One of two main ferries, they are known as WinJet around town (not Mexico Waterjets) which is why I'm only the fifth review). Basically they are orange and the other guys are yellow. Because they offer basically the same service, leaving from the same place, at the same time, they seem interchangable. They might be, but I rode with WinJet twice and I liked the friendly workers who seemed happy to be working there, the organization, and the looping video (upbeat music, information, ads, Senor Frijole aka Mr. Bean, etc).
We were lucky and got on right away. One time we bought tickets just eight minutes before departure without issue. Another time, we were ten minutes late and managed to board. $9 one way and $15 round trip (recommended) as of 2/19. Buy your tickets directly from orange Winjet booths and make sure you aren't in some timeshare.
I thought the 35 minute ferry ride itself would be part of the fun, but I guess I'm getting old... The February waters were choppy and two days later I still feel like I'm bobbing. read more
