Korčula Water Taxi FAQ
Answers to the questions guests ask us most about the Korčula water taxi, private speedboat transfers and the yacht tender service.
Is the water taxi price per person?
No. Water taxi prices are per boat, for a private return transfer for your whole group of up to six passengers. Badija, for example, is €60 for the boat, whether you are two or six.
How much does a private transfer to Dubrovnik, Hvar or Split cost?
Longer transfers are priced individually, depending on the route, the boat, the number of passengers and the date. Send a request or a WhatsApp message and we reply with a personal offer.
Can I book Badija, Vrnik or Stupe online?
Yes. Badija, Vrnik and Stupe can be booked online right here, on each island's page, with a calendar of free dates. If you prefer, send us a request or a WhatsApp message instead.
Is there a one-way price?
Yes, for Lumbarda, Orebić / Kućište and Viganj: one way costs half the return price, for example €40 to Lumbarda instead of €80. Badija, Vrnik and Stupe are return rides only.
Where does the water taxi leave from in Korčula?
From the waterfront in Korčula's east harbour, in front of the Korčula Boating stand.
How do I pay?
Payment is flexible and agreed when you book: cash, card or a payment link.
Can I cancel my ride?
Yes, free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. If we cancel because of the weather, it is always free.
How far ahead should I book in season?
You can book right up to departure, as long as a boat is free.
Is my booking confirmed when I send the form?
Not yet. The form and WhatsApp messages are requests. We check availability and confirm your ride, and the price for longer transfers, personally.
When do you operate?
The local water taxi runs daily from 08:00 to 19:00, all year round; rides outside these hours can be arranged on request. Departure times for longer transfers are agreed individually.
How many passengers fit in one boat?
The water taxi takes up to six passengers. For longer transfers the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5 BR takes up to eight and the Highfield Patrol 700 up to six. For a larger group, tell us how many you are and we tell you what is possible.
Which boats do you use?
Local water taxi rides use our Lolivul 5.9 with a Yamaha 100 HP engine. Longer transfers use the Jeanneau Cap Camarat 7.5 BR (Honda 250 HP) or the Highfield Patrol 700 (Honda 200 HP).
How long does the crossing take?
In a calm sea: Badija 8–10 minutes, Vrnik 10–15, Stupe 15–20, Mljet (Pomena) 40–50 minutes, Hvar 1 h 30 min – 2 h, Dubrovnik 2 h 15 min – 3 h. Every route page shows its own time. These are estimates: the actual time depends on sea and weather conditions, and your skipper may adjust the route for comfort and safety.
Can I bring luggage?
Yes. The Cap Camarat has room for luggage, including storage compartments. For longer transfers please tell us how many bags you have when you send the request, so we can make sure the boat has room for your group and your luggage.
Can you pick us up somewhere other than Korčula Town?
Yes. Transfers can also run the other way, for example from Dubrovnik to Korčula, or between other places. Choose both ends in the form and we will send an offer.
Do you go to Split or Dubrovnik airport?
We go to Split Airport. We do not go to Dubrovnik Airport by boat, but we can arrange the road part of the transfer.
Can children and babies come on board?
Yes. The boats carry all legally required safety equipment, including life jackets. Travelling with a baby? Ask us before you book.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes, pets are welcome if you tell us in advance.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Every departure depends on the weather. If conditions are not safe, we contact you to move the ride to another time or cancel it free of charge.
Do you run a tender service for yachts at anchor?
Yes. We run yacht-to-shore transfers, guest and crew runs, restaurant transfers and supply deliveries around Korčula Town, Luka Uš, Badija Bay, Lumbarda and Žrnovska Banja. Call or message us when you need the tender.
Is Korčula Water Taxi part of Korčula Boating?
Yes. Korčula Water Taxi is run by Korčula Boating (Memula d.o.o.), the boat company in Korčula Town. Boat trips are on korculaboattrips.com and boat rental on korculaboating.com.
