Different boats are used on this route. The standard speedboats seen everywhere are pretty much the norm but on the day we went from Koh Lanta to Phuket the boat had a very awkward seating set up that had everyone crammed in together and I think it was 8 forced to sit on open stools with no backs. Got there quickly but less comfortably than what we came to expect

They confirmed the ticket and the pick-up at the hotel. The next day they did not show up. I called they send a driver to pick me up. The boat was gone. They book me on a different cheap boat with a delay and stop to a small Island and refused to provide me with any type of compensation for the lower standards. The safety is an issue on this boat. Not enough safety vests for everyone. Some customers had to sit on top of suitcases. Not an interesting business Regards
Bad experience, take Satun Pakbara instead

It was a bad experience. The staff was very rude, his driving was very bad and some of the family members also got hurt couple of times and the driver refused to slow down after complaints of the water being rougher than normal. I would any day suggest Bundhaya speed boat service rather than Satun Pakbara. Satun Pakbara was better is every possible way.
Overpriced but fast

I think it's a little overpriced for Thailand but I couldn't find many alternatives. Otherwise fairly straightforward. Picked up at hotel on time. Dropped off at the pier. Got on the boat. Disembarked at the pier.
Never happened

We purchased online two days before and were not told that it was no longer available until 4:36pm the next day (9 hrs before departure). We then had to change to a 8am express ferry but had to pay twice (once online and then at the first stop at Phi Phi). We never received refund for the first cancellation. This means in total we paid for three trips! Never again.
Safe and good staff

We had a return from Phuket to ko Lanta on teh speedboat. Going out it was a smaller speedboat with us all sat around the edge. On the return a bigger speedboat with bus like seating all facing forward. Seats were bench like and quite tight when the boat was full bearing in mind generally westerners are a bit larger than the Thai people. Lifejacket for everyone which was good. Fast boats. Both ways we left on time and picked up and dropped off in Phi Phi. Both ways we arrived about 15 minutes late. Arriving safely however is more important. Sea was calm both trips so the ride was pleasant.
