About Marina Group

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. Marina Group offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Main Stations of Marina Group?

Marina Group ferries travel to a number of popular destinations. The list of the stations serviced by Marina Group includes but is not limited to:

  • Marina Group Fast Ferry Nusa Penida
  • Gili Trawangan Pier
  • Marina Office Serangan
  • Gili Trawangan Port
  • Serangan Pier

  • Bangsal Pier
  • Bangsal
  • Fast Boat Tickets
  • Nusa Penida Pier

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Marina Group?

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 guy on the desk was really rude. The guy on the port was carrying my bag up and down for no reason , and then he said he wants tip . Dont follow anyone on your boat, just go by yourself. Workers just make you walk up and down in circles in the sun just so you give them tip.

The boat was so uncomfortable. Back seats are not reclineable. Ac was not set to a proper degree. Either it was so hot or so cold. We all got cold. You can't choose your seat. People sit wherever they like. I believe they never clean the seat and holders. Luggage storage was a nightmare. It was like they create lagguages hill at the boat. Who knows where are your lagguages. No order, no discipline, no cleaness, no comfort, no hygiene and high price.

Big ferry, smooth sailing, on time departure, on time arrival. Would be nice to know during the booking process where the ferry will stop and how many stops it will do until my final stop.

The staff was not nice at the check-in area. We were explicity told to be ready 1 hour ahead of departure, but they only opened 45 minutes ahead of departure. They did not appreciate that we booked online and made us pay 25k tax instead of the 10-20k due to ''online'' booking. There was no information given afterwards and they forgot to give us luggage tags which we only received just before going on the boat. The boat was very noisy, I highly recommend using earplugs. No instructions were given. The TV had bad quality. The boat made cracking sounds which made us feel a little uncomfortable. The good part was that the boat was fast moving. We arrived however with 40 minute delay.

Went from bangsal to serangan. Everything went smooth with the boat, we were happy our driver from the hotel did the checking in with us, as bangsal is a little confusing. Watch out for the baggage carriers, they will take your stuff without even asking, just deny firmly. The journey was smooth and the boat was on time, but i still wouldn’t book again, which has nothing to do with Marina group, but with Serangan. They do not allow Grabs or other online taxis on the island and there are many people in blue shirts on scooters, whose only job is to roam the island and send every Grab driver back. We were already in the car and had to get out again, and at least for me that behavior is unacceptable. They wanted to charge us 300.000 rupiahs to go to the airport, the Grab would have been 50.000. We negotiated them down to 180.000 but still we were very annoyed and don’t know how that is allowed by the government.

We were very scared because we’ve seen other companies reviews and videos and we thought the experience was going to be terrible, since I get dizzy very easily. The truth is you could barely notice the boat moving and there was plenty of space available. I truly truly recommend Marina Group!!!

We had a great trip from Lombok to Nusa Penida. The boat was timely and felt safe. There were visible and accesible life jackets. Luckily the boat was big, so we were only minimally disturbed by the waves. Very pleased.

Far from a past boat. Trip from Bali to Lombok is advertised 2hrs, it takes 4hrs. Day was beautiful, calm ocean. Overall everything went smooth. This trip was taken on August 2nd and the boat wasnt full. You can go to the pier directly and buy at the counter. Don't buy from anybody else.

Great boat! Nice & big you don’t feel the waves at all, very good staff friendly & well organised / professional. Offering mints & water for free & there’s a cool drinks menu if you would like to order something else. Boat left exactly on time & took even quicker than expected.

We were very sceptical about the company because it had no reviews but had a seamless journey. The check in process was simple and quick, the boat was on time and there were lots of uniformed staff around to help. The boat itself felt very safe in rough water, would recommend!

Si è rotto il motore durante il viaggio e abbiamo dovuto aspettare che una barca ci soccorresse. Siamo dovuti salire letteralmente a bordo di un'altra imbarcazione in mare aperto. Risultato siamo partiti alle 13.30 e siamo arrivati alle 20. Esperienza da dimenticare. Il personale in compenso è stato molto gentile e cordiale, anche se nessuno ci ha minimamente spiegato cosa stesse accadendo.
