A 60-75 minutes ferry journey going to Macau but it depends on the weather and sea conditions. Just last weekend, there is a low pressure area, so our trip  went to 1 and half hour including the embarkation/disembakation. For an economy class, fare is 165hkd for a day trip, 190hkd for a night trip.

We bordered a CotaiJet one way ticket that cost 150HKD but it is actually 165hkd, there are lots of selling discounted ferry ticket going to macau. A round trip discounted ticket cost 320hkd only. We just got the one way ticket because we have a discount card that we will be using for Turbojet naman, Sayang din yun :)
