It’s a quick but very rough 1 hour 20 minute trip from Phuket to Koh Lanta. You basically just sit there and watch whatever/whoever is in front of you and hope the ride is over soon. That being said, I’d still recommend it to go quickly from A to B!

One of the engines failed about 3/4 of the way there. A very scary at sea repair ensued to no avail. The boat didn’t seem able to go above idle speed afterwards but thankfully made it to dock eventually. My advice, get a bigger boat or fly. These speedboats are a risk too far.

They changed ferries mid-way and the second ferry was in terrible shape with broken windows and very worn out. Felt a bit unsafe in the big waves.

A nice and exciting boat ride on the Andaman sea. The captain even approached an island so we could make good photos of it. A wonderful experience.

This trip went smooth, left 30 minutes later than mentioned time. First ferry was comfy, however, then you stop at PhiPhi to take another boat which is smaller than a ferry and slower than a speedboat. The second one wasn’t as comfy especially with a baby.

The whole trip was straight forward we booked it from the internet with lanta petpailin and everything was as smooth as it gets. Though we had to make our way to Rassada pier anyway they don't advertise transfer. The actual trip was very smooth we had to change boat in phi phi island but our guide there made sure everything to be smooth. The 1st boat had a snack Bar with very reasonable prices the 2nd boat was ok but anyway from phi phi to ko lanta is only like 30-40 minutes. Have in mind on 2nd boat there will be a lady advertising for taxis...I can't tell for sure if it worth it or not but she also made sure everything to be smooth. Grab app is NOT working in kolanta

Booking was easy. Started 45 minutes late but still made the connection at phi phi. They offered arranged transport at the Saladin pier which was great!

We recommend booking your ferry ticket in advance, especially if you plan to travel during the high season or long weekends and national holidays.

It may depend on the type of the ship – fast or slow, the route – direct or calling to other piers enroute, and the weather conditions – rains and winds are not the best friends for ferries. Do expect delays or trip cancellations if the weather is stormy or your travel falls on off-season or shoulder season.

Travelling by ferry essentials

  • We do recommend buying your ferry tickets in advance, especially if your route is served by smaller vessels that offer a limited number of daily departures. To book in advance is of primary importance not only during the high season but off-season, too. Sometimes it is ok to show up at the pier and hop on the next ferry but remember that this is not possible for any destination, and you may end up waiting for hours for the next departure and to have to change your travel plans.
  • Shipping is highly dependent on weather conditions. It mostly refers to the open sea routes, e.g. between the destinations in the open sea and the coast as well as between the islands scattered in the sea. If the waves are high, even the islands which sit closest to the shore are often cut off from the continent – all vessels may be ordered to remain in the harbor. So do keep in mind that during stormy weather, delays and cancellations may occur. Strong winds and heavy rains may interfere with your sea journey, too. So take it into consideration while making your travel plans.
  • Very often, a more expensive fare means less time spent on board, though the difference in price also may be due to the different cabin classes. Always check how long your trip lasts – it may be worth paying extra to cut your travel time to an hour instead of three, right? Travel time can be crucial if you are prone to seasickness, so choosing the cheapest ferry ticket is not always a good idea.
  • Speedboats bring you to the destination in the shortest time possible, while fast catamarans are also a decent choice, often taking only slightly more time. On some routes, slower and sometimes overnight ships are available, proving a prudent option if you are ready to spend a night on board. It actually allows you to save some bucks in your pocket that you would have otherwise spent on a hotel room. Yet again – longer ferry trips are not for everyone.
  • If you are prone to seasickness, take medicine half an hour before you board your ferry, not when you have already started feeling nausea – this way it will not help. Opt for staying on the open deck with a fresh breeze blowing into your face wherever possible. On vessels with several decks, the lower one normally feels more stable, while the upper one often is more of a rock-n-roll type.
  • A rule of thumb, choose bigger and more stable car ferries or high-speed boats if you suffer from rough seas. The former feels very steady even when stormy, and the latter is fast. Avoid catamaran-like ferries as they ride the wave rather than cut through it – which means constant ups and downs, ups and downs, OMG. If you happen to choose a catamaran, do follow our recommendation above.
  • Ferry is often not the only way to travel between certain destinations. It is obviously more scenic but usually pricier and may take much longer than if opting for a flight or a bus ride. Before you go, check if your island destination is connected to the mainland with a bridge – many islands which are located close to the shore, in fact, are.
  • Always put on your life jacket. Regulations around the world differ greatly and, in some countries, are more relaxed than in others. Anyway, almost everywhere, passengers are supposed to wear their life vests. If you are not provided with one, do not hesitate to ask where they are located.
  • Note that piers at some destinations collect a special ‘pier fee’ from all arriving passengers. As a rule, this fee is not included in your ticket price and should be paid on arrival.
  • Reading other travellers’ reviews is the best way to get an idea of what to expect from your ferry trip. Do check their experience to get the most out of your sea journey.
