The east-coast jumping-off point for Tioman, Rawa and the Johor islands: two ferry operators (Bluewater Ferry and Cataferry) run the 2-2.5 hour crossing to Tioman (RM60 local / RM75 foreigner one-way), with speedboats to Rawa in 20 minutes. Sailings are tide-dependent, capped around five a day, and stop altogether in the November-February monsoon. Marine park fees (RM5 local / RM30 foreigner) apply. Buy return tickets — the islands have no rebooking counters.

Gateway to Tioman and Rawa
Mersing Jetty concentrates essentially all sea access to Johor's east-coast islands: the twin ferry operators Bluewater and Cataferry run the 2-2.5 hour crossing to Tioman's five jetties (Genting, Paya, Tekek, Air Batang, Salang), while Rawa's 20-minute speedboat service is tied to the island's resort, and Pulau Besar (Johor) lies 30-45 minutes out.
Tides, Monsoon and the Five-Sailing Day
Departure times float with the tide — rarely more than five sailings a day, and times shift day to day. From November to February the northeast monsoon routinely halts services. The practical rhythm: confirm tomorrow's sailing time the evening before, then exchange online tickets for boarding passes at Mersing Harbour Centre (8:00-19:00) before the queue builds.
Practical Rules of the Jetty
