Good Transfer, reliable, price accordingly

It was a smooth transfer. The ferry has plenty of seats for everyone, they also sell drinks and some snacks. We were drop at fitzroy Island and then pick up on time at the same spot. I thought the ferry is bit pricey, but all ferries have about the same price, so not much to about it. I was there is high season and was lucky to get a spot the night before but I suggested you book ahead of time. Everyone at the boat were super friendly.

Not good

We asked the staff a number or questions and they weren’t able to answer, they were rude. They talk to much on the loud speaker was annoying

Big three level catamaran quite big and stable. The young lady staff was very friendly and helpful when I started experience a bit of motion sickness at one stage.

Overpriced transfer and slow

Other companies run transfers in much smaller boats, more personal, at the same price (or just $2 more). A "45 min transfer" only covers the time in the sea, but you have to be at the boat at 9am and only get to the island at 11am... may be because there's a lot of people and because while getting in you're waiting for every single person to take a picture in front of the boat (which they will later try to sell to you). All in all, would not advise this one if all you want is to go to Fitzroy Island.
