About
Koh Samet without the slow ferry — that’s the promise here. Fiamarine runs private speedboats between Ban Phe’s piers and the island’s main beaches, shaving the crossing down to a breezy 15–20 minutes. It’s the move if you’re coming down from Bangkok for a quick escape and don’t want to waste daylight in a queue. Boats can drop at the usual spots around Sai Kaew, Ao Wong Duean, and Ao Phrao depending on sea conditions.
Beyond straight transfers, they also run snorkel runs to the reefs around Samet — think clear water, easy coral gardens, and a couple of fish-filled stops that work for first-timers. Go early if you can; mornings are calmer and you’ll beat the day-tripper rush. Message ahead to line up your pick‑up time and landing beach, and they’ll quote based on route and group size.
On the pier side you’ll meet near the Ban Phe speedboat cluster by Nuanthip and the other ticket counters; on the island, staff usually coordinate via phone before you reach the sand. Travel light, keep your valuables dry, and expect a salty grin when you step off — this is the fastest, most flexible way to hop between the mainland and Samet.
