The Engine is very loud. Used a different boat which was much lesser loud. The 12Go.asia web is not usable when you wat to pay by Apple Pay…the paying process is staying in an endless loop. I had to book via browser.

Very well organized, easy to get on and off. luggage is stored in front and inside of the ferry by the team. You get it back when disembarking. We were lucky, very smooth ride that day with almost no waves and everything on time
