Main ferry journey was fine. Big boat, quite empty, plenty of life jackets. We travelled from Serangan to Gili Air. We were told at check in to go to Lombok to get a speed boat to Gili Air. They took our photo for the shuttle boat. Arrived at Lombok and fella on the boat said that the speedboat left from Gili T. Once of the dock at Lombok two small guys with about six other people had our photo and repeatedly said "your ticket paid for public boat which may not go as need forty people now it's quiet" even though we did have a tag saying fast boat. We were then pressured into and SCAMMED onto a small rubbish boat where we were asked to pay 150k for the transfer across and then the small man who had our photo kept 50k for himself. They created chaos through the number of people crowding us, language barrier and time pressure. Fully taking advantage of us being tourists and unsure what was going on, where or when normal boats would go from. The small boat journey was BAD as the boat was taking on a lot of water from underneath and the person sailing it had no idea how to use an outboard motor as the prop kept coming out of the water. AVOID AT ALL COST AND WE WILL BE DEMANDING A REFUND!!!

We were unduly worried about our trip to Gili Air. Gili Gili fastboat came across as very professional and in no way did we feel uncomfortable. Please remember they cannot control the weather or when the harbor master stops the fast boats from going out. I had an idea that the captain of our boat was purposely hugging the coast to make our journey as comfortable as possible. I was glad though that we had taken motion sickness tablets since it was quite rough between Bali and Lombok.
