Here are some useful tips to make your ferry journey smooth and enjoyable:
Arrive Early for Outdoor Seating - There is an option to sit outside, but not all departures offer this. The number of outdoor seats is limited, so arrive early if you want to secure one.
Know Your Departure Point in Split - The ferry to Bol departs from Gat 6 or 7 at the first pier near the Riva promenade (Obala Lazareta). It’s a short walk from the city center and easy to find.
Book Tickets in Advance - During the high season (June–August), ferries can get fully booked. Buying your tickets online in advance guarantees you a spot and saves you the hassle of waiting in line.
Be Prepared for Weather Conditions - If you plan to sit outside, bring sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat in summer, as there is limited shade. If traveling in cooler months, a light jacket might be useful due to sea winds.
Getting from Bol to Zlatni Rat Beach - Once you arrive in Bol, you have three main options to get to Zlatni Rat Beach:
Walk (recommended) – The scenic walk takes about 20-25 minutes along a lovely seaside promenade.
Mini train – A small tourist train operates between the port and the beach.
Taxi boat – A short but beautiful ride along the coast; recommended for the way back to enjoy a different perspective.
Bring Cash for Small Purchases - Some vendors in Bol, especially near the beach, may not accept cards, so it's good to have some cash (EUR) for small purchases like drinks or souvenirs.
Enjoy the Stunning Views - The ferry ride offers amazing views of the Adriatic, nearby islands, and Brač’s coastline. If you sit outside, be ready for some great photo opportunities!
Check the Return Schedule - Make sure to check the ferry timetable in advance, as schedules can vary depending on the season.
Enjoy your trip from Split to Bol and have an amazing time at Zlatni Rat Beach!
