Two engines and the swim platform
Our recommended boat. Two engines keep it steadier and more reliable in heavy rain, big waves or darkness, so at night or in rough weather we send two-engine boats first. The boat in these photos has covered bench seating, a swim platform and an onboard toilet.

Questions before you book
Tapee pier, in Surat Thani town, about 30 km from the airport (35 to 45 minutes by road). Donsak Pier is about 1.5 hours by road from the airport. We can arrange a van from the airport to either pier, at extra cost: add it when you book.
Yes. Every boat runs both ways: from Koh Samui or Koh Phangan to Tapee pier, the closest to Surat Thani Airport, or to Donsak Pier.
One big suitcase per person is included. Each extra big suitcase is 200 THB: tell us in advance when you book. A van seats up to 10 people but has no boot. Groups of 6 or more: tell us how many suitcases you have, as you may need an extra van for the bags or to split your group by road. The choice is yours.
You pay on kohsanuk.com, our booking system, and choose at checkout: pay now, pay later once we confirm, or pay on the day. Paying now, you pay the full price or a 50% deposit online, including a 4.1% online payment fee. By card, the amount is only held until we confirm your booking. With a deposit, the rest is paid on the day in cash, or online before your trip. No cash for the rest of the payment? Tell your manager or driver: the van stops at the nearest ATM at no extra charge.
Private transfers only: the boat and the vans carry your group alone, never other passengers.
