Easy online booking and check-in at the harbor. Boarding was somewhat chaotic but the crew did their best to support. Seats were narrow with not much legroom, not comfy for taller people. Unfortunately the ride took more than one hour longer than planned, although departure was almost on time.

The people were crowded in the sun and everything was a mess. The boat is meant to have AC, bit when we came, the AC isn't working. Due to this, we had to sit on top and beroasted under the sun for two hours. Staff are kind, but the whole system needs more arrangements.

Took an hour longer than stated. No AC or airflow - extremely hot and uncomfortable journey. Would avoid using this company again. Had a much better experience with Tanis.
