Captain let boat behind us dock first then we sat for 20 mins in the harbour waiting while it rained. Boat docked an hour later than was scheduled. Brutal

The boat was moving a lot because of the sea, but apart from that it was okay.

Boarding was a bit long and backpack luggages difficult to get at the end of the trip. Sea transport ok.

I haven't find the information that there is need to check in on the pier, luckily we came 30 minutes before and barely checked in 3 minutes before departure, worth keeping in mind to get much earlier

Very comfortable, children could sleep. Punctual for the subsequent transfer. Processing was very easy and uncomplicated! We booked online, tickets are then available at the counter and the suitcases are weighed on site. Max. 20kg/person.

The pier boarding process was not organized and the number of people far exceeded the pier’s capacity. I suggest using signs to inform group boarding

It got very hot at some point inside and we had to wait so long for people inside before leaving because people took forever to get their luggage outside. Maybe start letting people without luggage leave first?
