"New" Marinsa ferries
Remember when they painted the Magana ferries those bright tropical colors, before they went out of business? Well, they've gone thru more changes & now returned to the isle as the new Marinsa ferries. The renovations included more efficient engines and adding seats on the upper deck.
Marinsa published a graphic announcing online ticket sales. They were also in the news in recent months for purchasing 51% of the stock in the Maritima Isla Mujeres company, who operate the vehicle-cargo ferry.
Photo #2 & #3 posted by TVIM last month & yesterday , #4 from IM al Dia. Here's a LINK to the Marinsa ticket site.
