Operating times
Normal daily operating hours for boat transfer: 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. Flight arrivals in either Phuket or Krabi can be met at the airport:
- We can pick you up at the airport after 6:00am — earliest boat departure is 8:00am
- Latest flight arrival is 4:00pm
Late/Early transfers— outside normal operating hours:
Available on request though weather conditions are key factor for these operations.
Weather conditions (final decision to run transfer is with the boat captain in charge):
Day time – in case of bad weather, transfer to be delayed until suitable conditions prevail
Night transfers – must have fair weather.
Stay over in case of bad weather or late transfers (if not possible to operate)
It is rare that bad weather sets in for any length of time. In the event that poor weather prevents transfer to the island, The Paradise Koh Yao has an arrangement with Twin Palms (or similar standard hotels) in Phuket.
Note: Night transfer in fair weather can be arranged on a case-by-case basis. These transfers are safe but guests may feel uncomfortable with travel by boat at night.
