The Macau jet foils !
only 2 places you get on them ... at Shun Tak centre on HK side or China City in TST - Kowloon side

I took the new ferries that are owned by the venetian Macau.  They were pretty good.  Newer than the jet foils, I think they are the same price, but not 100% sure.  They were called kota I believe.

You took the ferries called the Cotai Jet.  They only go from Shun Tak Terminal, Central to Macau.  There is no cotaijet service from TST.  

Their official prices are the same as the Turbo Jet.  If you are adventurous and get to the Shun Tak Terminal during normal office working hours, go to one of those local travel agencies there to buy your ferry ticket.  Buying any ferry ticket at those travel agencies will be cheaper than the official prices, and the Cotaijet tickets will be even more cheaper than the Turbojet tickets.

Last time I save almost $20 on a one-way ticket to Macau.  Next time I will buy a roundtrip ticket and save money on the return trip too.  By time I was leaving Macau, all the travel agencies in macau had closed so I had to pay the official rates to return.

It's under 1 hour ferry ride is the tides/currents are right; it took an hour and half last time because the waters were rough.


So to confirm, Cotai Jet leaves from Central? I took the Cotai Jet from Sheung Wan

All ferries going to Macau are from either Shun Tak Centre in Sheung Wan or China Ferry Terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The turbojets are catamarans and take about 1hr in good weather.  
The jetfoils are hydrofoils, and are slightly faster (about 5 min if I recall).

DA - I presume you mean jeftfoils to get to Macau in less than 1 hour right

Want a quicker way to Macau is by helicopter but will cause a small hole in your pocket

how much is the helicopter ride? haha  i visited maccau on my last trip and almost got sea sick from the cotai jet since it was the only available ferry to get back to hk after 12am.  then i had to taxi back to tst from central.. which was expensive.  i made like 30k at the poker tables, so if the copter ride is under 2k i'll do it next time haha.
