EnglishCotai Water Jet

Cotai Water Jet is a company that operates high-speed ferry services between the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. It is one of the three companies operating high-speed ferry services between the two territories - the others being TurboJET, and New World First Ferry (Macau). The Taipa Temporary Ferry Terminal in Macau is used by this ferry route to enable easy access to The Venetian Macao in Cotai, although it is also chosen by some because of its proximity to Taipa, Cotai and Coloane in comparison to the Terminal Marítimo used by the other two operators on the Macau Peninsula. The Cotai Water Jet is a subsidiary of Las Vegas Sands.
