Unaccompanied Children:

Children below age 11 will not be accepted onto a ferry unless they are accompanied by a person of at least 18 years of age.

Same Day Flights:

Ferry companies are point to point carriers and we do not take responsibility for delays or connecting flight. We do not recommend that our customers book ferry trips on the same day as their flights. If for any reason same-day ferry trips are unavoidable, please leave as much time as possible.

Please bear in mind that delays do occur time to time. We recommend a pre-scheduled private taxi from pier to airport to lessen the risk of a late arrival.

General Behavior:

Once at the departing pier, passengers should comply with the instructions of the ferry company's servants and agents concerning all matters connected with the service and should comply with any notice exhibited on the vessel. Ferry companies reserve the right to refuse to carry any passenger or goods without assigning reason.

Local ferry companies reserve the right to check contents of any baggage, and to refuse baggage items (though this is highly unlikely). Label your baggage clearly for ease of collecting at your arrival point. Travellers carry valuable or fragile items at their own risk. Such items include money, jewellery, precious metals, silverware, electronic devices, computers, cameras, video equipment, negotiable papers, securities or other valuables, passports and other identification documents, title deeds, artifacts, manuscripts and the like.
