Plan your day around three departures. The ferry leaves Ploče for Trpanj at 10:30, 14:15 and 19:30, and returns from Pelješac at 06:45, 12:00 and 17:15. Weekdays, weekends and holidays all share this pattern until 31 December 2026, and each crossing takes an hour.
Bear in mind that the service begins on the peninsula. People staying on Pelješac can reach the mainland early with the 06:45, but anyone arriving in Ploče must wait for the 10:30. The last boat back from Trpanj leaves at 17:15, which sets the limit for a day trip from the mainland.
You can buy your ticket at the port or in advance; it is valid for the date rather than a particular departure. Jadrolinija runs the route under a state contract, and the timetable appears on both its site and the agency's.

A ferry landing in a freight port, and a village quay
Ploče ferry landing
Ploče is mainly a cargo port, with separate terminals for bulk, general and container freight further south. The Trpanj car ferry has its own landing on the D413 road, apart from the freight areas. The first sailing from here is not until 10:30.
Trpanj, Pelješac
Trpanj is a village on Pelješac, seat of its own municipality, and the ferry lands beside the D415 road. The day's service begins and ends here: the first departure is at 06:45 and the last boat from Ploče arrives in the evening after its 19:30 sailing.
An hour west to Trpanj
From the port of Ploče the ferry sails west to Trpanj on Pelješac without stopping on the way. Sixty minutes, say the timetable and the operator's website alike; neither mentions a distance.
Good to know before line 633
- No early boat from Ploče
The morning ferry starts in Trpanj; the first departure from Ploče is 10:30.
- Flexible ticket
Tickets cover the whole date, not one sailing.
- Taking a car
Vehicles from motorbikes to campers are carried; the driver pays a passenger fare on top.
- Christmas and New Year's Day
The first boat from Trpanj moves to 09:20 on Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year's Day.
- Onward on Pelješac
Jadrolinija points out that from Pelješac you can continue towards Mljet, Korčula or Dubrovnik.
Pelješac's ferry links beyond Trpanj
From Pelješac, Jadrolinija notes, you can carry on towards Mljet, Korčula or Dubrovnik. For Mljet, the car ferry from Prapratno to Sobra leaves from the peninsula's south coast. Up the coast on the Makarska Riviera, the same company runs the short Drvenik – Sućuraj ferry to Hvar.
High summer 2026 (3 July to 30 August) brought four sailings each way, the first from Ploče at 09:30. Since the last day of August the three-sailing pattern has applied again; the timetable for 2027 is still to come.
Towing something? Line 633 prices trailers and motorhomes by length. This autumn a small luggage trailer (3 m at most) costs €11.00, a caravan between five and seven metres €33.30, and anything beyond seven metres €42.80. In summer the same bands cost €16.80, €43.60 and €55.00. The notes to the price list add that coach passengers and drivers of lorries up to ten tonnes travel without a passenger ticket.
