How to get from Koh Yao Yai to Koh Jum
Koh Yao Yai to Koh Jum Ferry
Traveling from Koh Yao Yai to Koh Jum links two of the quieter islands in Krabi's Andaman Sea, connecting the fishing-village pace of Koh Yao Yai with the laid-back, jungle-backed shoreline of Koh Jum (also known locally as Koh Pu). The crossing is popular with travellers who are island-hopping between Phang Nga Bay and the Krabi–Koh Lanta coastline without routing back through the mainland. If you're planning the return leg, see the Koh Jum to Koh Yao Yai ferry schedule for departure times and fares in the opposite direction.
Seasonal Service
This route does not run year-round. Boats operate during January to May and November to December, which covers the calmer sea conditions of the Andaman dry season. Outside these months, sea conditions between Koh Yao Yai and Koh Jum make direct sailings unreliable, and operators suspend the route. If you're searching outside the active season, plan to travel via Krabi's mainland piers instead — most connections to Koh Jum and Koh Yao Yai continue from Ao Nammao Pier or Krabi Town Pier year-round, even when the direct island-to-island boat is paused. Check the booking calendar on this page before confirming any other travel plans around this crossing.
Transport Modes and Operators
The route is served by Bundhaya Speed Boat, running a speed boat between the two islands. This keeps the crossing direct, avoiding a longer transfer through Krabi Town or Ao Nammao Pier, which are the usual mainland gateways for boats continuing on to Koh Lanta, Koh Phi Phi, and Phuket. Onboard facilities include onboard facilities, and life jackets are provided as standard on Andaman inter-island services.
Journey Duration, Frequency and Price
The crossing takes around the scheduled journey time, with 2 scheduled during the operating season. Fares start from ฿1,200 per person; exact pricing can vary by operator, boat type, and how far in advance you book, so use the live fares shown on this page rather than a fixed figure. Seats are limited on smaller boats serving this route, so booking ahead is recommended in peak months and around Thai public holidays.
Departure and Arrival Points
Boats depart from Koh Yao Yai on Koh Yao Yai and arrive at Koh Jum on Koh Jum. Both piers are close to the main village areas on each island, making onward transfers to guesthouses, resorts, or connecting longtail boats straightforward. Travellers continuing further along the coast can pick up onward connections toward Koh Lanta or Koh Phi Phi from nearby Krabi piers, or head north toward Koh Yao Noi and Phuket.
Booking Your Crossing
Luggage space is limited on the smaller boats used for this crossing, so pack light and keep valuables and travel documents with you rather than in the hold. Confirm your pickup point on Koh Yao Yai when booking, as some tickets include hotel transfer while others require you to reach the pier independently. Book your Koh Yao Yai to Koh Jum ferry ticket now to lock in your seat and travel date, and check the reverse-route schedule above if you're also planning your journey back.
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.
