Post school holidays and before the end of the summer schedule (end of September) so you would be very unlucky to not get a spot, worst case is likely that you would have to wait a day or two. You get a choice from three lines, SNAV, Jadrolinija, and Blue Line.

I've been on ferries in Croatia the last two summers in August. We never booked. Just rock up and by the tickets.

Even the one from Italy to Dubrovnik was that simple.

Done a few crossing round that area. As been said, just turn up, on a bike. Pay the money, and they will get you on. One crossing I was on, there must have been about 50 bike's on board. All lashed up to the side. As all the ring's where taken. Never yet found a ferry crossing that they could not get an extra bike on. Don't worry, you will be all right.

I just took the ferry from Split to Ancona a few days ago on Jadroliniya.

I booked ahead, although I don't think it was necessary--most of the vehicles on the ferry were huge trucks, meaning that there were actually fairly few passengers, and you can always squeeze in another bike on ships this big.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
