Travelers heading from Split to Vis on Sunday 26 April should update one small but important assumption before they leave for the port. In an official notice published on 24 April, Jadrolinija says the ferry on line 602 from Split to Vis will depart at 19:30 instead of 18:30.
That is only a one-hour shift, but it changes the rhythm of a Sunday arrival on Vis. If you planned a same-evening apartment check-in, a pickup from Vis port, or a mainland-to-port chain built around the older departure time, recheck it now rather than on the Riva.
Before you go: do not rely on an older screenshot or a saved timetable. Open the official 26 April notice again before leaving for the port, then recheck Jadrolinija's live passenger notices.
What changed on the Split to Vis line
The practical change is simple. On 26 April, the ferry from Split to Vis leaves one hour later than the usual evening timing listed in the notice. Jadrolinija's wording is direct: the ship departs Split at 19:30, not 18:30.
Jadrolinija published the schedule change on 24 April for the Split to Vis ferry on Sunday 26 April.
Who should care most
Passengers sleeping on Vis on Sunday night: your island arrival is later than planned, which can matter for apartment hosts, transfers, or dinner bookings.
Travelers connecting from Split Airport: the later sailing may give you a little more room, but you should still check the official Split Airport access page and avoid assuming every airport-to-port transfer will line up cleanly.
Drivers heading into Split port: if you built the day around the older departure, keep HAK open and leave margin rather than treating the extra hour as free slack.
Anyone using Vis as the first step in a wider island plan: a later arrival can soften the rest of the evening even if the delay looks minor on paper.
Why this matters more than it looks
A one-hour ferry move is not a crisis, but it is exactly the kind of small operational change that quietly breaks neat travel plans. On Vis, many Sunday arrivals are not heading to a large hotel with 24-hour staffing. They are going to apartments, private rooms, or village stays where the host expects a tighter window. A later sailing can also reduce your margin if you still need a taxi, a local pickup, or a final drive after landing on the island.
If you are still deciding whether Vis works best as a quick hop or a slower stay, our Vis without a car from Split guide is the more useful planning read. Today's update is narrower: on this specific Sunday, the late-day ferry timing has changed and should be treated as live information.
What to do now
Reopen the official Jadrolinija notice for line 602.
Recheck Jadrolinija's passenger notices feed before you leave for Split port.
If you are coming from the airport, confirm your ground leg on the official Split Airport access page.
If you are driving into Split, keep HAK traffic information open and do not burn your buffer too early.
If your accommodation on Vis expects a tight arrival window, message the host before departure, not after boarding.
