I’ve read several descriptions of the boat ride, including comments of water spray from the speed and the possibility of either a rubber dinghy or a ferry.
My question is a bit different. I suffer from motion sickness - I’m ok on a calm bay or lake, and speed is fine. But big swells, or even a gentle sustained bobbing up and down is not good. For those who’ve done it, what should I expect?
Hi again.
Just looking back today and I can see you've had a lot of replies, from folks who have done this trip at different times, in different years, some of which are going back quite a bit.
It's important to point out that the size of the boat will depend on what season you are travelling in.
High season = lots of pilgrims = large boat and vice versa.
Also, the departure times are tide dependent and this will change with the seasons also
So when you know what month you are thinking of travelling, your best bet is to contact the boat company and ask them directly.
La Variante Espiritual del Camino Portugués - Traslatio, es un trayecto en el
Camino de Santiago que siguieron los restos del Apóstol Santiago rumbo a Santiago de Compostela.

This will give you the information that is pertinent to your proposed schedule.
The variante is a lovely walk and I'd highly recommend it. I've some other posts sharing info on the route if you check under my name in the forum
All the best,
Phil
