About Eka Jaya Fast Boat
To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Eka Jaya Fast Boat offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Eka Jaya Fast Boat?
The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.
Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel
Pros of Ferry Travel
- To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
- Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
- Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
- Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.
Cons of Ferry Travel
- Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
- Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

The boat arrived 30minutes too late in Gili Meno. There was very little to no information on when the boat would arrive. The ride itself was ok, but very bumpy, a lot of people got sick.
But worst of all was arriving in Padang Bai and being harrassed by tens of taxi drivers clinging to you to book a taxi. We could barely reach our luggage because the pier was swarmed with taxi drivers.

Die Fähre ist mit 1 Stunde Verspätung gestartet, wir sind aber schon daran gewöhnt in Südostasien.
Wir haben uns auf der Fähre sicher gefühlt, hatten genug Platz.
Wer will kann Getränke auf dem Schiff kaufen.

Travelled from Padangbai to Nusa Lembongan. Tickets worked fine and just checked in at the Eya Java check in an hour before

12go is very useful to get the right price without any extra charges from local people.Fast booking and easy check-in. Improvement area is the veichle very old and with little space and the overall baggage organization that is a mess when you arrive in Gili.

I arrived 45 minutes early as recommended, showed my tickets, and the onboarding procedure from obtaining boarding permits, tagging baggage, and boarding at the port was smooth. The Lombok strait is known to get rough and we could see the other fastboats struggle in these choppy waters. EKA JAYA, however is the biggest of them all and hence the impact felt is minimal. Professional crew overall (baggage could have been handled better). Anyway, for the money, they are highly recommended for your trip to the Gili islands and back to Bali mainland.

It smelled like petrol on the boat and the crew was constantly trying to sell drinks. Other than that the ferry ride was ok and we got our luggage. Also recommend taking a boat to Sanur or Serangan instead, as Padang Bai is a shithole with a taxi mob. The taxi drivers start bothering you before you even step off the boat and get rude when you don’t want a taxi. They try to scam tourists with the prices and claim that Gojek and Grab is not available in the area. My advice is to arrange a pick up with the hotel or a driver in advance.

Great boat but terrible loud music…. 100db of broken speaker music was definitely not adding anything to the ferry when you were sitting outside

Definitely recommend as a safe and fun method of transport around the islands! Nice to be in the sun & enjoy refreshments on the top deck. Inside is also nice because it’s quiet and has good AC.

You can't get a grab out of this port and the local taxi drivers charge 3 or 4 times the normal price run by the local mafia, we left the port area to get a grab and were chased by guys on mopeds who forced us to pay them to get them to leave. Padang Bai pier is a terrible port use another one

Pleasant. The boat journey was calm, relaxed. Left 20 min. later but we weren’t in a hurry. Keep in mind that you have to pay 10.000 p.p. leaving the pier in Padang Bai and 10.000 p.p. when you arrive at Gili Trawangan pier (in cash)

By far the best of the boats I used in Bali/ Nusa/ Gili. Much bigger boat so doesn't feel choppy even if the sea is a bit rough, great AirCon, lots of outside space on upper deck, food and drinks for sale. Boat departed about 30 mins late, but still arrived in good time, only took about 2.5 hours total. Only criticism was that retrieving the bags when we got off at padang bai was chaotic!

Ferry Speedboat, Eka Jaya Fast Boat, Mar 29, 2023
The trip is not 30 minutes but 50. Also they tell you you need to be there 1.5 hour before departure but If you're there 20 min before it's perfect. The "harbor" is little wso no need to leave that early.

Ferry was good but be aware from Nusa Lembongan it does not just stop at Padang Bai before Gili T. It also made two stops at Lombok and then Gili air and Gili Meno first. Took over an hour longer than advertised.

People was drinking heavily, others crying because of stormy sea. Some of the crew members was also taking some beers, and was more concern to sell beer than to take care of safety.

As someone who is sea sick and incredibly nervous I was very hesitant I’m getting this boat. However I was pleasantly surprised, the boat was on time and half full, the sea wasn’t too choppy and so it was an ok experience! Very glad I got this bigger boat, rather than the little speed boats which are downright dangerous!

It was all good and I was happy to be on a bigger boat as there were quite some waves. However, my suggestion would be to turn down the A/C down a bit as it was freezing on board.

Ferry with AC and rest rooms (not always the case with other companies).
Expensive fees for the « 100m shuttle » from Gili M. to the ferry..

The trip was supposed to be 2 hours but the ferry took a longer route with Lombok, Senggigi etc ports first and we reached by 4.30 pm instead of 2.30 pm.

There were cockroaches on the boat.
The process of transferring to a smaller boat for Gili Air felt chaotic.

Embarking point in the beach, instead from the pier, this isn't comfortable when you are traveling with luggage
F

The overall experience was good.
The boat was 30 min late because at the departure time people were still coming inside the boat and we were there earlier in the morning for the checking.
So, everything great but they need more organization.

Trip was delayed by 20min, then it took 3.5-4 hours instead of claimed 2.
staff "adapted" to loud and rude western tourists and behave like such, drinking beer, smoking, and making rude comments at women.
Very loud music on the top deck.
Luggage is handled very roughly.

Ferry Speedboat, Eka Jaya Fast Boat, Aug 28, 2022
Arrived a little early (1h 45 min while check in starts 1h and 30 min before departure) Pandang bai and was dropped at the shop of the company. We must Check in, according to them while we wanted to have lunch. They were heavily pushing us to check in, so we did. Then we were send to the boat immediately and ended up on another boat tan booked, which arrived one hour later than the one we booked. Probably because it took another route. However, the other boat (which I expect we should have) arrived at the same time, thus also late… please keep in mind that this boat takes longer than estimated and people in padang bai were not very helpful, also you need to pay additional harbour tax (10k per person).

Confortable boat, good service
