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. El Rey Fast Cruise 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 El Rey Fast Cruise?
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.

We reached at the Sanur harbour 1 hour before, then we found that our El Ray boat was not scheduled to go, instead they managed another boat company, named axestone. The boat is almost the same, but started 30mins earlier, which created a bit of panic situation for us.

The ship wasn't operated by this company but by another, which doesn't matter to us as long as we get to our destination. What we didn't like was that it left almost an hour early, because we could have missed it.

The boat was a decent size and had life jackets on board for safety. It was a smooth and a comfortable ride. Didn't face any issues as such.

The boat was old and didn’t have ac. The staff never told us what to do when something goes wrong. Fortunately the sea was calm and it went smooth.

Overall Experience was below average.
Book it as a last resort if you are not getting ticket with other operators.
Seating was too congested. Other operators have 3 seats on one side, El Rey boats had 4. It was very uncomfortable to sit.
Plus other operators send a reminder message a day before along with location of their office where we have to report. There was absolutely zero communication El Rey team.
Not satisfied with their service.

The whole voucher -> ticket -> boarding pass is really inefficient and broken. As is that you can't buy tickets the day of travel.

Need to exchange the online ticket in their office for a "printed" ticket.
The boat was completely crammed, tiny seats, closed windows, no air.
The ride was bumpy even though the sea was quiet
Other companies (for example Glory) were much better

Great boat, smooth journey. Please allow yourself some buffer time as the journey takes longer than the 30 minutes they say. The check-in is 60 minutes early than departure, which is a long wait for no reason.
Other than that, the experience was great!

The onboarding was smoother than other fast oats, and they starting loading large luggage items around half an hour before the boat set off meaning we could depart on time.
The boat itself felt slightly more cramped then other operators but overall the journey was smooth and the service was great.

Everything went really well. I had the worst ideas, but everything went well and was very organized. The suitcases were loaded well and arrived dry. The journey also went smoothly. There was a bit of swell, but that was completely ok. I can recommend this ferry.

A great service from Sanur to Nusa Penida. Left a little bit late but that was because of late customers. Smooth ride, comfortable boat although a bit warm if not by a window due to no AC. The men are so good at handling all the heavy luggage!
