If you're thinking of 1000 islands, don't go cheap.
The cheap boats are mostly leaky old tubs, running slow and take hours - all whilst you're making like a sardine.
The fast boats cost a lot more, but you're at the furthest island in less than two hours and they cut through the waves, so no sea sickness.

There aren't actually a thousand of them, but there are a lot.
That's just the local name.

Pop to Ancol and see the tourist place at the far end of the marina. All the places advertise there.
