Chrismas trip to Hongkong, Macau and Hainan Island-Premier Jetfoil to Macau

There are only 2 ways to go to Macau from Hong Kong, Ferry or Helicopter, most people chose ferry. There are 2 ferry terminals in Hong Kong and 2 ferry terminals in Macau. Turbojet company is running most ferries from the terminal on Hong Kong island to Old Macau terminal. Another company, Cotaistrip is running most ferries to Macau TaiPa pier, where Venetian hotel located. Actually, the pier was build by Venetian hotel.

I used Turbojet Premier Jetfoil VIP cabin, however, the cabin only has 4 seats, but we have 5, one person has to buy a separate ticket and sit outside. Actually, I did not do enough research because I found out the Cotaistrip Ferry has 8 seats VIP cabin later

I arrived pier one hour prior to departure, there were not that many people at immigration, so 30 mins later I already at gate. but they did not let us board until the actual departure time.

It was only 1 hour trip and VIP cabin passengers had priority disembarkation, but it was not really a big deal because no one at immigration lane anyway.

The pier was old and places kind of disorganized.  countless buses from different Casinos in the waiting area. After few minutes wait, our hotel bus arrived.

I will talk about the hotel I stayed later,  it was a big mistake.
