Excellent! Very clean boat and friendly crew. Everything was on time, and we really appreciated the fact that we weren’t forced to wear life jackets the whole time like on other speed boats. Made the whole experience so much better! The location of the windows on this particular boat was at eye level, which allowed us to enjoy the spectacular views.

Very easy getting the ferry. When I landed a couple of people told me where to find the mini van. The driver was great and a quick journey. Thank you.
