About the Khao Lak → Phuket Marinas (Ao Por / Boat Lagoon) drive

The marinas sit on Phuket's sheltered east coast. Tell us which one you sail from — Ao Por, Boat Lagoon or Royal Phuket Marina — and we set the drop and time the pickup to your charter or speedboat departure.

The corridor is roughly 92 km and takes about 100 minutes door to door in normal conditions. The fare shown — ฿2,700 — is the price for the whole private vehicle, not per person, and is fixed at booking.

What's included

  • Private air-conditioned vehicle — the whole car is yours
  • Professional English-speaking local driver
  • Door-to-door pickup at your hotel or address
  • Flight tracking for airport pickups — no charge for delays
  • Fixed price at booking — no meter, no surprises
  • Free bottled water and luggage assistance

A private Khao Lak to Phuket marina transfer brings you directly to Ao Por Grand Marina, Royal Phuket Marina (Boat Lagoon), or Leam Hin Pier in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. The drive covers approximately 80 km and takes 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 30 minutes from central Khao Lak.

The Phuket marinas serve as departure points for the Similan Islands liveaboard dive trips, private charter yachts, Phang Nga Bay speedboat tours (including the Krabi 4 Island day trip), and the James Bond Island longtail tour. Timed transfers are essential here — most charters and speedboats depart within a strict 15-minute window.

Khao Lak to Phuket Marina: route, price and timing

  • Distance: 80 km (approximately)
  • Drive time: 1 hour 20 to 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Price: From ฿2,700 for the whole vehicle (one-way)
  • Round-trip: From ฿5,240 (3% combined discount)

Which marina?

There are three main marinas on Phuket’s east coast that serve as departure hubs for inter-island tours:

  • Ao Por Grand Marina — James Bond Island longtail boat tours and some Phang Nga Bay speedboat charters
  • Royal Phuket Marina (Boat Lagoon) — Krabi 4 Island speedboat (departs here), Similan liveaboards, private charter yachts
  • Leam Hin Pier — Some scheduled speedboat services toward Phi Phi and Krabi

Confirm your exact pier with your tour operator or charter company before booking the transfer — the marinas are on the same side of the island but 10–15 km apart, and arriving at the wrong one cannot be quickly corrected once a boat has departed.

Liveaboard dive trips

If you are catching a liveaboard dive boat to the Similan Islands, Richelieu Rock, or the Burma Banks, your boat most likely departs from Royal Phuket Marina. Allow at least 1 hour 45 minutes from your Khao Lak hotel to marina check-in, as dive boats typically have strict no-late-arrivals policies.
