confirmation_number Book your crossingTioman SpeedBoat Sdn. Bhd. operates two scheduled routes between Tanjung Gemok jetty in Pahang and Tioman Island, with a crossing time of approximately 60 minutes in each direction. Our outbound route departs daily from Tanjung Gemok and stops at five major jetties on Tioman Island — Kampung Genting, Kampung Paya, Kampung Tekek, Air Batang (ABC), and Kampung Salang. Our return route reverses this circuit, picking up passengers from the same five jetties for the journey back to Tanjung Gemok mainland.
At 56 kilometres of sea distance, the Tanjung Gemok to Tioman crossing is the shortest mainland-to-Tioman route currently in operation — significantly faster than traditional ferries from Mersing in Johor, which typically take 2 hours or more on a longer crossing.
We currently operate two scheduled routes between mainland and island.
Daily morning and afternoon departures from Tanjung Gemok jetty, calling at Genting, Paya, Tekek, Air Batang (ABC), and Salang in sequence. 60-minute open-sea crossing time.

Tioman SpeedBoat operates exclusively from Tanjung Gemok jetty in Pahang. Four measurable advantages for travellers from Klang Valley, Singapore, and surrounding regions.
Tanjung Gemok is approximately 3.5 to 4 hours' drive from Kuala Lumpur via the LPT2 East Coast Highway. The drive to Mersing typically takes 4.5 hours or more on older, more congested roads.
At 56 km, Tanjung Gemok is closer to Tioman Island than Mersing. This translates directly into our 60-minute crossing time — roughly half the duration of Mersing-based ferries.
Combining the shorter drive with the shorter crossing, travellers using Tioman SpeedBoat can reach Tioman Island over 90 minutes faster than via Mersing.
The LPT2 East Coast Highway is newer, less congested, and significantly safer than the routes leading to Mersing.
For travellers from Klang Valley, Genting Highlands, Bentong, Karak, Kuantan, and surrounding Pahang and Selangor regions, the Tanjung Gemok route is the most efficient gateway to Tioman Island.
Both our outbound and return routes serve the following five jetties on Tioman Island, each connecting to a different village or area.
Special charter sailings to other Tioman jetties such as Kampung Juara (east coast), Kampung Mukut (south), and Nipah Bay are available on request — please contact us at +60 19-830 1228 for arrangements.

Tioman SpeedBoat operates daily from 1 March to 31 October each year. Like all ferry services to Tioman Island, our operations are suspended during peak monsoon season (typically 1 November to 28 February) in compliance with Malaysian Marine Department safety regulations.
We do not accept bookings for dates within the monsoon suspension period. Daily sailings resume on 1 March each year.
For travellers planning trips towards the end of the season (late October), we strongly recommend booking your return well in advance, as final sailings of the year typically sell out two to three weeks before suspension.
Tioman SpeedBoat Sdn. Bhd. operates two scheduled routes: Tanjung Gemok to Tioman Island (outbound) and Tioman Island to Tanjung Gemok (return). Both routes serve five Tioman jetties — Genting, Paya, Tekek, Air Batang (ABC), and Salang.
The crossing between Tanjung Gemok and Tioman Island takes approximately 60 minutes on Tioman SpeedBoat vessels, in either direction. This is significantly faster than traditional ferries departing from Mersing, which typically take 2 hours or more.
The sea distance from Tanjung Gemok jetty in Pahang to the western jetties of Tioman Island is approximately 56 kilometres.
This depends on your accommodation. Choose Tekek if staying near the airport or central Tioman; Salang for north coast beaches and dive operators; Air Batang (ABC) for budget chalets and a relaxed atmosphere; Genting for family resorts and quiet bays; or Paya for reef snorkelling and beach resorts.
