Heaven & Hell. Phi Phi islands are heaven, these boats are hell.. fast, yes but this comes at a price.. This was the last boat back at 4pm. It was packed with ~50 people on board including staff + 10-15 pieces of sizeable luggage.. One of the workers (an older guy) who seemed to be packing people onto the boat felt it necessary to shout and be rude to the paying guests. Guests had to ask him to not shout aggressively because of children on board. It got quite heated, was unnecessary and made the guests feel like second class citizens, which is why I have scored this 2 stars.. this felt overloaded for the size of craft. It was not clear what the the maximum number was, normally I would expect this to be written somewhere. Thankfully the weather was perfect so the crossing was no problem. These boats are fast travelling around 55 kilometres/hour and very noisy. If you can bring ear plugs or noise cancelling earplugs it is advisable.

There was extreme weather and the boat should have been cancelled. Operator provided some help in distributing pills at beginning, puke bags and collecting them and some kind of scent. A large percentage of the people vomitted. Also 3 people had to sit on the ground although they had a ticket.

They are a caring and genuine crew. They provided extra help boarding and disembarking as I was using a cane. In board, everything was arranged for transportation from the pier to the hotel. It all went smoothly.

The boat trip was really rocky because of the waves but you can’t fault the company for that. Got us there safely though a bit late. I expected to be getting a shared van for the journey from the pier to the airport but was pleasantly surprised for it to be a private taxi. Overall pretty happy

Excellent, hassle free. Ferry had lots of seats & AC. There is a small shop on board that has the basics if you need water/juice etc

Fast but bouncy crossing- hard to see out so choose this route if speed is important otherwise take the ferry.

Decent journey, things were a little chaotic at Phi Phi pier, but it's a big boat and we had good legroom on the lower deck. No shop just so you're aware, they only have a little stall for snacks and it's very overpriced. When we arrived at Phuket, we nearly got left behind as the organisation of the transfer buses was very chaotic.
