FAQ – Split – Vis Ferry
Both ferry routes 602 and 9602 are state lines, meaning that the state partly finances them, reason for this is to ensure that the people living on Island Vis have an affordable option to get to the mainland year around.
Basically neither Split port nor Vis port has a car queuing system, so normally cars, trucks, buses, would be loaded according to when they arrived at the port, but there is an exception, on Sat and Sun during July and August cars are loaded first on the first two car ferry departures to and from Vis.
Yes but only on the car ferry departures, for the bike you need to buy a ticket which costs the same as a foot passenger ticket.
You can bring your dog, if you follow the terms of Jadrolinija.
The Island buses between Vis and Komiza drive according to ferry and catamaran arrivals and departures.
Both are great options, you should take car ferry, if you like to sit outside and enjoy the views, and you should take the catamaran If you want the fastest trip.

It often happens that people travelling by, car or bus get a bit confused about how to calculate the price, so here are a few examples
Car with passengers
If you are e.g. 3 adults and a regular car going on the ferry, the price calculations for one-way tickets are the following, car (Less than 5 meters in length, and two meters in height) = 47,25 € + 3 adults (3 * 8,23 €) = 24,69 €, so in total, your price will be 71,94 €. As there is no discount for return tickets the round trip price will be 143,87 € or roughly 47,91 € per person.
Bus with passengers
For a bus the way of calculating is different, if you have a bus with space for 30 people and 22 passengers, the price is 225,10 €, which includes the bus and the passengers!
