Phuket to Krabi: A Scenic Voyage by Ferry, Speedboat or Van
Ferry from Phuket to Krabi
Travelling from Phuket to Krabi is one of the most popular short sea crossings in southern Thailand, linking Phuket's piers with the mainland province of Krabi. The route is served by ferry and speed boat operated by Andaman Wave Master and Chureang Travel & Tour, with a typical crossing time of the scheduled journey time. It's a practical alternative to the overland journey around Phang Nga Bay, since the direct sea link avoids the longer road route via the mainland.

Departure and arrival points
Ferries and speedboats to Krabi normally leave from Rassada Pier or Bang Rong Pier on Phuket's east coast, depending on the operator and time of day. On arrival in Krabi, the pier used depends on the service and final destination — some routes dock at Klong Jilad Pier near Krabi Town, while others continue on to Ao Nang or Railay. Always check the arrival pier shown for your selected departure before booking, especially if you have an onward transfer arranged.
Schedules and journey time
Andaman Wave Master and Chureang Travel & Tour and other operators run 4 on this route during the all year round season, though exact departure times can shift with tides, weather and demand, so it's worth confirming the timetable at the point of booking rather than relying on a fixed clock time. The crossing itself takes around the scheduled journey time, making it a manageable day-trip distance whether you're travelling for a single night or relocating for a longer stay in Krabi province.
Many services also call at Phi Phi Island en route, so travellers heading that way can sometimes combine legs on the same ticket — check the stop details on each departure before you book if a Phi Phi stopover matters to your plans.
Prices and tickets
One-way fares on this route start from ฿1,100, with pricing that can vary by operator, vessel type and how far in advance you book. Comparing the available departures side by side is the easiest way to match your budget and preferred pier to the right ferry.
Onboard comfort and facilities
Vessels on the Phuket–Krabi route are ferry and speed boat, typically equipped with onboard facilities to make the crossing comfortable, particularly useful if you're travelling with luggage for a longer stay or connecting onward to islands such as Railay or the Phi Phi group. Deck seating is common on calmer days, giving good views of the limestone karsts that mark this stretch of the Andaman Sea.

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.

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.
