Car ferry from Orebic to Korcula – How early to arrive and available dates

Maria, yes, there are two ferries, one for cars and passengers and another one for passengers only. The one that comes in front of Hotel Korcula is a foot passenger only. You can find all details here: https://www.croatiaferries.com/orebic-korcula-ferry.htm

Is this ferry line still available ? I wasn’t able to find any information about it.

yes it is, here : https://www.croatiaferries.com/orebic-domince-ferry.htm

Hi Paul, welcome to our forum 🙂

re: Is it necessary to be there an hour or two earlier than departure for the cars to board? Or only 30 min early since there seems to be a ferry every hour from Orebic to Korcula?

No, it is not necessary to come so early for the embarkation on the ferry by car, especially not in May. You can come a few minutes before, it just depends on how many cars are already in the waiting line. This is a local commuter ferry, so people cross to/from Orebic to Korcula often, it is a very relaxing atmosphere. If you miss the particular departure, you can have a drink, pizza, or ice cream in Orebic, just across the ferry dock, and wait for the next crossing.

re: Is it better to just go on foot since we will not be staying the night there?

Just going on foot may be a good option. That way you will avoid looking for parking in Korcula Town (leave your car in a parking place in Orebic)  and the foot passenger ferry arrives in a more convenient location for sightseeing than the car ferry.

Matthias,

Yes, bookings for these dates will become available at a later time, usually about 3 months in advance, depending on the season.

Just leave it for a few months, and check again later

Also, this ferry crossing is first-come, first-served, so no need to buy your ticket in advance if you don’t wish to.

You can buy your ticket once you arrive at the port.

Place your car in the waiting line and go to buy a ticket from the Jadrolinija kiosk, which is about  1-minute walk.

I hope this helps
