Meet Your Car at Vela Luka Ferry Port – Direct from the Split Jadrolinija Boat

The Vela Luka ferry port is the western gateway to Korčula island, situated at the head of the long, sheltered bay that gives the town its name (Vela Luka means "Big Port" in Croatian). The port handles car ferries from Split (operated by Jadrolinija, 2.5 hours) and the local passenger ferry from Sućuraj on the eastern tip of Hvar island (1 hour 20 minutes), making it the primary arrival point for visitors coming to the western half of Korčula island.

Our Avax meet-and-greet service at Vela Luka Ferry Port positions a car right at the dockside as you step off the ferry, making the transition from boat to road completely seamless. This is particularly valued by guests who have endured a long summer sailing from Split and simply want to get to their accommodation on the island without any waiting or transfers.

The port is integrated into the town's waterfront — just steps from the main square, fish restaurants, and the Cultural Centre where summer concerts take place. The ferry port area has a small café, a newsagent, and a tourist information point. From the port, the island's main road runs east to Blato (7 km), Korčula Town (35 km), and the Dominče ferry terminal connecting to the Pelješac mainland.
