Risking The Seajet


We've booked all our ferry tickets for our trip to Greece. We decided to take the Seajet 2 (of which we'd read mixed reviews) from Paros to Tinos, mainly because there's only two boats a day (at least in the advertised schedules) and that one is the first boat. The theory is that if the boat you're going for is cancelled, it's better that it's an early boat than the last boat of the day. Reduces your chance of getting stuck.
Anyway, wife had ordered Greek Island Hopping "The Island Hopper's Bible" from Amazon. It came today. I looked up Seajet 2. Their advice: "Do not book tickets in advance for this boat, it's quite prone to cancellation". I think even with this warning in mind I'd still do what we did, I think my own advice of "always book the earlier boat" takes precedence over theirs.

P.S. We've now been and the crossing was great; on time, comfortable and fast, no complaints really. Seajet 2 is now in a nice pink livery!

We went in June. Seajet 2 was on time, fast and comfortable, I have no complaints about her. Whether that will still be true in October's winds, I don't know...
