About the Langkawi to Satun Ferry
Langkawi Ferry Services operates 12 high speed ferries on a total of 5 routes between various destinations in Malaysia and Thailand.

All Langkawi Ferry Services vessels have enclosed cabins which are air-conditioned. The ferries all have toilets but no outside areas where you can go during the voyage. There is also nowhere to buy food or drink on these ferries so remember to bring anything you need for the journey with you from the ferry terminal before the ferry departs.

All passengers on ferries between Langkawi and Satun have allocated seats. The seating is fairly cramped but alright for the fairly short time it takes to cross between Langkawi and Satun.

These ferries are not particularly punctual in their departure times, particularly from Langkawi. The hold up is passengers clearing immigration before they board the ferry. The immigration officials at Kuah Jetty in particular have a tendency of opening the immigration desks up late which means a delay in processing the passengers wanting to board the ferry. Allow 30 minutes extra on the journey time on these services to allow for any delays, particularly if you have onward connections.
