Speed Line · Split
Speed Line runs the five-island loop from the same steps on Trg Republike as Valiant, in boats of 12, with the longest Komiža stop of the classic tours. People book it for the skippers, who reshape the day when the sea or the cave says no.
Speed Line is a Split boat operator, and its route is close to Valiant's: Biševo and the Blue Cave first, then Komiža, the Stupišće missile base, the limestone caves, Stiniva, the Budikovac lagoon, a glance at the Pakleni islands and Hvar town. The differences are in the minutes. Komiža gets 75 minutes, Stiniva only 10, Budikovac about an hour with a cocktail, and Hvar about 2 hours 10 minutes.
Read the ticket line carefully. The listing shows the Blue Cave entry under Includes, then says it is payable in cash on the boat. In practice you pay the crew in euros on the day: EUR 24 per adult from 20 June to 10 September, EUR 18 in spring and from 11 September to 31 October, half for children 6 to 12. One guest from August advised bringing cash for the Blue Cave and the Blue Lagoon, so keep some spare for a drink at Budikovac too.
The cave itself is short: a queue at Mezuporat, a wooden tender through a 1.5 m high entrance, and 5 to 15 minutes inside. When the cave is shut, the listing says the captain tries to find an alternative, and one September guest described the skipper adding a swim stop and pausing for dolphins on the way home. You need an active WhatsApp: the exact meeting time comes the day before.
Speed Line sends the exact meeting time by WhatsApp. If you drive in, the operator suggests parking at Zrinsko Frankopanska 6.
South steps of Trg Republike, then a 75 to 90-minute run out to Biševo.
Queue at Mezuporat, switch to a wooden tender, 5 to 15 minutes inside. Pay the ticket in cash.
75 minutes of free time and a swim in Komiža, then short stops at Stupišće and the limestone caves.
A 10-minute look at Stiniva, then about an hour in the Budikovac lagoon.
A photo stop at the Pakleni islands, lunch and free time in Hvar town, then about an hour back to Split.

About 2 hours 10 minutes, the last stop before the hour-long ride back to Split. Lunch is not included.
