Swift Seas from Phuket to Koh Bulon by Speedboat
Phuket to Koh Bulon Ferry: Route Overview
Travelling from Phuket to Koh Bulon takes you from Phuket's busy tourist coast to one of the Andaman Sea's quieter island escapes. There is currently no single direct speedboat running the whole way between Phuket and Koh Bulon, so the journey is completed with a connection rather than one continuous sailing. Booking the route as a through-ticket still gets you from door to island, with the transfer handled as part of the same itinerary.
Transport Options and Operators
The route is served using speed boat, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat and Satun Pakbara Speed Boat Club. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, and the connecting leg is coordinated so you are not left arranging your own transfer on arrival. Because Koh Bulon is a small island with limited pier infrastructure, services are seasonal and operators may adjust routing without much notice, so it's worth confirming your specific connection at the time of booking.
Journey Duration, Schedule and Frequency
Total journey time for the Phuket to Koh Bulon route is the scheduled journey time, and 1 run the connection. Services operate during all year round; outside this window, sailings to Koh Bulon are reduced or suspended, as is normal for this part of the Andaman coast. Exact departure times vary by operator and by season, so always check the live schedule shown on this page before finalising your travel dates, particularly if you have an onward flight or hotel check-in to meet.
Prices and What's Included
Fares for this route start from ฿2,450 per person. Prices can vary depending on the operator, the season, and whether the transfer leg is bundled into a single through-fare, so use the price shown against your selected departure rather than assuming a fixed rate.

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.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
