Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Split Tours is a company in Croatia that helps people and their cars travel by water. It's like a bus service, but on the sea! They use big boats called ferries and catamarans to connect different places along the beautiful Croatian coast.

About Split Tours

Split Tours started a long time ago, in 1992. When it began, it was the very first private company in Croatia to offer ferry services. This means it was not run by the government. It helped people move between islands and the mainland.

What is a Ferry Company?

A ferry company uses special boats to carry both people and vehicles across water. These boats often travel on regular routes, like a bus or train. They are super helpful for getting to islands or across wide rivers. Split Tours helps people explore the Croatian coast and its islands.

The Fleet: Boats of Split Tours

Split Tours has several different kinds of boats. One of their main boats is a ferry named Split Prvi. Ferries are large boats that can carry many passengers and even cars or trucks.

They also have faster boats called catamarans. Catamarans have two hulls (the body of the boat) side-by-side, which makes them very stable and quick. Some of their catamarans are named For, Broc, and Komiza.

Where Do They Sail?

These boats travel on important routes along the Croatian coast. They connect the city of Split with popular islands. Some of the places they sail to include Hvar, Vis, and Milna. These routes help both local people and tourists travel easily.
