confirmation_number Book this crossingThe Tanjung Gemok to Tioman SpeedBoat route is a daily 60-minute sea crossing operated by Tioman SpeedBoat Sdn. Bhd. between Tanjung Gemok jetty in Mukim Rompin, Pahang, and five major jetties on Tioman Island. At a sea distance of approximately 56 kilometres, this is the shortest mainland-to-Tioman crossing currently in operation — significantly faster than traditional ferries from Mersing in Johor.
The outbound route makes scheduled stops at Kampung Genting, Kampung Paya, Kampung Tekek, Air Batang (ABC), and Kampung Salang in sequence. Passengers are dropped off at the jetty closest to their accommodation. Total journey time including all jetty stops is approximately 90 to 120 minutes, depending on your final stop.
Tanjung Gemok jetty is located in Mukim Rompin, Pahang state, on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. It is a modern jetty facility with covered waiting areas, ticketing, and parking on site.
The jetty is GPS-locatable as "Jeti Tanjung Gemok" and is well-signposted from the LPT2 East Coast Highway. Detailed driving directions from major Malaysian and Singaporean cities are below.
Stops are made in sequence as the speedboat tracks the western coast of Tioman from south to north. You will be dropped off at the jetty you selected during booking.
The closest jetty to Tanjung Gemok and typically the first stop. Genting is known for family resorts, quiet bays, and a relaxed atmosphere. Suited to travellers seeking a peaceful base.
Famous for shallow reef snorkelling directly accessible from the beach, beachfront resorts, and calm waters. Popular with families and snorkelling-focused travellers.
The island's main administrative hub. Tekek hosts duty-free shopping arcades, the Tioman Airport, banks, ATMs, clinics, the largest concentration of accommodation, and connections to other parts of the island via foot, bicycle, or 4WD taxi.
