Caribbeangirl, your comment is concerning to me: in 20 years i’ve seen countless delays, cancellations, and breakdowns— but never encountered a sold-out ferry. Does it happen more some seasons/days/times/carriers than others? The reliability or utility of ferries vs, say, water taxis has been debated here, but i’ve never had to plan for the sold-out contingency.

Any data points will help. Thanks.
