How long is the ferry to Phu Quoc?

The fast ferry from Rach Gia takes about 2 hours 30 minutes. The Ha Tien fast ferry takes about 1 hour 15 minutes. Slow car ferries (vehicle-carrying) take 3.5–4 hours from either port.

How much is the ferry to Phu Quoc in 2026?

Fast ferry from Rach Gia: 340,000–390,000 VND (about $14–$16). From Ha Tien: 250,000–280,000 VND ($10–$12). Vehicle ferries cost roughly 2x for passengers and add a per-vehicle fee of 200,000–500,000 VND for a motorbike.

Can I bring my own motorbike on the ferry?

Yes, on the slow car ferries operated by Thanh Thoi from Ha Tien and by Phu Quoc Express from Rach Gia. Fast catamarans are passenger-only. Cost is 200,000–500,000 VND per motorbike depending on size.

Should I take the ferry or fly to Phu Quoc?

For most travelers, fly. Domestic flights from Saigon are 700,000–1,500,000 VND and take 50 minutes door-to-door. Ferries make sense if you want to bring your own bike, are already in the Mekong Delta, or specifically want the boat experience.

Are ferries cancelled in monsoon season?

Yes, occasionally. Rough seas in June–September cancel 5–15% of ferry departures. Ha Tien route is more sheltered and cancels less often than Rach Gia. Always check the night before and have a flight as backup.

Ferry to Phu Quoc 2026 — Schedule, Prices & Bike Transport

By Alex Nguyen · Published 2026-04-19 · 6 min read

Three ports on the mainland connect to Phu Quoc by sea: Rach Gia, Ha Tien, and (for cars and trucks only) Hon Chong. Two operators dominate the passenger fast-ferry market — Superdong and Phu Quoc Express. After taking each route at least four times, here is the honest breakdown.

The two routes that matter

Rach Gia → Phu Quoc (Bai Vong port)

Distance: ~120 km open sea
Duration: 2 h 30 min on the fast catamaran
Daily departures (2026): 7:00, 7:30, 8:00, 9:30, 12:30, 13:00 (Superdong) — confirm at port the day before
Price: 340,000–390,000 VND (~$14–$16) one way
Sea conditions: Open sea, can be rough November–February (NE wind) and June–September (SW monsoon). Bring motion-sickness pills.
Onboard: AC, assigned seats, small snack counter, bathrooms.

Ha Tien → Phu Quoc (Bai Vong port)

Distance: ~45 km, sheltered by smaller islands
Duration: 1 h 15 min on the fast ferry
Daily departures (2026): 7:45, 8:00, 9:30, 11:30, 13:30, 14:30, 15:30
Price: 250,000–280,000 VND (~$10–$12)
Sea conditions: Smoother than Rach Gia almost year-round. Cancellations rare.
Onboard: Same standard — AC, seats, snacks.

Which port to choose

If you are coming from Saigon, take a sleeper bus to Ha Tien (8 hours, 250,000 VND) and the short ferry. If you are doing a Mekong Delta loop and already in Can Tho, Rach Gia is the natural choice. If you have a strong stomach and want the cheapest experience, the slow car ferry from Ha Tien (3.5 hours, 200,000 VND with a motorbike) is unbeatable.

Bringing your own motorbike

Only the slow car ferries (Thanh Thoi from Ha Tien, Phu Quoc Express vehicle service from Rach Gia) accept motorbikes. Fast catamarans do not. Process:

Arrive 90 minutes before departure with your bike registration (xe máy cà vẹt).
Pay the per-bike fee at a separate cargo window: 200,000 VND for a 110cc scooter, up to 500,000 VND for a 250cc+ motorcycle.
Push (do not ride) your bike onto the lower car deck. Crew will tie it down.
Empty the fuel tank to under one quarter — required by harbor regulation.
Carry your helmet and any valuables to the passenger deck. Lockers do not exist.

Honest take: unless you have a sentimental attachment to your bike or are doing a multi-month Vietnam trip, do not bother. Renting a fresh, well-serviced bike from us at the airport costs less than the ferry transport fee plus the hours saved.

Arriving at Bai Vong

Bai Vong port is on the eastern coast of Phu Quoc, about 30 km (45 minutes) from Duong Dong town and the airport. Taxis to Duong Dong cost 350,000–400,000 VND (negotiate). Grab and Be apps work but with limited drivers — wait can be 20+ minutes. The cheapest option is one of the shared xe ôm motorbike taxis lining the exit (60,000–80,000 VND solo to Duong Dong, but you and your luggage on the back of a stranger's scooter).

The smarter option: pre-book a GoBike rental with delivery to Bai Vong port. We meet you at the gate, do the 5-minute paperwork, and you ride to your hotel on your own bike. Free delivery same as airport service.

Cancellations and refunds

Tickets are non-refundable but transferable to another date if rebooked at the office at least 2 hours before departure. If the operator cancels for weather, you get a full refund or free re-booking. Always book through the official Superdong or Phu Quoc Express websites or the port office — third-party booking sites add 30–50% markup and slow refund processing.
