- One suitcase plus one hand bag per person travels free on ferries, speedboats and minivans; there is no strict weight limit. On speedboats bags are stowed at the bow under a tarp, so keep electronics in a dry bag. Tell us when booking if you carry oversized items such as a surfboard or a bike.

For your own changes, cancellation is free up to 48h before departure; between 48h and 24h, 50% is retained; under 24h, tickets are non-refundable. Our team handles every change on WhatsApp.
