Koh Larn Shared Boats & Water Sports

• Parties of one to three who want to reach Koh Larn without paying for a full charter
• Anyone who wants to know the price of water sports in advance rather than bargain with beach touts
• Travellers who would rather not research the pier and ferry times themselves
• First-time visitors who want advice in Japanese on how to spend the day on the island

For groups of four to six or more, or if you want to set your own departure time and destinations, the private charter on our speedboat charter page is a better fit. Tell us your group and plans and we will suggest which suits you.

From Bali Hai Pier in south Pattaya there are three ways to Koh Larn: the ferry, a shared speedboat or a private speedboat. Our speedboat charter page compares them in detail, so here are just the essentials.

A standard one-way fare of 150 THB was introduced for shared speedboats in 2023, but 2026 reports put the range at around 150 to 300 THB depending on the beach and time of day. Prices can change with fuel costs, so we confirm the current fare and what it includes when you book.

We explain the detailed conditions, such as whether the transfer to Koh Larn is included, when you apply.

These are typical market prices for popular water sports around Koh Larn and Pattaya (as of September 2026). For our prices, see the table above.

Why prices vary

• Whether it is a single ride or a package that includes the boat, hotel transport or other activities
• Location. Koh Larn operators have island running costs, so prices are often set higher than on Pattaya Beach or Jomtien
• Flight length or number of rides, and solo or tandem
• Bargaining. Booking directly on the beach can bring the quoted price down, and early-morning slots are reported to be cheaper

These differences are why you can find both 800 THB and 2,500 THB quoted for parasailing. Our quotes state clearly what is included, and you spend less time waiting and bargaining than when booking on the beach.

1. We confirm the meeting point and time when your booking is finalised. Transport from your hotel to the pier can also be arranged
2. Cross from Bali Hai Pier to Koh Larn on the shared boat. Life jackets are worn on board
3. At the beach, enjoy the water sports we have arranged, one after another. Chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach
4. Free time. Lunch is available at beachside restaurants
5. Return to Pattaya on the agreed boat. There are several departure points on the island, including Na Ban Pier and Tawaen Beach

What we do

• Hear your group size and wishes, then suggest a shared boat or a private charter
• Book seats on the shared boat and the water sports you want
• Quote with what is and is not included shown separately
• Confirm the meeting point, time and return boat. Questions on the day can be sent on LINE

What you need to do

• Tell us how many are joining and the ages of any children
• Be ready in time for the meeting point and check the return boat time
• Pay for anything not in the quote, such as beach food, drinks and chairs
• If you feel unwell or the sea is rough, talk to us about cancelling rather than pushing on

• Life jackets are required for motorised water sports. Check the fit before you set off
• Jet ski renters have long reported being told on return that they caused damage and must pay large repair bills. Photographing the machine from every angle before you ride gives you evidence. If there is a dispute, you can contact the Tourist Police on 1155
• Avoid jet skiing or parasailing after drinking alcohol
• Activities may be cancelled or rescheduled for safety on days with high waves or thunderstorms
• Check before you travel that your travel insurance covers injuries during water sports
• Conditions for children (age, height, weight and so on) differ by activity and operator. Please tell us your children's ages when you book

• Swimsuit (wearing it under your clothes saves changing)
• Towel and a change of clothes
• Sunscreen, hat and sunglasses
• Cash (beach food, chairs, toilets and showers are mostly paid in cash)
• A waterproof phone pouch
• Beach sandals
• Seasickness tablets if you are prone to it

Bring as few valuables as possible, and do not leave them on the beach while you swim. You may prefer to keep your passport in the hotel safe and carry a copy.
