Despite this, there are distinct advantages to opting for a boat transfer:

• Unlike seaplanes, boats can journey at night, alleviating concerns about late arrivals of international flights
• Waiting for the transfer to commence is typically minimal, as the boat is often ready upon your arrival
• Boat transfers are significantly more economical compared to domestic flights or seaplane transfers
• You are only bound by the luggage restrictions of your international flight, eliminating additional baggage concerns
