While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.
Ferry trips offered by Krilo can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Krilo Popular Destinations
The most popular shipping routes covered by Krilo include but are not limited to:
High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.
Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons
Pros of Ferry Travel
Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!
Cons of Ferry Travel
The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.
I booked a trip to pomena but due to high winds we were dropped elsewhere. Comfortable seats. Lack of information. Our trip was cut short due to high winds and we were dropped at another port. We had to make our way to pomena by taxi which cost an additional €50. There was no advance notice or even during our journey that this may be the case.

All good on the Ferry - all went wrong arriving in Split. The ferry itself was great and was nice to call in to a few different islands on the way. When the ferry arrived in Split, we were set upon by Taxi reps and stupidly, we agreed to a taxi. We asked how much the fare would be and he replied it was "metered" but after an extended route to arrive at the destination he asked for €131 - based on €28 per mile. Utter scam basically as we were never shown the meter and the driver had deliberately exploited tired people getting off the ferry with a large case.

Ferry arrived to Dubrovnik with the delay of 25 minutes. Given total 120 minutes of the trip it’s just 20% more of a travel time. Definitely not reliable means of transportation if you want to be on time at the airport. To be clear - the weather conditions were very good.

Efficient mode of transport. The ferry ride was enjoyable and comfortable. The payment process was easy and efficient. Unfortunately the ferry arrived late on Korcula Island and there is not much a of a view during the trip. We understand that it is probably impossible to keep the windows clean but a pity foreigners like ourselves could not enjoy the view whilst travelling.

The ferry was perfect and timely! Cleanliness and punctuality. It’s not the ferry, but the infrastructure - as a tourist, it was mildly stressful when I couldn’t find my pier. There is no clear signage on where to board and I ran around trying to find the information counter. Proper wayfinders would be much better. You should separate the point for ‘staff and signage’ because they are different things.

I was charged twice for the ticket. Customerservice are unable to refound. Poor service. Charged twice for my ticket. Customservice unable to make a refund! Poor service. Will never recommend getbyferry to others! Bad ending to a nice holiday. Will probably choose other destinations than Croatia, for my next holiday.

extortionate price for bikes. Paying full adult price for a bike is absolutely awful. Couldnt see this information anywhere online and was horrified when I found out as the ferry docked. Having already bought a ticket for myself in advance I had to buy another full price one for my bike. This meant I paid 90 euros for a 35minute return journey from Korcula to Mljet. This was a massive chunk of my holiday budget and meant I couldn't visit a 2nd island as planned.

Very disappointed. I want to be able to be outside on board the ship. To sit indoor very boring. Nothing, better to take the bus. Cheaper and more beautiful. The boat extremely boring, trapped inside the boat, no fresh air.

Boat was fast and efficient. seats were ok and clean Staff was very friendly and helpful with the suitcases Catamaran is in principle a great way to travel, but the onboarding could be improved in terms of waiting conditions. Waited outside in the hot sun in the queue for a long time. I started feeling light headed, as there was no shade available. It makes no sense to tell people to show up early and then not provide them at least with some shade. Bathroom on the boat was not clean. The kiosk was poorly stocked and the person running it not very friendly.

Fast, easy & comfortable way from Hvar to Split, Croatia. We loved the ease of booking the ferry, prompt arrival of tickets, and comfortable ride on the ferry. The ferry you are ticketed for can have a different name than on your ticket but arrive and depart at the same time, so ask questions to make sure you don't miss it.

Comfortable and relaxing journey, friendly staff, would recommend. A lot more enjoyable than a bus if you’re willing to pay double the price. The staff were friendly and helpful. There is a bar on board serving canned drinks and snacks. The seats are comfortable and the leg room is plenty. Note there is no plug sockets on board - at least none by the seats that I could find. Toilet floor was quite wet.

You charged me twice ! When I booked online your website said there was a problem so try again. So I did and then you took two payments instead of one. So you owe me a refund on the second payment which was entirely your fault. I don’t appreciate being ripped off.
