Green Planet vs PP Sabai Marine

Both operators score very highly, so the choice is close on pure reputation.

• Green Planet holds a 4.55 average from a larger sample of 534 reviews, with 89.0% of travellers giving 4–5 stars and only 4.7% scoring 1–2 stars.
• PP Sabai Marine edges slightly higher at 4.57 from 332 reviews, with 91.0% positive (4–5 stars) and just 2.1% negative.

Star breakdowns are similarly strong for both: Green Planet shows 70.8% five-star ratings, while PP Sabai Marine has 68.4% five-star ratings. The difference is small enough that route coverage and vehicle type often matter more than the 0.02 rating gap.

Coverage is the biggest practical difference between the two.

• Green Planet operates a much wider network. In addition to shared areas, it alone serves many legs linking Ao Nang, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai, Railay, Krabi and Phuket in both directions (for example Ao Nang–Koh Phi Phi, Phuket–Koh Yao Noi, Krabi–Koh Yao Yai, Railay–Phuket and numerous others).
• PP Sabai Marine focuses more tightly on the Phuket–Koh Phi Phi–Krabi corridor and is the only one of the two listing direct Phuket ↔ Koh Phi Phi and Koh Phi Phi → Krabi services.

Both operators serve the shared areas of Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket and Surat Thani Town, and both run the Phuket → Surat Thani Town route. If your itinerary involves the Koh Yao islands, Railay or multiple Ao Nang connections, Green Planet is usually the only option of the pair. Check exact pier-to-pier schedules on ThailandBoatTickets.com before deciding.

Vehicle choice can affect comfort, speed and how luggage or hotel transfers are handled.

• Green Planet lists the broadest range: Ferry, Longtail boat, Private Speedboat 10pax, Speedboat and Van. Many of their services combine ferry/speedboat legs with van or longtail segments and hotel transfers.
• PP Sabai Marine operates Ferry, Speedboat and Van combinations, typically marketed as Ferry Speedboat services that may include shared van or minibus hotel pick-ups.

If you specifically need a private 10-person speedboat or longtail boat segments, only Green Planet shows those classes in the data. For standard shared speedboat or ferry crossings both can work. Filter by vessel type when you search on ThailandBoatTickets.com so you see exactly what each operator offers on your date.

Yes. The Phuket → Surat Thani Town route is one of the services both Green Planet and PP Sabai Marine operate, and it sits inside their shared service areas of Phuket and Surat Thani Town.

Because the data does not list journey times or exact vessel assignments for this leg, the best way to choose is to compare the available ferry or speedboat options, departure times and any included van transfers on the day you travel. Ratings for both operators remain high overall, so either can be a solid choice when schedules align.

It depends on the exact piers you need.

• PP Sabai Marine is the only one of the two that lists direct services on Phuket → Koh Phi Phi, Koh Phi Phi → Phuket and Koh Phi Phi → Krabi. If those are your required legs, PP Sabai Marine is the clear match within this pair.
• Green Planet covers Ao Nang → Koh Phi Phi and Koh Phi Phi → Ao Nang, plus many other routes in the wider Krabi/Phuket/Yao area, but does not list the same direct Phuket–Phi Phi or Phi Phi–Krabi pairs that PP Sabai Marine does.

Both operators serve Koh Phi Phi as a shared service area, so combined journeys are sometimes possible. Reviewers of PP Sabai Marine frequently praise easy logistics and friendly crew on their speedboat runs, while Green Planet is often noted for punctuality. Search your exact route on ThailandBoatTickets.com to see which operator actually runs the pier pair you need.

Both companies receive strong marks for running organised services, with slightly different emphases in the reviews.

• Green Planet travellers repeatedly highlight punctuality and on-time departures (the phrase “on time” appears in roughly 21 reviews, averaging 4.57). Many mention boats leaving “to the minute” and prompt arrivals. Organisation is also noted positively across their Ferry Speedboat and multi-segment services.
• PP Sabai Marine is consistently described as well-organised with a smooth booking-to-boarding process. Reviewers call transfers “hassle-free” and “well communicated,” and the overall negative rate is very low at just 2.1%.

Neither operator stands out as unreliable in the supplied data; both sit well above 4.5. If sticking to a tight schedule is your top priority, Green Planet’s frequent punctuality mentions may tip the balance. Compare real-time options and read recent feedback on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

Staff friendliness and clear guidance are praised for both operators, with PP Sabai Marine receiving especially frequent mentions.

• PP Sabai Marine reviewers single out helpful, friendly staff and crew. Keywords such as “staff,” “helpful,” “friendly” and “crew” appear across multiple positive reviews (average scores around 4.6–4.67 when mentioned). Clear guidance at the pier and an easy overall process are recurring themes.
• Green Planet feedback focuses more on operational reliability (punctuality and organisation) than on individual staff comments in the supplied summary, though overall sentiment remains broadly positive at 89% four- and five-star ratings.

If a smooth, well-guided boarding experience is important to you, PP Sabai Marine’s review pattern is particularly reassuring. Either way, you can secure tickets and get last-minute boarding tips through ThailandBoatTickets.com and our 24/7 Virtual Ticket Assistant (VTA) on WhatsApp, Instagram DM, LINE, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WeChat Weixin or ChatGPT.

For the Koh Yao islands the choice is straightforward based on route data.

• Green Planet alone operates an extensive set of connections to and from Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai. These include links with Ao Nang, Koh Lanta, Krabi, Phuket, Railay and more (for example Koh Yao Noi → Phuket, Koh Yao Yai → Krabi, Railay → Koh Yao Noi, and many reverse legs).
• PP Sabai Marine does not list any of these Koh Yao routes in the supplied data; its focus remains on the Phuket–Phi Phi–Krabi corridor plus the shared Phuket–Surat Thani Town service.

If your trip involves Koh Yao Noi or Koh Yao Yai, Green Planet is the operator to book within this comparison. Their vehicle mix (including speedboat, ferry, longtail and van segments) also gives more transfer flexibility. Find the exact Green Planet departure you need on ThailandBoatTickets.com.

Start with your exact route, then weigh ratings and vehicle needs.

• Choose PP Sabai Marine if you need direct Phuket ↔ Koh Phi Phi or Koh Phi Phi → Krabi services and prefer an operator with a slightly higher average rating (4.57), very low negatives (2.1%) and frequent praise for friendly crew and hassle-free logistics.
• Choose Green Planet if your itinerary includes Ao Nang, Railay, Koh Yao Noi, Koh Yao Yai or multi-segment transfers, or if you want access to private 10-pax speedboats and longtail boats. It also has a larger review base (534) and strong punctuality feedback at 4.55.
• Both work for the shared Phuket → Surat Thani Town route and operate in the common areas of Koh Phi Phi, Krabi, Phuket and Surat Thani Town.
