We are a family of 7 people travelling on the 5th august from ZADAR TO DUGI OTOK.
We wish to take a ferry that can accept our rental car, which for 7 seats is going to be a people carrier Renault Grand Scenic or a Renault Traffic.
Which ferry do we need to take to go to and from Dugi Otok?

We will be in Croatia in Sept – Oct finishing in Zadar, we would very much like to take a Ferry into Slovenia, but have had no luck finding one

You may be able to take ferry from Zadar to Pula (Istria) as this line will be reintroduced in 2017, and then ferry (or bus) to Slovenia.
Here are the ferry maps:

Ferries from Venice to Istria are in operation from April to October.

All current schedules are listed here:

I’m just wondering if the ferries will be running in April as any of the routes I want to take don’t have a schedule for April. These routes are Dubrovnik – Split, Split – Hvar and Hvar – Dubrovnik.

At the moment the only direct ferry route you can take for your itinerary in April is Split to Hvar.

Other routes are not in service for April, they start in May.

If we take the ferry from Dubrovnik to Split  – can we stay overnight on any of the islands and continue our journey by ferry the next day?
How much is the cost?

You have to buy separate tickets for each island.
The prices depend of the season and route. They are all listed on the bottom of ferry route page like here for Hvar to Split – scroll to the bottom

I need your help!

Is it possible to go by ferry from Rijeka to Pag?

All ferries to Pag island are listed here:

Can clients buy the tickets when they get to Orebic or should they prebook?

Once you arrive in Orebic you can buy your tickets there. For car ferries there is no advance reservation available.

Can you please tell me if the car ferry still operates from Dubrovnik to Korcula?

Unfortunately not

Just foot passenger ferries are sailing between Dubrovnik and Korcula.

– Catamaran with bike
The Question: is it possible in the late season to take bikes on the catamaran ferryboat from Jadrolinija?
Jadrolinia is the only ferryboat company to Vela Luka in this time I see !?

I suggest you to take Split – Vela Luka ferry route 604 run by Jadrolinija where vehicles are permitted on board of the ferry.

Is there a port that is driving distance from Rovinj that we could go to in order to catch a ferry to Dubrovnik?

Unfortunately not –  It used to be a ferry from Rijeka to Dubrovnik which is discontinued

Has anyone on here travelled with their dog on the fast catamaran ferry from Split to Hvar and from Hvar to Dubrovnik? Also Mljet to Dubrovnik? We would like to go to Hvar and further to Mljet and Dubrovnik in May with my small dog. Are dogs allowed on catamaran ferries?

If you choose to travel with Jadrolinija this is what they say about transporting dogs on fast catamaran ferries:

Pets may be transported exclusively if they meet the technical requirements on the ship, i.e. can travel in separated boxes for an additional fee (at the same price as transport of passengers, depending on the route), with mandatory prior reservation, i.e. purchase of the travel ticket. Pets may not be in indoor passenger areas (with the exception of guide dogs), and owners take the full risk for travel and responsibility for any possible damages. Dogs must be fitted with muzzles (with the exception of guide dogs) and be on a leash, cats in boxes, and birds in cages.

As far as I know, there are just two or three fast ferries owned by Jadrolinija that are fitted with cages so it is unlikely that these particular ferries will be serving on the route you need.

UPDATE:

For other ferry companies (Krilo, TP Line, GV Line, AdriaticExpress, etc) the best option is to contact them directly well in advance and see what they say about transporting dog for your particular route and date of travel.

Obviously, if you are traveling out of season, when catamarans are not so busy, there will be more space onboard for animals. For high season (July & August) make sure you book your place for you and your dog well in advance.

I would suggest you choose a car ferry for your travel, whenever possible, as on car ferries dogs and other animals are allowed (subject to specific restrictions).
