The many waves rocked the boat and made me throw up

Overall, we were very impressed. We travelled on a very rocky and windy day and were stressed based on previous reviews, but the journey was made more comfortable by the size of the boat. It was quick and timely and seats were comfortable. The stop at Koh Phagnan on the way was not an issue at all and didn’t interfere with the journey.

Advise this over the speedboat, the time difference is marginal and worth it for safety

I took a Lomphrayah speed catamar to Koh Tao which was scary and borderline unsafe. To come back, I took a Songserm ferry and was extremely happy with it, fewer people, so much space for yourself, no scary rocking of the boat, no one puking. I am surprised why more people don’t choose this option over speedboats.

On time / easy check in / well organized

The boat was on time. But it was 100 bahts cheaper to buy at the pier. I don't know of they run out of tickets though.
