speed-boat transfers
NEW boats in 2008- to get you out to the resort quickly, safely and comfortably.
Whether you are coming in through Phuket or Krabi, the transfer to the resort provides the first chance to take it all in and catch in just one glance, the entire bay. The waters are protected (Phang Nga Bay is a bay after all) and the ride across is normally smooth and a great opportunity for those first few pictures.
transfers from phuket airport
Private limousine or mini bus (depending on number of passengers confirmed) is provided for the short transfer by road (approx. 10-15 minutes) to the Yacht Haven Marina.
The transfer boat departs from the Yacht Haven Marina pier and goes directly to the resort (approx 60 minutes transfer).
transfers from krabi airport
Private limousine or mini bus (depending on number of passengers confirmed) is provided for the approx. 40 minutes transfer by road to the Krabi pier.
The transfer boat departs from the Krabi pier and travels directly to the resort (approx 40 minutes transfer).
transfers from phuket hotels
Private limousine or mini bus (depending on number of passengers confirmed) is provided for the transfer by road from the respective hotels in Phuket to the Yacht Haven Marina.
The transfer boat will leave from the Yacht Haven Marina pier directly to the resort for the approx. 60 minutes transfer.
operating times
Normal daily operating hours for boat transfer: 8:00am to 5:00pm daily
Flight arrivals in either Phuket or Krabi can be met at the airport:
- earliest flight arrival is 8:30am
- latest flight arrival is 4:30pm
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 precludes transfer to the island, The Paradise Koh Yao has an arrangement with Twin Palms (or similar standard hotel) 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.
