Ratings and reviews

Finding the payment system terrible. Declines payment cards, says fix errors, but does not indicate where the supposed error is, or says declined use other method. Try enough times with enough cards and it may eventually work. Never have this issue with any other website purchase.

It's a necessary evil. Both my partner and I tried booking reservations through the app and website for an early boat to Horseshoe Bay from the sunshine coast and neither would work. He now has to get up at 3am to make sure he gets a sail as it's never a guarantee if the early sailing will have room.

I live on VI and frequently book travel one way and return another since we live between the two terminals. I can do that on the web (there is a "book another sailing" option before payment) but can't on the app. So I have to use the web when I make that kind of booking (maybe 50% of the time), kind of annoying. If you can add that feature or if there's a setting to enable it, I would be delighted, and would be able to just use the app.
