Private helicopter transfer Split to Vis — 18-minute flight time, charter cost from €1,900, same-day and next-day availability with independent operators.
*Indicative whole-aircraft price, not per seat. Flight time excludes ground handling. Both are confirmed by the independent operator when it quotes your date.
About this route
Vis is the most remote inhabited island in central Dalmatia and the only realistic public link is the Jadrolinija ferry from Split, which takes roughly two hours and twenty minutes and sails to a fixed timetable. Miss the last sailing and the island is unreachable until morning. By helicopter it is about 18 minutes across open water, passing Šolta and Brač on the way.
The sector is flown on light singles such as the Airbus H125, occasionally an H130 for larger groups. Departures are from Split Airport (SPU) general aviation; arrivals are a surveyed site near Vis town or Komiža, or a certified yacht deck in the bay — Vis has no commercial airport, so the landing site is agreed and approved before the quote is issued.
Both ends are domestic, so the only planning constraints are the landing approval and the weather over the channel. For charter guests joining a yacht at Vis or heading to Komiža for the evening, the helicopter converts an overnight logistics problem into a short afternoon hop.

Roughly 18 minutes. Including handling in Split, plan on about an hour door to door.
How much does a Split to Vis helicopter cost?
Indicative pricing starts from about €1,900 one way for the whole aircraft. The approved landing site and positioning affect the final figure.
