Best Season for Phu Quy Ferry Trips

From October to February, the northeast monsoon brings higher waves across the 104 km passage. Rougher conditions can prompt weather delays. Catamarans from Phu Quoc Express, Phu Quy Express and Chan Kha Luxury offer greater stability than monohulls during swells. When sailings are canceled for weather, operators provide a 100 percent refund or free date change. Take motion-sickness tablets 30 to 60 minutes before boarding if needed.
