Seats aren't very comfortable but it was a short ride. It was meant to be 1h45 but ended up being 2h15 which is still acceptable but bear that in mind

We booked a fast speedboat @ 12u30 pm, 1u30 from Bangrak to Koh Tao Mae Haad Pier with the speed boat. They put us on the long big boat trip, lasting 2u45' also due to the long stop in Koh Phangan. We were at the pier at 10 am there 3 hours before because our fligth was early and fast. We asked for the boat of 10u30 am. They said it was full, it was totally not. The one at12u30 pm we took, should arrived at 2 pm, it did at 3pm, and that boat was so overcrowded, a lot of people could not even sit!!!

Super professional and structured. Made sure the people going the furthest entered the boat first so we get good seats and everything felt quick and nice during the trip.
