Koh Yao Transfer: Private Van + Speedboat from Phuket 2026
Booking a koh yao transfer is the only way to reach Koh Yao Yai (Phang Nga) or Koh Yao Noi (Phang Nga) directly. However, public ferry from Rassada Pier takes a long time with fixed schedules. Therefore, many travelers chose our private van + speedboat combo for their route.
We provide a complete door-to-pier-to-hotel service. First, we pick you up from your hotel anywhere in Phuket (Phuket) in a Toyota Commuter. Second, we drive to Bang Rong Pier (Phuket). Next, you board a private speedboat for a scenic ride to Koh Yao Yai (Phang Nga) or Koh Yao Noi (Phang Nga). Finally, our island driver drops you at your resort. Your luggage is handled the whole way.
All Pickup & Drop-off Locations We Cover
Unlike public ferries, we offer hotel pickup from every major area in Phuket (Phuket) and direct hotel drop-off on Koh Yao (Phang Nga). Also, the service includes both the land vehicle and the private speedboat.

Drop-off points: Any hotel or pier on Koh Yao Yai (Phang Nga) and Koh Yao Noi (Phang Nga). For example, Santhiya, Six Senses, TreeHouse Villas, or Koh Yao Noi (Phang Nga) main pier.

Why Private Van + Speedboat vs Public Ferry to Koh Yao?
For comparison, public ferry means taxi to Rassada Pier (Phuket), waiting, then a slow journey with a large crowd. This requires significant transit time. Most importantly, ferries stop running in the afternoon.
On the other hand, a koh yao transfer with us includes everything. Also, you get these benefits:
- Hotel Pickup Anywhere: We pick up from Phuket Airport, Patong (Phuket), Kata (Phuket), or any Phuket (Phuket) hotel. No taxis to the pier.
- Private Speedboat: Just your group on the boat. No crowds, no waiting for others.
- Direct to Resort: We drop you at your hotel beach or pier on Koh Yao (Phang Nga). No local songthaew needed.
- Efficient Route from Phuket: Combines a direct land drive and a fast private boat crossing. Ferries take much longer overall.
- Flexible Times: Depart anytime throughout the day. Meanwhile, public ferries operate on a few fixed schedules only.
In conclusion, private transfer saves hours compared to the public ferry workflow and runs flexibly all day. For couples and families, it’s the best value.
