Who we are

A fully Malaysian-owned ferry operator built for speed and comfort

Tioman SpeedBoat Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian ferry operator running daily speedboat crossings between Tanjung Gemok jetty in Pahang and Tioman Island — with a crossing time of just 90 minutes. Launched in May 2026, we operate two full-cabin speedboats with 36 seats each, serving five major jetties on Tioman: Genting, Paya, Tekek, Air Batang (ABC), and Salang.

At 90 minutes, our crossing is approximately half the duration of traditional ferries from Mersing, which typically take 2 hours or more. Whether you're travelling from Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, or Johor Bahru, our Tanjung Gemok departure point combined with our high-speed vessels offers the fastest route to Tioman Island.

We are headquartered in Pahang, Malaysia, and our home port is Tanjung Gemok jetty — the closest mainland jetty to Tioman Island, located just 52 kilometres from the island's western coast. Tioman SpeedBoat is licensed and regulated by the Marine Department of Malaysia (Jabatan Laut Malaysia) and operates in compliance with Malaysian maritime safety standards.

Why we chose Tg Gemok

A shorter, smoother path to the island

Four reasons we operate from Tanjung Gemok jetty in Pahang rather than the older Mersing terminal in Johor.
