It was like riding an... - It was like riding an airplane — on the sea instead of in the air. Everyone was very helpful with two elderly ladies; one with slight mobility issues.

Best way to get to Phuket from Krabi - Easy booking and good communication with tour operator. It was a little confusing at the harbor in Krabi but it all came together. The boat was clean although the Video monitors didn't work.

Long... - I'd read a few reviews and got a 2ish hour travel time, so thought I'd be landing in Phuket at 5ish. Not the case. Ferry didn't leave till after 3.30pm and took 3 and a half hours, didn't arrive till after 7 then over an hour for transfer to hotel arriving after 8pm.
After getting picked up around 2pm this was over a 6 hour journey, soooo leave plenty of time for this travel 👍
The ferry itself was good, a can of beer and crisps available to buy on board, you can sunbathe on the top deck if you wish. The sunset pics as your coming into Phuket harbor are amazing. All in all a good trip, but, leave plenty of time for it 🙏

Disappointing - Truck Arrived very late to pick us up from hotel, which was very anxiety provoking!!! Got to pier, had to transfer from 1 ferry to another to get to the ferry we were travelling to Phuket, when we eventually got on the ferry informed that we would need to pay an additional 200 baht each if we wanted to go on the top deck!!! We choose not to!!! We felt like caged animals & claustrophobic, as there was very little space to wander in the fresh air & capture the sea views. The ferry was anticipated to take 2.5 hours but took 4.5 hours, stopping off at sea to pick up from speedboat & longboats, however, these passengers were directed upstairs, no sight of paying the extra 200 but???
No complimentary coffee or water!!
AoNang travel definitely not as good as Phi Phi cruiser, who are far more organised & professional

Terrible - Terrible trip. Boat was over 30 minutes late into the port, extremely dated boat and treat like children. We had 4 different boats and changed boats twice in the middle of the ocean with luggage. Would not recommend.

⚠️Ferry from Phuket to Krabi ( Ao Nang ) ⚠️ - First of all the ferry was 45min late because of 2 people. They tell you to come at least 30min before and then they let 200 people wait for 2 people for 45min.
It’s tinny port so the moment you enter your pier for boarding is there. Don’t even bother to come earlier.
Second thing, after departure they told us that we will stop at privet island to drop some people off.
That’s not written anywhere!!
After contacting the company, they just kept on repeating “normally if passenger then boat stop at Railay, if no passenger then boat don’t stop”, with their poor English. Pretty much useless and corrupted like most of the agencies here.

Pick up from hotel late, missed the ferry - The driver was late 45 minutes. We missed the ferry.
Bad experience.
Had to board smaller boat and after 30 minutes, in the middle of sea to switch from first boat to ferry.
