TL;DR
Independent trips to Monkey Island usually go via the Long Phu Tourist pier in Nha Phu Bay, about 15–18 km north of Nha Trang. Boats typically leave in the morning, the crossing takes around 15–20 minutes, and tickets are usually sold as a package including the boat ride.
What the community said
For an independent visit, you do not leave from central Nha Trang port; you need to go to the Long Phu Tourist pier in Nha Phu Bay. Boats to Monkey Island depart from there, and the trip from central Nha Trang by scooter or taxi usually takes about 30–40 minutes.

Boats to the island usually depart in the morning, so it is best to arrive at the pier early, around 8:30–9:00. Return boats are generally in the afternoon; exact times can change with season and weather, so it is best to confirm the same day with Long Phu Tourist.

The boat crossing takes about 15–20 minutes, and the fare is often sold not as a separate ferry ticket but as an admission package including the round-trip boat ride. Before leaving Nha Trang, it is worth checking the final price at the pier and whether there is a separate child rate.
