Ferry ride from Phuket to Ao Nang (mainland), was not expecting much but quite scenic as you pass other (Phi Phi) islands. Option of watching from upper deck or relaxing in AC lower deck. Comfortable journey for trip that is approx. 1 hour.

Being on the top deck and the VIP section, you get snacks and drinks.
Really smooth ride and everything went to time

Pier in Phuket was confusing and was directed to wrong check in booth where fight almost broke out when people barged into long lines. Baggage was stored in large piles onboard vessel which left 30 min late as was waiting to fill right up. Utter chaos when it came to finding our two bags and to exit the ship. We had booked transport from ferry to our hotel in Ao Nang but no one was waiting for us so boarded a “free” ride in back of truck. Cut my leg trying to get in the 2 1/2 ft step up. Promises from Viator unfulfilled.

There are more seats than space on that boat, which makes settling in terribly uncomfortable. All the people have to brush past the seats because there is no space. constantly being bothered. remove a row of seats and regain dignity
When you get to land things get even worse, they treat you like cattle and don't give you information. They only talk to each other and indicate with gestures where to move as if you were an animal.

We we really impressed with the organisation of this trip, we were kept well informed at all times, the pick up was punctual, transfer comfortable and assistance onto ferry with our luggage excellent.
Out actual ferry was dated , funny having old airline seats that needed recovering , but the ride was smooth.
However it was at the end of the trip that things fell apart, there was no help either luggage which had been stacked in a corner of the ferry, so everyone was pulling their own from the stack causing columns to fall, no help carrying bags of the boat, which was hard when the boats are parked 3 wide and you have to clamber across them.
Sure fine for younger backpackers but I am in my 60s with a previously severely broken arm and needed assist with luggage, this was not forthcoming which was a shame.

Interesting experience traveling from Phuket to Ao Nang. We felt very safe on the ferry, but the luggage and ticket line need a bit of work.

1.5 hours late departure from Ao Nang, boat “broken” after leaving Railay. Change over to another boat with sleeping sick child in pram, sit back in the same place as we had on previous boat, extremely rude female staff member screams at us asking us to move to a different deck. We tried explaining that our baby (16months) had been in the medical centre and is on medication and really needs this sleep as by then we should have already been in Ko Lanta. After screaming at us some more she then locks us in to the deck cabin (imagine if there was an accident, there has been 4 in Thailand in the past 2 weeks). Her staff then walked around the outside of the deck smoking weed and banging on the windows and doors all while our child tried to sleep. Awful treatment by boat staff albeit the power staff were kind and helpful. We’re about 20 minutes out from Lanta as I write this and expecting a lot more abuse even police when we arrive to the pier. I will update but avoid this company if you actually have to be somewhere at a certain time.

It was simple. The boat was on time and the ferry ride provided a great view in bonus. A great way to move from Phuket to Ao Nang beach.
