This page carries no coach timetable and no coach fare, because neither is in a source this site can name. What it can show is the corridor itself: five registered ferry ramps along the road between the two cities, and the one crossing dense enough to use without planning.
Why there is no timetable on this page
Croatian coastal shipping is registered. Agencija za obalni linijski pomorski promet publishes the list of licensed routes each year with operator, vessel class and vehicle capability, and every ferry figure on this site comes from it. Road coaches are not in that register, and there is no equivalent national publication behind them.
So the choice is between printing a schedule recalled from somewhere unnamed, which is what most pages on this query do, and printing nothing. This site prints nothing, checks the operator on the day, and spends the page on the part that is documented. That part turns out to be more useful than a departure time, because it is the part that decides whether the journey is worth breaking.
The corridor is a chain of ferry ramps
Between Split and Dubrovnik the coast and the Pelješac peninsula carry a series of state-run ferry berths, each of them the only scheduled link to an island. They are the reason this journey is worth thinking about as a route with stops rather than as a transfer with a duration.
| Where you board | Line | Crosses to | Vessel | Takes a car | Obligation to run |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Makarska | 638 | Sumartin, on Brač | Car ferry | Yes | State line, public service obligation |
| Drvenik | 632 | Sućuraj, on Hvar | Car ferry | Yes | State line, public service obligation |
| Ploče | 633 | Trpanj, on Pelješac | Car ferry | Yes | State line, public service obligation |
| Orebić (Pelješac) | 634 | Dominče, on Korčula | Car ferry | Yes | State line, public service obligation |
| Orebić (Pelješac) | 614 | Korčula town | Passenger ship | No | State line, public service obligation |
| Prapratno (Pelješac) | 832 | Sobra, on Mljet | Car ferry | Yes | State line, public service obligation |
Every one of them is a state line, which is the useful part: all six carry a public service obligation and are contracted to sail through the winter. That is unusual on this coast, where seventeen of the 68 registered routes carry no such obligation at all. If you are travelling the corridor in April, these crossings are among the few things you can rely on.

sailings a day on line 634 between 3 July and 30 August, on a 20-minute crossing
Line 634, from Orebić on Pelješac across to Korčula, is the only line on that list whose 2026 timetable is in this site’s source bundle, and it is the standout. Twenty minutes; fourteen sailings a day off-season, twenty in shoulder season and twenty-two between 3 July and 30 August. At that frequency it stops being a booking and becomes a bus — and it is the one point on the whole corridor where the road and the island network genuinely meet. The Korčula ferry page covers where it berths, which is not where most people assume.
Buying the corridor as a through journey and losing the islands to a window
Six registered crossings leave the road network between Split and Dubrovnik, five of them state car ferries, and each is the only scheduled way onto somewhere: Brač at Sumartin, Hvar at Sućuraj, Pelješac at Trpanj, Korčula at Dominče, Mljet at Sobra. A through booking passes all of them.
The cost is not money, it is that the southern archipelago becomes scenery. If the corridor is the only time your trip goes south, breaking it at Orebić buys you an island on a crossing that runs twenty-two times a day in high summer. Very few detours anywhere in Croatia are that cheap in time.
The other two ways of making this move are covered elsewhere and neither is a coach. There is no railway between the two cities, and the sea option is a summer product rather than a transport link, set out on the Split to Dubrovnik page. Between roughly October and May the road is not one option among several; it is the option.
