If you're directed to sit somewhere on a smaller boat, please respect the skipper.. remove your pack, put on your lifejacket and just enjoy whatever views you have.

I had assumed we would be on a small boat like a big dingy as I'd read in the forum you can often get wet so have your rain gear handy. I was very surprised to have a shiny new looking ferry picking us up.
I was on the boat early in the morning and was glad I wore lots of layers of clothing as well as my rain jacket. I did not get wet but the speed the boat travels does create a wind chill.
Amare did use the two small boats for our trip last week. There was a problem with the other company and they cancelled the 7 am trip and put them all on the big ferry a little later. The ferry took two hours to arrive and Amare only took 45 mins. We also had stops at the barges to describe the mussel harvesting and a description of each of the crosses.
If the outdoor market is open when you get off the boat definitely try the churros.
There’s a bathroom in the inside/tented portion almost at the end on the left.
Tempting to catch a boat, but likely will walk from Vilanova to Padron. By this stage of the CP I suspect we'll be getting that 'it's nearly over' feel...and will want to extend our time on camino as much as possible. That said...would be a terrific experience to boat into Padron!
