You should have no trouble finding a place in Coz for what you are paying in PDC plus the $15 roundtrip ferry fare. It probably won't be waterfront, but you are saving at least 2 hours per day on the ferry commute so you'll still be ahead even after a little walking.
Discomfort? Wait until you get some swells and people start throwing up around you. I also find standing in lines less than comfortable.
As to the CDC, they already know it's a bad idea to have a large group clustered indoors. There is no outdoor seating on those ferries. I wouldn't do that trip once under current conditions.
Edit: the ferries do have outdoor seating unless the seas are rough.
