Ferry vessels are generally categorized into three main types based on size, speed, garage space and onboard amenities. Choosing the right vessel type helps you balance travel time, ticket budget, and comfort during your voyage.

Main ferry vessel categories:

• Conventional ferries: Large, classic passenger ships up to 220 meters long, carrying up to 2,000 passengers and 1,000 vehicles. These are the most budget-friendly and popular option for overnight or long-distance crossings, featuring outdoor promenades, private cabins and full dining facilities

• High-speed ferries & catamarans: Mid-sized vessels around 80 meters long that cut travel time almost in half compared to conventional ships. Carrying up to 2,000 passengers and 200 vehicles, they connect mainlands and islands efficiently with numbered airplane-style, business or VIP seating in fully air-conditioned indoor lounges

• Flying Dolphins (Hydrofoils): Compact, highly agile vessels up to 35 meters long reaching speeds of 33 knots - the fastest option available for short island-hopping routes. They cater exclusively to foot passengers (up to 150 travelers, no vehicles), offering numbered indoor air-conditioned seating without outdoor deck access
