Everything was smooth, and the journey on the ferry actually only took around 90 mins which we were surprised about. We paid 200 to upgrade to VIP where we enjoyed the top deck basically by ourselves and had some included drinks and snacks. All in all, not a single complaint

This was not a direct ferry via speedboat as was advertised. Our purchase stated 70 min trip and this was 2.5 hours with multiple stops.

Ride was fast, perfect in time. The sea was calm, so the ride in this powerful boat was very nice. At the pier taxi was already waiting!

The boat showed up early, the boat left early, by 10 minutes. I was standing at the base of East Railay Pier for 30 minutes, then some guy said "Where you go?" He took a picture of my phone voucher, a picture of me, pointed at the boat as it came in and said "Lets go" And we did.
