Superb service! Initially took a minute to find the desk but then all went well, waited 20 mins for the boat and then headed out, great cost effective way to say over 50% on a private transfer but with the same feel. Highly recommend!

Very warm welcome from the staff, passengers were well taken care of, and off to the pier. Quick trip and drop-off right in front of the hotel.

I thought there would be fewer passengers on the boat. In total there were 14! With luggage! Stuffy air and a mostly closed canopy made the crossings NO SPECIAL EXPERIENCE. We went back on the regular water bus; it took longer, but it was more pleasant.
