If you’re scared of the water, can’t swim, or it’s your first time on a speedboat do not use this one! The staff were fine, but the boat was really really bad. The thuds of the waves - whilst a natural thing - were so loud - ear puncturing loud a few people asked if it was safe to continue the journey.
One of the metal brackets holding the roof over us was also broken, and you could see the window ledge had been siliconed / fixed recently but it kept moving with every thud of the wave.
The optics weren’t great either when we stopped in the middle of the ocean and they opened a hatch and started scooping water from within the speedboat out of the boat. Not a good journey at all.
The journey started over an hour late, and we also arrived a two hours late.

Over 1 hour late. We had booked a direct connection, but there were stops at 4 islands, so we didn't arrive until 3pm instead of 1:30pm. Sometimes more people boarded than there were seats available.

Booked to the last seat, had to make extra space for people to sit... The seats could have been a little more comfy, but that's just 'luxus problems'.
Since everyone wanted to go to Lipe we made no stops and arrived before time. Including the pick-up is a plus, when you look at the cost of transportation on Lanta...
Travelled from Koh Lanta to Koh Lipe with Bundhaya speedboat and the journey went smoothly. As there were enough people going to Koh Lipe, the boat went directly there (so no stops at Koh Ngai/Kradden/Bulone) so we arrived 30 mins early.
