I would not want to risk standing up, it's not that short a trip after all.
Premium jetfoils can be Boeing 929 or Kvaerner Foilcats. Regular sailings can be 929, can be FBM Tricat. The Boeings and Kvarerner are much smoother, as you might expect. I don't use it, but this app or others may show real time which sailing use what model. Might take some time to figure out:

There's no advanced seat reservations. Seats are assigned when you get to the gate, using old-fashioned "sticker on your ferry ticket" method. So, once you go through immigration and get to the gate, go get your seat assignment first before sitting down to wait or look around.

I hope you're joking, but there's no standing.
