Route Details and Booking
Boats depart from Koh Jum on Koh Jum and arrive at Koh Yao Yai on Koh Yao Yai, with onboard facilities including onboard facilities.

When This Route Operates
This is a seasonal Andaman crossing: services run January to May and November to December, in line with calmer sea conditions in the region. Outside this window, boats between Koh Jum and Koh Yao Yai do not run, so if you are searching outside the operating season, plan your visit for one of the active months shown above. Travellers needing to move between the two islands off-season should instead route via Krabi town or Phuket, both of which keep year-round ferry and speedboat links to the wider Andaman islands, including Koh Yao Noi just north of Koh Yao Yai.
Getting to Koh Jum and Koh Yao Yai
Koh Jum sits between Koh Lanta and Krabi, and is typically reached first via Krabi's piers before connecting onward. Koh Yao Yai, along with its smaller neighbour Koh Yao Noi, lies in Phang Nga Bay roughly midway between Krabi and Phuket, making both islands convenient stopovers for travellers island-hopping across the region rather than flying directly. If you are coming from Phuket, connections to Koh Yao Yai are generally more frequent than those from Koh Jum, so factor this into your itinerary when the direct route is out of season.
Planning Your Trip
For a smoother island-hopping route through the Andaman, many travellers combine this crossing with stops in Krabi or Phuket, or extend their trip to Koh Yao Noi. If you are also planning the return leg, see the Koh Yao Yai to Koh Jum ferry route for schedules and fares in the opposite direction.

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.

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.
