This is how divers get to and from work on an offshore oil rig.

I guess if you don’t like them you can always dunk them a few times before putting them on the boat ;)

What wind speed will they not transfer at?

Wind speed is not the problem, it is the size of the waves that the wind causes that is the problem. The waves will become too big before the wind gets high enough to stop a transfer. The crane operator needs to time the lift to how the boat is moving up and down with the waves.
