Coast and island

Start with the kind of trip

Ban Phe and departure

Ban Phe is a departure area on the Rayong coast. Ask for the exact pier and meeting time; a place name alone is not a boarding instruction.

Koh Samet crossing

Passenger boat services to Koh Samet are a way to reach the island. Check the operator, landing point, timetable and return separately. Do not assume a private charter is included.

Private coastal outing

If you want a boat for your group, ask an operator whether a private trip is available, where it can go and what the weather plan permits.

  • Where you want to goAn island crossing and a coastal outing have different purposes and conditions.
  • Where you boardRequest the exact pier or meeting point, arrival time and return location in writing.

Weather, island access and terms

Wind, waves and local access rules can change a trip. Confirm the plan for your date rather than assuming a stop or crossing time.

Departure decision

Ask who decides whether the boat can leave and when you will be told.

Island access

Check landing arrangements and whether any protected-area rules or fees apply.

Service and return

Confirm the route, return point and what happens if plans change.

The essentials

Frequently asked questions

Can I book a boat in Rayong through GetnDrive now?

No. Boat offers are not connected here, so this page has no catalog or booking.

Are prices and available dates shown?

No. Those details require a real offer from an operator.

Is a crossing to Koh Samet the same as a private boat rental?

No. Passenger transport to the island and a private trip for your group are different services. Confirm what the operator provides.

Where do boats to Koh Samet leave from?

Ban Phe is a departure area. Ask your operator for the exact pier, landing point and return details.

Can a private trip include Koh Samet?

Only if a specific operator offers it and the route, access and conditions are agreed. This page does not promise such a trip.

Which boat type should I compare?

Consider group size, comfort, distance, weather and boarding access before discussing a vessel with an operator.

Will a sailing catamaran always use its sails?

No. Wind and the captain’s decision determine whether it sails or uses engines.

Can children go on a boat?

Rules vary. Ask about age limits, life jackets and boarding access before paying.

What happens in bad weather?

Ask who decides whether to depart and how changes, postponement or cancellation are handled.
