Travel from Koh Jum to Ao Nang
Koh Jum to Ao Nang Ferry Route
Koh Jum is a quiet island between Koh Lanta and Krabi, and Ao Nang is the main beach resort area on the Krabi mainland, close to Krabi Town and Krabi International Airport. The crossing between Koh Jum and Ao Nang is one of the more direct ways to combine an island stay on Koh Jum with the restaurants, dive shops, and Railay Beach boat trips based around Ao Nang. Coming from the other direction, see the Ao Nang to Koh Jum ferry schedule for return sailings.
Operating Season
This route runs seasonally, during January to May and October to December. Boats between Koh Jum and Ao Nang are suspended outside this window because the Andaman Sea's monsoon swell between June and September makes the open-water crossing unsafe for the smaller vessels used on this line. If you are searching for dates outside January to May and October to December, the booking engine will show no departures — that is expected, not an error. Travellers needing to move between the two areas in the off-season should plan via Krabi Town, which keeps year-round road and boat links to both Koh Jum and Ao Nang, or check the Ao Nang to Koh Jum ferry schedule for any alternate sailings.
Transport, Piers and Journey Time
Sailings on this route are operated by Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat using a speed boat, with onboard onboard facilities for the crossing. The average journey takes the scheduled journey time, though actual times can shift slightly with sea conditions and how many stops a particular sailing makes along the way. Boats depart from Koh Jum's main pier on the island's east coast and arrive at Ao Nang's boat pier, within easy reach of Ao Nang's hotels, restaurants, and the pier for Railay Beach longtail boats. Some Koh Jum crossings route through Koh Lanta or Krabi Town as an intermediate stop rather than sailing direct, so it is worth checking your specific departure's stops when you book.
Schedule, Frequency and Fares
During January to May and October to December, Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat runs 3 between Koh Jum and Ao Nang. Fares start from ฿860 per person one-way; exact pricing can vary by boat, season, and how far in advance you book, so treat the fare shown at checkout as the figure to rely on. Because sailings are limited compared with the mainland-to-mainland routes around Krabi, booking a day or two ahead is sensible in peak months such as December and January.

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.

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.
