Did not drop me off at the correctly location.

The boat didn’t reach the final destination and dropped us in nearby town. From there we had to go by car to another pier and then again by boat. Very poor experience.

It was organized quite well. We departed about 20 minutes late, but I think that's ok for Thailand. The speedboat was extremely BUMPY! It was not an easy 1.5 hours. Other than that it was fine.

My car from Patong arrived on time and got me to the ferry terminal in good time. Checking in for the boat was easy and the ride to Krabi was fine. Would book again!

Efficient but not for the faint hearted. Bumpy ride through the waves but exhilarating if you like rollercoasters. I really enjoyed it and was tonnes quicker than a ferry to Railay East. 20 minute delay but may have been due to a bit of rain.
