Koh Lipe to Koh Lanta ferry overview
Traveling from Koh Lipe to Koh Lanta connects two of the Andaman coast's most popular islands. Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club covers the route aboard a speed boat, with a one-way crossing taking around the scheduled journey time. Fares start from ฿1,700 per person, and seats can be booked online in advance to lock in your preferred departure.
Journey stages and what's onboard
Because Koh Lipe and Koh Lanta sit on opposite sides of the same stretch of sea, the route is typically run as a single connecting service rather than a nonstop hop, with the operator handling any transfer between legs. Onboard, travelers have access to onboard facilities, which makes the the scheduled journey time crossing comfortable whether you're carrying snorkeling gear or luggage for a longer stay. Fares can vary by seating class and by how far in advance you book, so it's worth comparing the options shown on this page before confirming your ticket.

Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
