Shared speedboat
- Typical cost

- Time

- Time
- About 30 minutes to Koh Larn
- Notes
- You decide departure time, destinations and how long you stay
A charter is priced per boat, so the cost per person falls as the group grows. We recommend it for groups of four to six or more, families with small children, and anyone who wants to set their own schedule.
Choosing where to go
- Koh Larn: the classic island off Pattaya. Tawaen Beach is lively with shops and activities; Samae and Tien beaches are quieter. Visiting two beaches in one day is easy with a charter
- Koh Sak: a small island before Koh Larn with clear water, good for snorkelling
- Koh Krok: a quiet island beyond Koh Larn for those who want an uncrowded beach
Plan on half a day (about 4 hours) or a full day (about 7 hours). The itinerary can be adjusted up to the day before.
How the day works
- Departure is from Bali Hai Pier in south Pattaya. Hotel pick-up can be arranged
- Meet our staff at the pier, put on life jackets and board
- Arrive at the first beach. Chairs and umbrellas can be rented on the beach
- If you want water sports (banana boat, parasailing and so on), booking them in advance shortens the wait on the day
- The boat brings you back to the pier at the agreed time, which can be adjusted on the day
With a fixed return time, you do not need to worry about the last public ferry.
What to bring and things to know
- Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, towel. Wearing your swimsuit under your clothes is easiest
- Cash (beach food, drinks and chairs are mostly cash only)
- A waterproof pouch for phones and valuables; expect spray on the boat
- If you are prone to seasickness, take medication before boarding
- Departures may be cancelled for safety in bad weather or rough seas. In that case we offer another date or a full refund
- Life jackets are provided for children and non-swimmers
