There are two prominent Andaman ferry services i.e. Makruzz and Nautika which have been designed to cater your needs based on the traveler preference.
Speed and Efficiency
Nautika is considered the fastest ferry and it takes only 1 hour 30 minutes to reach Havelock Island by Nautika. On the other hand, Makruzz takes 1 hour and 45 minutes in the same way that is fast but a bit slower then Nautika.
Comfort and Amenities
Seating-wise, both services will make you feel comfortable but Makruzz does have Premium, Deluxe, and Royal classes to cater for the different budget. Nautika also has a focus around high-end seats, offering fewer options per class than Makruzz.
Onboard Experience
You will find that the catamarans on Makruzz are equipped with modern amenities, including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and a snack bar. Travelers inside will have sweeping views outside from large windows. Recommended: Nautika offers a solid onboard experience but puts more focus on the efficient delivery of service at sea with less on pizazz.
Customer Service
Nautika rates extremely well in customer support, something we found echoed a lot in reviews — generally, customers love how helpful and resourceful its staff is. It is likely that the mixed reviews Makruzz has been receiving can be attributed to their cleanliness and pricing of onboard snacks.
Conclusion
To keep it simple, Nautika is for the ones who give importance to the time and luxury while Makruzz has a wider range of seats and amenities making it suitable across premium as well as the budget segment. Ultimately, the decision of which to use will depend on an individual’s preference towards speed or comfort and all-around travel experience.

Andaman tour packages are truly value for money. Our driver come guide was really humble. We have visited to all the tourists’ places. Despite booking them last minute they made everything seamless, from picking us up from the airport to drop back to the airport. There customer care supports Ms. Sarita was coordinating with us throughout our trip.
We booked a trip from Andaman emerald holidays and the experience was good and the customer service is great. Ms. Divya did an excellent job planning the itinerary according to our requests. The best part of Andaman tourism is Havelock.
