Planning your makruzz vs Nautika vs Green Ocean vs ITT Majestic
The best ferry is the one that fits your date, route and passenger needs. Compare the actual vessel rather than ranking every sailing by brand. A reachable departure, enough connection time and suitable seats usually matter more than an operator-wide claim of being “best”.

Fleet reference photographs; confirm the vessel and cabin allocated to your dated sailing.
Makruzz: compare the allocated vessel and class
Consider Makruzz when an available sailing fits your island plan and you prefer its enclosed cabin options. Premium, Deluxe and Royal availability depends on the vessel. Check the specific deck and seats before comparing an upgrade.
For family bookings, adjacent available seats may matter more than a class name. Do not assume a fleet seat diagram represents the vessel assigned to your departure.
Nautika: distinguish the main vessel from Pro
Nautika’s main vessel offers Luxury and Royal cabin choices. Nautika Pro is a different vessel, so read the result carefully before applying photographs or cabin expectations from the main catamaran.
Compare the actual arrival time, seating category and total price against the Makruzz or Green Ocean option on the same route. A marketing speed claim does not replace the timetable for a particular sailing.
Green Ocean: vessel choice changes the experience
Green Ocean 1 and Green Ocean 2 should be compared individually. If the open-deck experience associated with Green Ocean 1 is your priority, verify that vessel and ask about access under current conditions. Outdoor access remains subject to crew directions.
Assess the cabin category independently. A deck preference, a preferred seat and a shorter elapsed journey are different criteria; write down which one matters most before deciding.
ITT Majestic: request an assisted quotation
ITT Majestic enquiries go through AWT assistance rather than automatic ticket issuance in this search. Ask for Silver and Majesty quotations, the dated departure and the current seat arrangement.
Compare an actual ITT quote with the online alternatives. Ensure it includes all applicable fees and the relevant cancellation conditions. Do not compare an old advertised base fare with another operator’s all-in total.
A fair price and comfort comparison
Use the same route, date, passenger ages and seat requirement for every quote. Add port and fuel fees where they are separate, then check any valid seasonal addition. Include transfers in your trip budget even if they are outside the ferry fare.
No vessel or cabin can promise that every passenger will avoid seasickness. If that is a concern, discuss suitable precautions with a qualified health professional and tell the booking team about practical seating or assistance needs.
- For mobility needs: verify gangway, steps, deck access and assistance for the actual vessel.
- For children: compare age rules and adjacent seats, not just adult fare.
- For a fixed onward departure: prioritise a realistic arrival buffer.
- For a flexible holiday: compare the island time preserved by each departure.
Questions before you travel
Is Makruzz always better than Nautika?
There is no universal winner. Compare the actual vessel, departure, available seats, total fare and connection buffer for your date.
Should I choose Green Ocean for an open deck?
Verify Green Ocean 1 and the current access conditions if the deck experience matters. Do not assume Green Ocean 2 offers the same arrangement or that weather permits access throughout.
Does a more expensive class arrive sooner?
Cabin classes on the same sailing arrive together. An upgrade changes the offered seating or inclusions, not that vessel’s route or arrival time.
Can I compare ITT Majestic in the automated search?
ITT Majestic requires an assisted enquiry here. Ask AWT for a confirmed quotation, then compare it with supported online results.
