Catamaran lines to Brac island
Catamaran tickets can only be purchased on the day of travel, so expect long queues during the summer and purchase early since there is only one trip per day and it quickly gets sold out. If the weather is exceptionally bad on a certain day, then the catamarans don't go at all.
Usually you can also take your dog on a catamaran, but be aware that during the trip the dogs are kept in the box, on the deck (outside), so if you're uncomfortable with this, take the ferry.
The catamarans usually leave Split from dock next to the Diocletian's palace but this can change so make an inquiry while purchasing the ticket.

Tips for ticket purchasing in port of Split
Tickets can be purchased at the port of Split, either at the Jadrolinija (ferry & catamaran operator) main building (recommended especially during the summer since it has air-conditioning and queues clear off more quickly) or at the ticket kiosks located along the coastal line of the Split port.
The white hand marks the first ticket kiosk location, while the red hand marks Jadrolinija main building location, the mouse cursor points to the place where catamarans usually start their trip.
To reach Jadrolinija main building (near where the ferries usually start their trip) just follow the signs for ferry port, the ticket kiosks are located along the way, first is right next to the Diocletian's palace and near to where the catamarans usually start their trip.
If you travel by car, you should go to the main building, since you can leave the car in the queue for Supetar (ask the guy at the ramp where to leave the car - you must pass the ramp before entering the queue) and then leave the car to purchase the tickets.
If you want to go with catamaran, then the first ticket kiosk is usually the best place to purchase tickets. Unfortunately, during the summer there can be long queues, and it can be more tiring to wait under the hot sun then to go to the main building, buy the ticket in air-conditioned area and get back to the catamaran.
It is 15 minutes walk to the main building and back to the first kiosk location plus time you'll need to purchase the ticket. This can be important if you want to browse the Diocletian's palace or if you are travelling with catamaran.
Tips overview:
- Jadrolinija main building is air-conditioned, consider purchasing your ticket there
- If you travel by car to Supetar, purchase the ticket at the main building, upon leaving your car in queue
- Tickets for catamarans can be purchased only on the day of departure
- Purchase as early as possible your catamaran ticket - catamaran can be sold out for the day
- If the weather is exceptionally bad, catamarans don't travel, only ferries
- Check for the exact place where the catamarans start when purchasing tickets
