Boat schedule to Koh Yao Noi

The departures we sell are shown in the boat schedule table below. Other boats run on this route through the day, and sailings are reduced in the rainy season (May to October). The team will confirm the departure time for your date when you book.

Flying into Phuket?

Bang Rong is the closest pier to the airport for Koh Yao. If your flight lands in the afternoon, check the last departure time carefully; if you might miss it, ask the team about a private speedboat or an overnight stay near the airport.

What to bring

• Your booking confirmation and passport or photo ID
• Luggage that is easy to carry onto a speedboat (staff help load bags)
• A waterproof cover for electronics
• Small Thai baht notes for island tuk-tuks and taxis

Tips from our team

• Koh Yao Noi is quieter and more developed for visitors; Koh Yao Yai is bigger and even more rural.
• Arrange your island transfer with your hotel ahead of time; taxis at the piers are limited.
