Best Season for Phu Quoc Ferry Trips
Phu Quoc ferries run all year, but the wind season from October to February can bring large waves and canceled or rescheduled sailings. The Gulf of Thailand is generally calmer than the East Sea, and catamarans handle moderate swells better than monohulls.
Peak periods run from June to August, on weekends and on holidays such as April 30, May 1, September 2 and Tet. Book 7 to 14 days ahead for these dates. Thanh Thoi tickets are non-refundable, and a canceled sailing is exchanged for a suitable departure.
