Got from Ao Nang to our hotel in Patong. Took about 4.5 hours door to door. - Driver picked us up on time. A little squished in the truck, but otherwise good. Good boat ride. We left around 15 minutes late and arrived around 45 minutes late. The driver from the pier in Phuket did a fine job and got us to our hotel.

Best way to get to Phuket from Krabi - Easy booking and good communication with tour operator. It was a little confusing at the harbor in Krabi but it all came together. The boat was clean although the Video monitors didn't work.

We were supposed to be... - We were supposed to be picked up between 0900 and 0930 but no one showed up. Tried to get hold of someone for assistance but decided we should hire our own ride due to time constraints. Around 0945 we received a ride and later we're contacted and advised the tour operator was running late and should be at the hotel around 0955. Too much anxiety waiting for ride to make it to ferry on time.

Nightmare Ferry Transfer from Ao Nang to Phuket - Avoid at All Costs! - This ferry transfer from Ao Nang to Phuket was an absolute disaster! It was poorly organized from start to finish and ended up taking hours longer than advertised. Here's the breakdown of this travel nightmare: Pick-up Chaos: My pick-up window was between 2pm and 2:30pm. I waited patiently, bags packed, until 2:45pm before they finally arrived. Not a great way to start the journey. Disorganized Departure: Once at the ferry jetty, the process was chaotic. It took ages to get everyone sorted, and the boat ended up leaving a full 45 minutes behind schedule. Extended Journey: The ferry trip itself took much longer than advertised, meaning we didn't arrive in Phuket Old Town until 7:30pm – already several hours behind schedule. Minivan Mishap: Arriving in Phuket, the promised hotel transfer fell apart. The tour company didn't have minivans for a direct transfer, so they crammed us all onto a large bus. This bus then proceeded to completely bypass my hotel and take us on a scenic (and entirely unnecessary) 30-minute detour to the other side of the beach and the bus terminal. Double Transfer: Finally, at the bus terminal, they shuffled us into another minivan for a "direct" hotel transfer. "Direct" in this case apparently meant another 20-minute drive before I finally reached my hotel – at a staggering 9:40pm! Avoid this company if you value your time and sanity! The entire transfer was poorly managed, took far too long, and left me exhausted and frustrated. Look elsewhere for a ferry transfer from Ao Nang to Phuket – there are definitely better options out there!

Terrible - Terrible trip. Boat was over 30 minutes late into the port, extremely dated boat and treat like children. We had 4 different boats and changed boats twice in the middle of the ocean with luggage. Would not recommend.

⚠️Ferry from Phuket to Krabi ( Ao Nang ) ⚠️ - First of all the ferry was 45min late because of 2 people. They tell you to come at least 30min before and then they let 200 people wait for 2 people for 45min. It’s tinny port so the moment you enter your pier for boarding is there. Don’t even bother to come earlier. Second thing, after departure they told us that we will stop at privet island to drop some people off. That’s not written anywhere!! After contacting the company, they just kept on repeating “normally if passenger then boat stop at Railay, if no passenger then boat don’t stop”, with their poor English. Pretty much useless and corrupted like most of the agencies here.
