Excellent. Perfectly on time. Very well organized. Boat (Lanta to Phuket) was not crowded, please consider that it was low season.

The voyage was quick apart from the few minutes when the boat stopped completely for reasons we couldn't initially see. After a few minutes, the crew who had been looking at the problem, rushed to the back of the boat and very efficiently replaced the prop on one of the four engines. The boat was not terribly comfortable, but I think that's to be expected on boats of this type. You sacrifice comfort for speed on these speedboat ls.

Would recommend! We got the first boat from Lanta- Phuket and it was still punctual yet less busy than other providers so it was so much more comfortable. It was also less bumpy than other providers but not sure if this was a coincidence. Would book with them again next time! :)
