Vennlig personale. Effektiv drift. Personalet er snille og hjelpsomme mot de som er sjøsyke. Tjenesten kan operere i ganske røft vær, uten noe oppstyr.

Skipperen og mannskapet på Foveau Express var fantastiske. De var så rolige og fattet på en tøff tur over sundet. Vi følte oss i trygge hender hele tiden.
