Arrive before the cutoff. “Counter by” is exactly 20 minutes before departure, calculated from the operator's Pier A counter notice. Reach the pier earlier for queues and boarding. Confirm return-boat boarding deadlines locally.

Check the last boat before you leave the pier. The current operator post lists an 18:00 final Na Baan return and a 17:00 final Tawaen return. Operations can change with the day and sea conditions, so confirm the final sailing at the counter and leave margin.

Boarding
Verify the licensed operator and departure point

We have not verified a current private-speedboat seller or departure point. Check the licensed operator, destination, permitted landing method, total price and return arrangement before relying on a quote.

Wear a life jacket for the whole crossing. Check that a suitable jacket is available before departure. Marine Department staff gave this instruction during a Bali Hai–Koh Larn safety activity reported by Chonburi PRD on 1 May 2026; that dated report does not guarantee equipment on every boat.

Quick answers

Before you board

The fare, departure point and return questions in one place.

How much is the ferry to Koh Larn?

The operator advertised 40฿ per person when checked on 23 August 2026. Buy at the Pier A counter and confirm the fare before travel. An earlier 30-to-40 increase was postponed, so this guide does not publish an unsupported effective date.

Should I wear a life jacket on the ferry?

What time is the last ferry back from Koh Larn?

The operator timetable checked on 23 August 2026 listed 18:00 from Na Baan and 17:00 from Tawaen. Treat those as checked timetable facts, not a guarantee: confirm on the travel day because operations and sea conditions can change.
