How to get from Koh Jum to Railay
Koh Jum to Railay Ferry
Traveling from Koh Jum to Railay connects two of the Krabi coast's most laid-back destinations, with Koh Jum's quiet beaches on one side and Railay's limestone cliffs on the other. The crossing is a popular option for travelers island-hopping along the Andaman coast without wanting to route back through the mainland.
Seasonal Availability
This route operates seasonally, running only during January to May and October to December. Outside this window, direct boats between Koh Jum and Railay are not scheduled, so the booking engine on this page will show no available departures. If you are traveling outside January to May and October to December, plan on connecting via Krabi Town or Ao Nang instead, where onward boats and longtail transfers to both Koh Jum and Railay run more consistently year-round. Always check the live schedule above before finalizing other travel arrangements around this crossing.
Transport and Operators
The route is served by speed boat, operated by Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat. Onboard facilities typically include onboard facilities, though it's worth confirming specifics for your chosen departure, as comfort levels can vary between smaller longtail transfers and larger speedboats.
Journey Time and Frequency
The crossing takes approximately the scheduled journey time, with 3 available during the active season. Because this is a low-frequency, seasonal route, sailings can fill up on peak dates, particularly around midday when most inter-island transfers are scheduled. Exact departure times vary by operator and month, so check the timetable shown on this page when you book rather than relying on a fixed schedule.
Prices and Departure Points
Fares start from ฿900 per person. Pricing can shift with season, operator, and how far in advance you book, so treat the figure shown as a starting point rather than a fixed rate. Boats typically depart from Koh Jum's main pier and arrive at Railay Beach, though pickup points can vary depending on where you're staying on Koh Jum — some operators offer hotel or beach pickup as part of the fare, which is worth checking at checkout.
Booking This Route
Because sailings are limited to a few departures a day within January to May and October to December, it's worth booking ahead rather than turning up at the pier, especially during the busier months of the season. Select your travel date above to see live departure times, confirm seat availability with Andaman Wave Master and Bundhaya Speed Boat, and secure your crossing between Koh Jum and Railay.
If you're planning the return leg, you can check ferry times from Railay back to Koh Jum for matching schedules and fares on the reverse journey.
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 :

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.
