When to book
Book the boat when your flight is fixed
- Pick a boat that leaves after your “land by” time with room to spare: if your flight is late, a boat you booked may leave without you.
- In December, January and around holidays, boats on popular Andaman Coast routes can sell out: book a day or more ahead.
- Booking the car and the boat separately? Book the car for your landing time, and the boat with the buffer above.
Season and sea
The southwest monsoon brings rougher seas from roughly May to October. Several island-hopping speedboats, especially in the far south around Koh Lipe and the Trang islands, run only in the high season, roughly November to April.
Good to know
- Andaman Wave Master’s ferry fares do not include land transfer in Krabi or on Phi Phi.
- Tigerline’s speedboat leaves from Chao Fah (Kongka) Pier in Krabi town centre, not Klong Jilad; its high-season timetable was not published when we checked, so confirm it before you travel.
- Phi Phi Don has no cars: hotel staff or porters meet boats at Ton Sai Pier, or you walk.
