About this route
Hvar and Korčula are the two anchor islands of a Dalmatian yacht week, and moving between them without a boat is surprisingly hard. The catamaran runs seasonally and only a couple of times a day; anything else means going back to Split and out again, which costs the better part of a day. The direct helicopter leg is about 13 minutes over the Pelješac channel.
It is a light-single sector, typically an Airbus H125. Departures and arrivals are surveyed sites on each island or certified yacht decks, so the touchdown points are agreed and approved before pricing rather than assumed.
Both ends are inside Croatia, so no border formalities apply. In practice the leg is used to move guests between charter yachts, to join a vessel that has already repositioned, or to get to a wedding or villa dinner on the other island and back the same evening.
