(IMPORTANT NOTE: This ferry is currently discontinued) This ferry journey is part of the coastal ferry journey from Dubrovnik to Rijeka. It used to sail all year round but was recently suspended from October to May. The situation at the present is that during the summer season the ferry from Dubrovnik to Korcula will sail from Dubrovnik at 10 am on Thursdays and Sundays, arriving in Korcula town at 1.30 pm. The ferry then proceeds further to Hvar Island (Stari Grad), Split, and Rijeka. It makes a stop at Sobra on Mljet Island before arriving in Korcula Town. The journey takes 3.5 hours. Tickets are priced at 92 Kuna per person for foot passengers. Detailed pricing and online booking are available at the Jadrolinija website.
Both ferry journeys are pleasant, although they have their advantages and disadvantages:
The ferry Nona Ana is designed so it can hover’ over water which greatly reduces fluid resistance and makes the catamaran much faster. The sailing with the Jadrolinija ferry is slower, but somehow nicer, as you can sit or walk outside on the deck. This is not possible with Nona Ana. The crew on the Jadrolinija ferry also offers drinks and food onboard.
In case of bad weather, you are better off on the larger, steadier, and more consistent ferry. The catamaran Nona Ana is forced to slow down as can no longer hover’. The fact that a catamaran is much lighter than a monohull ship makes it much more likely it will be tossed about in bad weather; it is also forced to ride over waves where a monohull can simply plow through. This rocking and rolling can cause seasickness. In extreme weather, the catamaran cannot sail at all and will be canceled, especially during a strong southern wind (Jugo wind). However, bad weather is very rare in the summer months.
Note: If none of the ferry timetables fits in your itinerary your other option to reach Korcula from Dubrovnik is to travel by bus. See more details in the article How to get from Dubrovnik to Korcula
