I'm pretty sure that's the case as well. I recently went to Lanta as someone told me there was a direct boat back to Phuket, when there isn't in low season. Same for Nang. Krabi - PhiPhi - Phuket is the route in low season.

I strongly advise not going to Lanta in the low season, especially not arriving late and with no previously booked accommodation.
