About Marinee Travel
To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Marinee Travel offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Marinee Travel?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
- To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
- Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
- Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
- Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
- Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
- Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

Zachary LGot to Koh Lanta 3 hours late. The ferry got caught in a storm and people everywhere were getting sick. Definitely caught them on a bad day, but why list 5.5 hours if you know it’ll take closer to 8?

Darcey MSpeedboat was all good but the minivan situ was bad. Hardly any room in the minivan, driving was incredibly dangerous and aggressive, plus we overshot a turning by 20 miles and had to turn around adding about 30-40 mins to our journey. We were then swapped into another vehicle in the middle of a highway - also insane driving - where we had so little leg room I had to sit sideways. Felt very unsafe at moments

Daina SI admired boat drivers. With heavy wind, they still drove and were in time, even if our engine broke. But they fixed it quickly (seems like it wasn't the first time). For safety reasons I think safety vests should be mandatory for everyone, it wasn't quite communicated.

Mike SThe trip itselfwas fine, but the lack of a detailed itinery makes it more difficult and stressful.
It would have been useful to know that when leaving the boat one has to make one's way to the operator's office (nobody meets or guides you) abd also that one has to change buses and re-check in. It is very confusing to be kicked off one bus without knowing why orwhat to do next!
Fortunately drivers and staff are helpful, despite language barriers.
But really, I think 12go should provide a detailed itinerary so that passengers know whatto expect and where to go.

Gena PThe boat and van operators were great. Checkin was quick. We left the dock about 15 minutes late but made it to the airport in about 3.5hrs from leaving the island. It was a bit difficult to find the location of the van Checkin area, but eventually was able to find it after about an 8 minute walk to across the street of the 7-11. The boat is not in any way comfortable, but that is to be expected. The van had AC and was comfortable.

Emelie RWe got a speedboat to Pakbara pier from Koh Lipe, then got in a minivan, then after an hour they told us to get into another guys car at the service station who then took us to a minivan station. Got into another minivan where the driver kept picking up friends/their parcels on the way and then after an hour or two, pulled over on the side of a motorway and told us to get into another guys car who took us to the port where we got the ferry to Samui. Was an interesting experience that kept us on our feet due to zero information about the route and vehicles involved until the the moment of the switches. Got to Samui almost 2 hours later than stated but was fine as had nothing planned. Everyone involved was very friendly and the journey was pretty comfortable overall. Note the speedboat was rocky and people were sick but only lasted 1.5 hours. Overall would recommend.

Sven VMy journey from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe went absolutely smoothly. Everything was perfectly organized: I was picked up on time at my hotel in Ao Nang, and the transfer to the pier was comfortable and stress-free. Upon arrival, the staff was ready to assist with luggage and provide clear instructions about the boat ride.
The boat trip itself was well managed, with helpful staff, clear information, and everything running exactly on schedule. I felt well taken care of throughout the journey. Upon arrival at Koh Lipe, staff were again there to help with luggage and guide us through immigration and onto the beach.
Overall, a perfect and worry-free experience. I would highly recommend this route from Ao Nang to Koh Lipe to anyone looking for a smooth and hassle-free transfer to paradise.

Carlos ASpeedboat from Koh Lipe to Pakbara Pier was fine, on time and smooth travel. Van from Pakbara to Kong Ka pier in Krabi was also good, on time and good driver. The problem came with speedboat from Kong Ka pier in Krabi to Ton Sai pier in Phi Phi: first speedboat company Arisa departed from pier and had to come back due to storm. They didn't give us any info apart from coming back next day and try with another company named Kanichta which at the next day was not operating. We had to switch to ferry (slower, takes 2h) but at least we didn't have to pay again. Bad experience with speedboats in Kong Ka pier.

Marcel EWe booked a trip from Koh Lipe to Phuket. The speedboat from Koh Lipe to Pak Bara Pier was great - no issues at all. Yet when you get to Pak Bara you have no idea where the van to Phuket is located (no directions are given before hand and no-one meets you at Pak Bara). After you find the van yourself, you’re squished into a van with packages that are dropped off on the journey. A few hours into the trip we were also asked to leave the van at a bus stop and told a different van would pick us up in 30 minutes. We arrived to Phuket over an hour late due to the number of stops on the way to pick up (drop off) packages and other stops for unclear reasons. We weren’t given any water or food during the entire 10 hour journey (there was 1 stop at 7-11 for us to buy our own food/water).
Overall, poor communication and not a great experience for a long journey

ZHANG YThe shuttle service after arriving at Pak Bara Pier was really bad. The supplier arranged a private car at first, and let the six of us and six large luggages squeeze together. After the strong protest of the other four passengers, they changed to a mini van and changed cars at an unknown gas station. It was really unbelievable.
