About Evaristo and Sons Sea

To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Evaristo and Sons Sea offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Evaristo and Sons Sea?

The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.

Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
  • Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
  • Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
  • Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
  • Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Smooth and not too crowded

12go booking is as smooth and convinient although in the port's ticketing booth they are all confused about our booking. They even let us in the Ferry without a seat number. Please make sure with the 3rd party provider that they take note of the online booking because it's just as hassle as waiting in line. Thank you.

The booking was comfortable and easy. The prices are more expensive than doing it by yourself, unfortunately.

The ferry is fine. As a tourist, I'd caution that baggage space is highly limited in the lower seating. Either leave your luggage (out of site) on the upper deck, or sit there (if you can). If it's a backpack, you can have it on your lap.

Overall, my experience was average. I would like to suggest the following improvements to help enhance passenger experience: Clear Check-In Instructions: Please include detailed check-in procedures on the booking confirmation or voucher. This will help guide passengers on where to go and what to do upon arrival. Improved Passenger Guidance: Security personnel at the entrance gate should actively assist and direct passengers. It would also be beneficial if ground staff wore proper uniforms and provided courteous and professional customer service. Proper Signages: Installing visible and sequential signage (e.g., Step 1, Step 2, etc.) would help ensure a smoother and more organized process for all passengers. During our visit, despite having an online confirmed booking, we were redirected to the Evaristo Office located in a separate building. This was inconvenient, especially for those with multiple pieces of luggage. A centralized check-in or one-stop shop would greatly improve the flow and reduce confusion. Additionally: Covered Walkways: There were no proper covered walkways from the entrance gate to the passenger terminal and ferry. This is a concern during inclement weather and should be addressed for passenger comfort and safety. Organized Boarding: Boarding was disorganized, with no queue system in place. Passengers needing extra care—such as pregnant women, children, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities—were not given priority. This should be improved to ensure inclusivity and safety. Condition of the Ferry: The ferry used was outdated and less maintained, with visible insects inside the cabin. Some chairs were not in good condition. Upgrading the units would enhance the experience and attract more local and international tourists to the island. We hope these points will be taken into consideration to improve future passenger experiences.

It would be better if seats are already provided upon purchasing of the tickets and just have it validated ~30 mins prior to the departure.

Having a booking reservation with 12go made tickets exchange a breeze. Just follow the arrive 2 hour or more before the scheduled departure to ensure your tickets. Sometimes there are cancelled ferry rides, and the ferries get instantly booked. But evaristo, the ship Co we used, give high regards to 12go.com reservation. Our return ferry ride 10 am was cancelled, and evaristo emailed us the day before our scheduled ride and gave us the option to either take the 6am or 1pm ride. The line at the port was very long, ferry was fully booked. Luckily evaristo honor 12go reservation and provided slots for us. We were there 2 hours before departure. If we came late, our slot will be released to waiting passengera

Breathed in awful fumes for the entire 90 min ride. We volunteered to pay for an upgrade to the upper deck but was denied even when there were lots of empty seats.
