The Da Nang to Sa Ky port (boats to Ly Son island) route
Catching the boat to Ly Son? Sa Ky port is about 140 km and 2.5 hours from Da Nang, in Binh Son, Quang Ngai, about 20 km north-east of the centre of Quang Ngai city; from here the fast boat to Ly Son island takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
Because the boat time is fixed, the thing to settle is what time to leave so you make the check-in. The 2.5 hours exclude stops, rush hour and weather.
Counting back from the boat time
Pickup = boat time − the check-in time set by the boat company − about 2.5 hours on the road − buffer. An illustration, not a fixed schedule: for a 7:30 boat the car from Da Nang must leave at least 2.5 hours earlier plus the check-in time, which means very early in the night or before dawn; so many people stay near the port or choose a later boat. A driver overnight stay is not part of this price. Detail is in the guide to a car to Sa Ky port for Ly Son island.
Boat times and documents set by the boat company
The route has several fast boats from a few companies, running from about 7:30 to about 15:30 each day; schedules, ticket sales hours and operating conditions change with the season and weather. Take the boat time, check-in time and the documents to carry from the boat company or the port authority on your travel date, then send the boat time to Sun Travel. The storm season can change boat schedules; see planning a car trip in the central Vietnam storm season.
The return and the pickup point
The route rate is one way to the port. The return, car waiting time and pickup when the boat comes back are priced and arranged separately; if the boat changes its schedule, the pickup must be confirmed again. Cars can enter the gates of hotels and resorts to pick up and drop off in Da Nang; the pickup point at the port is set by the port. From Hoi An and from the airport there are separate entries, see the car from Hoi An to Sa Ky port and the car from the airport to Sa Ky port.
Not included in the rate
- Not included: fast boat tickets to Ly Son charged by the boat company, personal meals; extra stops, waiting time beyond the free allowance in the Trip terms and the return direction are not included automatically and will be clearly itemized in our quote.
