Most tourists landing at Split Airport (SPU) make the same mistake: they think they are "almost there" once they grab their luggage. In reality, the traditional journey to Brač (Sutivan, Milna, or Supetar) is just beginning—and it can be a long, hot one.
Today, we’re breaking down the math of your arrival and showing you why a private water taxi isn't just a luxury—it’s the smartest travel hack for 2026.
The "Ferry Struggle" (The Standard Route)
If you choose the public ferry, here is what your next few hours look like:
The Shuttle: A 30–45 minute bus or taxi ride through Split’s heavy summer traffic to reach the port.
The Queue: Standing in line (often in 30°C+ heat) to buy tickets and wait for the next departure.
The Sail: A 50-minute ferry ride to Supetar.
The Final Leg: Finding another taxi in Supetar to finally get to your villa in Milna or Sutivan.
Total Time: 3.5 to 4.5 hours.
Stress Level: High.
The "Colnago Experience" (Our Route)
Now, imagine this instead:
The Pickup: You walk 5 minutes from the airport terminal to the Resnik pier.
The Departure: Our crew meets you, takes your luggage, and hands you a chilled bottle of water.
The Ride: You’re on our Colnago 34 or a premium Scanner Envy, cutting through the waves. No traffic, no crowds—just the blue Adriatic and the wind in your hair.
The Arrival: We dock directly at the waterfront of Sutivan, Milna, or even your villa’s private pier in just 45–50 minutes.
Total Time: Under 1 hour.
Stress Level: Zero. You’re already on vacation.
Why Choose a Private Transfer from the Airport?
Save 3+ Hours: Why waste half of your first day in a ferry port when you could already be in the pool?
Ultimate Comfort: Our boats are designed for stability. Even with a bit of "Maestral" wind, the Colnago 34 ensures a smooth, dry, and fast ride.
Door-to-Door Service: We don't just take you to the island; we take you to your destination on the island.
Safety & Privacy: No crowded decks. Just you, your family, and a professional skipper.
The Verdict
Your time is the most valuable thing you have on vacation. While the ferry is a classic experience, it shouldn't be your "welcome" to Croatia. Start your holiday with style, speed, and the best views of the Dalmatian coast.
