From central and southern Italy, there are year-round car ferries from Split to Ancona plus seasonal car ferries from Ancona to Zadar and Bari to Dubrovnik.
In July and August there are passenger ferries from Pesaro and Cesenatico to Rovinj, Mali Losinj, Pula, Rab and Novalja. See the schedule and book here.
From Venice to Croatia the catamarans begin with a connection to Rovinj and Porec on 29 April and end the 4 October. For some routes, the season is even shorter. Pula begins on 19 June and ends early September. Umag begins on 25 June and ends in late August.
Operated by Venezia Lines, the height of the season is July and August where you will find the most frequent ferries and the highest prices. Note that the schedules are arranged to make day trips from Croatia to Venice, not vice-versa. No matter when you go, I strongly advise that you buy your tickets online in advance.
