Satun to Phuket Ferry and Transport
Traveling between Satun and Phuket combines a short sea crossing with road transfers, since no single ferry runs the whole way. Most travelers cover the route using a combination of speed boat services booked as one through-ticket, with Bundhaya Speed Boat handling the main legs. Typical journey time is about 7 minutes, and fares start from ฿3,150 per person depending on the operator and how far in advance you book.
When this route operates
This connection is seasonal and does not run all year. Services operate during selected months of the year, which follows the sea conditions and tourist demand in this part of southern Thailand. If you are searching outside this window, the booking engine on this route will show no available departures — that is expected, not an error. Travelers needing to move between Satun and Phuket outside the operating season should plan on the road-and-air alternative instead, connecting via Hat Yai or Krabi, and should check back closer to the next operating window for ferry availability to reopen.
Departure points, arrival points and schedule
Departures from Satun are typically arranged from the town's pier or a nearby jetty used for onward island and mainland connections, with arrival on the Phuket side at the main pier serving road transfer to hotels across the island. Within the operating season, 1 are available, though exact departure and arrival times vary by operator and by day of week, so always confirm the specific sailing time shown at checkout rather than assuming a fixed schedule.
Operators, comfort and what is included
Bundhaya Speed Boat is the operator currently listed for this route, and the service includes onboard facilities on board or during the transfer legs, which is worth checking against your own comfort needs, especially for longer road sections. Tickets are usually combined tickets covering both the sea and land portions, so you do not need to book each leg separately.
Booking this route
Because seats and vehicle transfer space are limited during peak weeks of the operating season, it is worth booking your Satun to Phuket ticket as soon as your travel dates are fixed rather than waiting until arrival. Enter your travel date to see live availability, confirmed pricing from ฿3,150, and the current departure options for Bundhaya Speed Boat before you pay. If you are planning the return leg, the Phuket to Satun ferry and transfer schedule covers the same combined service in the opposite direction, including its own seasonal availability.
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.

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.
