, Mljet or the Pakleni islands slot in as stops if you'd rather turn transit into a tour.

Have a question about your crossing?

The questions we get the day before a Hvar crossing.

1How long does the crossing take?

About two and a half hours direct, sea state depending. Add ~20 min for hotel pick-up and boarding.

2Can we stop on the way?

Yes, the Pakleni islands are right off Hvar and make a perfect swim stop. We can build it in as a short add-on.

3What about luggage?

Standard luggage is included. We confirm space when we send your quote, most groups travel with full suitcases plus carry-on without issue.

4What if the weather turns?

If conditions are not suitable for safe cruising we reschedule or refund the deposit. We monitor the forecast and contact you the day before.

5One-way or return?

Either, one-way or return, the crossing works the same.

6Children & pets on board?

Yes to both. Child life jackets provided; pets travel free. Tell us at booking so we have the right kit.

Still have a question? The crew replies within a few hours.
