About Super Fast Ferry Ventures

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. Super Fast Ferry Ventures 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 Super Fast Ferry Ventures?

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.

3 stars only because the airconditioning was so cold that almost the whole boat was frozen. It was just too cold on board. Everything else was good/great.

Once we got our ticket, things went smoothly. They loaded us over a 30 minute period. People directing the loading were nice and helpful. The layout surprised us but once we got over the surprise, seating was OK, like tight economy class on an airplane. We were at the back with no windows. The boat did speed along at a good clip. We would take the boat again.

On arrival to the ferry we were told we would have to pay 20myr for each of our bags (despite other customers with bags of equal size not being stopped or charged). Either it is a policy or not, should be enforced for everyone. If there is going to be a charge for baggage, customers should know that ahead of time. Also, the movie that was playing was extremely loud and probably not the most appropriate considering there was young children on board.

Picked out seats at booking but the seats are actually arranged right before boarding. So first come, first serve. Ended up sitting near the toilets with the sun glaring into our seats. Also, the pockets from the seat in front are GRIMMY to the truest sense of the definition. Don't put anything in there.

There is not a whole lot of (good) information at the terminal regarding where to get tickets, where to enter, etc. I think the booking/boarding process can be improved. The ferry trip was fine. It was raining and kind of choppy. For the price and considering the limited options...I really can't complain, it was an acceptable experience

Clean ferry. On-time departure and arrival. Don’t think it is right to charge for infants but at least we had an extra seat. Boarding was 30 minutes prior to departure so no need to arrive 90 minutes ahead of time.

Over all the experience was okay, boat was quick getting to langkawi. Although you couldn’t really get up and walk around and you can’t see out of the windows which sucked. It’s more the boarding procedure/knowing where to be and when that was the issue. We were just issued random tickets with no other information on an email. There is no previous information given on what the address is of the jetty that the ferry is leaving from. We went to 3 different jetty’s before finding the one we needed and were only helped by police officers we asked, there were literally no other staff around. For the record it’s the Bali berlepas departure hall and it’s the large pink building on the bend. Across from the clock tower there is a large gate, they open this 90 minutes before departure and you just go through a series of waiting areas until you are told to get on the boat. Take snacks because there isn’t any!

Clean boat, on time, well organized, very friendly and helpful staff; trip was quite bumpy, so some people got sick - if you get sick easily you might better take the plane! Otherwise its a nice and easy way to travel beetween penang and langkawi. We arrived at the ferry building about 50 mins before departure, that was just right.

The ferry was taking off 1hour later then planned. We waited 2,5 hours in the hall with 100 other people. We had seats in the first row, which is not good. The tides were high and it was super scary to see the waves crashing next to you after a super high tide. Our seat was under an escape route, so water was coming in. We didn't see anyone from the stuff inside to ask, if this is normal. If you get sick easily, never take this ride. At least vomit bags are provided and needed! That's the second star.

Was told to arrive 90 minutes before departure, which is ridiculous seeing it was an 8.30 am departure, I emailed them and they said, ok at least 45 before, the boat is far from super fast, the a/c was freezing, I ended up with a head cold for the rest of my holiday, the safety announcement was so loud you had to put your hands over your ears, nothing to do for the 2.45 min trip which took 3.15 minutes and seas were calm, catch a plane people, if you have to travel on the ferry take a book or something, no tv working .

Arriving 90 minutes before departure is unnecessary, it only takes a moment to check in and then there is so much waiting around in a terminal with nothing to do. When on the ferry, the front section was so hot, no air con, so it was making passengers very uncomfortable. We moved to the back where there were empty seats and air con which was much better, even though the air con was extremely cold. I gave 3 stars because the price was good and the ferry arrived 1 hour ahead of schedule.

Wir sind mit ca. 35 Minuten Verspätung gestartet. Die Fahrt hat dann so lange gedauert wie angesetzt. Allerdings sitzt man dort extrem beengt in flugzeugartigen Reihen. Man sollte sich bewusst sein, dass es ziemlich schaukelt!!! Auf unserer Fahrt mussten sich 5 Leute übergeben und leider nicht immer in eine Tüte. Das hatte zur Folge, dass das ganze Schiff nach Kotze gerochen hat. Das Ausladen des Gepäcks war mehr schlecht als recht organisiert. Nie wieder!!!

Having travelled on ferries in HK, the Philippines, Seattle, Venice, Rio de Janero, Bangkok, India, Thailand down country, NYC, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Vancouver, Portland and some other places I've probably forgotten and, additionally been an officer in the navy, it is not fair for me to pass judgement on yesterday's trip from Penang to Langkawi, as I can't be unbias in my appraisal because in all the previous mentioned trips, I was able to look out and walkaround and not cooped up in a too small seat with no leg room in the lower forward area with the windows blocked out with something like white paint. Nevertheless, I made it thru with conversations with fellow travelers. It would be nice for the snack shop to have some healthy alternatives to sugar, oil and salt and also having an employee brief the boarding proceedure while waiting would be a plus. Cheers

Goed georganiseerd, op tijd vertrokken, zitplaatsen toebedeeld gekregen-> scheelt weer in het zoeken naar een plaats tezamen met de andere toeristen. Bagage snel afgeleverd en terug gekregen. Zee was rustig dus kalme overtocht. Geen zeezieke medepasssagiers, komt de geur ten goede.
