border crossing Puerto Heath (Bolivia) to Puerto Maldonado (Peru)

Hello. I am currently in Bolivia and in about one month I´ll leave the country for Peru. As I want to go all the way up north (to Pando) I was thinking about crossing the border by boat. I heard there are boats from Puerto Heath in Bolivia to Puerto Maldonado in Peru, but I don´t have a clue about how much time this takes, about the price I should pay (more or less) and if boats leave frequently. Has anyone done this bordercrossing? Is it easy or a pain in the ass? Thanks for your answer.
