Here is the translation into English: "When we first set off, everyone was still enjoying the boat ride. But once out at sea, the waves were high, causing us to constantly slam down hard on the water. As a result, several passengers became quite seasick."

It was a good ride but the people at pier were not very helpful, just to let you know, you have to go and get checked in before you get to the ferry so arrive on time.

The speed boat was very bouncy and sometimes uncomfortable for my wife. A catamaran would have been better.

The timings & pick up were good. But I had booked an AC ferry. The ferry offered was non AC.
