Many tourists prefer to use the private transfer services of two companies, Sea Coach Express and Sea Bird Express, because the other ferry can be very crowded and the probability of pickpocketing is very high. While the boats of Sea Coach Express depart from Aberdeen Bridge, the boats of Sea Bird Express depart from Murray Town.
