On July 24, 2002, Seatran established a new company called Seatran Ferry, with the main goal of offering local and foreign people a new and better transportation alternative to Samui and the islands. The key was to provide improved quality and the maximum degree of safety at a reasonable price and to facilitate the removal of traffic congestion between Samui and the mainland, which was a big setback in the growth of Samui's tourism industry.
Seatran cruises between Koh Samui, Koh Tao, Donsak (Surat Thani) and Koh Phangan.
Cruise duration between Koh Samui and Koh Phangan is 30 minutes, and between Koh Tao and Koh Phangan is 1 hour and a half.
