No outdoor deck? No problem. Ferries on the Dubrovnik to Split route are typically passenger-only catamarans without open decks — but don’t worry. Large panoramic windows let you enjoy gorgeous views from the comfort of your seat.
Not all catamarans are the same. No worries, most fast ferries are clean, air-conditioned, and comfortable. Some may be newer or more spacious depending on the operator, but all offer a smooth ride.
There is the good side of the catamaran — and the better one. On your journey from Dubrovnik to Split, pick a left-side window seat (port side) for the best views. That also means you should arrive early to get the seat you want. However, you won’t be disappointed if you sit on the right side either.
Seasickness? Forget about it. But not completely. The Adriatic is usually calm, and catamarans are stable. However, on windy days, light motion is possible — seasickness tablets aren’t a bad idea if you're sensitive.
Don’t wait too long to book. During high season (June–September), ferries sell out fast (but like, reaaally fast). It’s best to book online a few days in advance to avoid surprises.
Kiosk vs. online? Online wins. Buying tickets online means less stress, no waiting in line, and guaranteed seats.
Fast ferries are usually direct. Unlike some coastal lines, this route typically does not stop at islands along the way. It’s a straight shot up the coast — quick and scenic.
