Ao Nang to Koh Jum Ferry: Routes, Operators and Booking Information
Traveling from Ao Nang to Koh Jum connects the mainland pier at Ao Nang with the quieter, laid-back island of Koh Jum in Krabi province. This route is popular with travellers looking to skip the crowds of Koh Phi Phi and Koh Lanta while still staying within easy reach of them.
Seasonal Availability
This ferry route operates seasonally, running from January to May and October to December. Outside this window, sea conditions in this part of the Andaman Sea make direct boat service unreliable, so operators suspend the route. If you are searching outside January to May and October to December, the booking engine on this page may show no available departures — this is expected, not an error. Travellers needing to reach Koh Jum out of season should check alternative connections via Krabi Town or Koh Lanta, which tend to run further into the year.
Transport Options and Operators
During the operating season, the crossing is served by speed boat operated by Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, though this can vary depending on the specific vessel assigned on the day of travel.
Journey Duration and Schedule
The crossing takes approximately the scheduled journey time, with 3 available during the active season. Exact departure and arrival times vary by operator and by day, so always confirm the current timetable shown on this page when booking rather than relying on a fixed schedule, since operators adjust timings around tides and demand.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from the main pier area in Ao Nang, where staff or signage will direct you to the correct boarding point closer to departure time. On arrival, boats dock at Koh Jum's pier, a short walk or transfer from most accommodation on the island. If you're arranging onward transfers, it's worth confirming your accommodation's pickup arrangements in advance, since Koh Jum has limited public transport.
Prices
Fares on this route start from ฿900. Prices can vary by operator, boat type, and how far in advance you book, so the figure shown at checkout reflects the current rate for your selected date.
Booking This Route
You can check live availability and book your Ao Nang to Koh Jum ferry directly through the schedule above. If you're planning the return leg, see the Koh Jum to Ao Nang ferry schedule for departure times and fares in the opposite direction. Booking ahead is recommended during the peak months within January to May and October to December, when seats on popular morning departures can sell out.
Good to Know Before You Travel
Koh Jum is smaller and quieter than neighboring islands, with fewer piers and less frequent service, so it helps to confirm your exact pier and boarding time the day before travel. Luggage allowances and onboard facilities depend on the operator running your chosen departure, and small boats may have limited space for large bags. If sea conditions are rough, operators may adjust or delay departures for safety, so building a buffer into onward travel plans — especially flight connections — is a sensible precaution.
Frequently asked questions
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. On the day of travel, simply present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket—they'll give you a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer a printed copy, you can register as a member on our site, which allows you to easily print out your e-tickets and VAT receipts.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
If your trip is cancelled due to bad weather, you can choose between receiving a refund or rescheduling your journey.
Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip. Also keep in mind that speedboats are more likely to be cancelled than ferries, as ferries can usually operate in the rain except in extremely bad weather — though journeys may take a little longer during storms or strong winds.

What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
Yes, you can change your trip date as long as you provide notice at least 24, 48, or 72 hours before departure—the exact timeframe depends on the ferry operator you booked with. A small service fee of 200 baht per person applies for a second change.
Please note:
Changes must be for the same operator and boat type as your original booking.
The change applies to the entire booking; for example, if your booking is for 3 passengers, we cannot change the date or time for just one of them.

Bali Ferry :
Yes, you can. The change is required 7 days' notice prior to departure date. There is a small fee of USD $10 applied per time. Please click the chat button to speak with one of our customer service agents who will take you through the simple booking change process.
If I miss my ferry, can I take the next one?
Unfortunately, it is not possible. Tickets will expire for late arrivals and are strictly non-refundable and non-changeable.
To avoid missing your trip, please plan to arrive at the pier at least 30 minutes before departure to allow enough time for check-in and boarding.
If you do happen to miss your ferry and wish to travel as soon as possible, contact us right away, and we’ll advise you on the best available options.
