Not on time at all but I dont think any of these speed boat operators are. Was supposed to leave at 5 pm but left 5:45. Was a fast trip once we got going 30 min over. Crowded and crammed. Don’t expect life jackets that are functional.

The boat was late, which typically happened. Take the earlier boat if you have to be somewhere else.

Boarding the ship was a nightmare! Inadequately organized and quite stressful, especially because everyone wanted to depart from the island on the 6.10.25 as the 7.10.25 was the „sea silence day“. Ship left on time though and we managed to come back to Sanur safely. Most likely a unique experience, but I’d try to avoid taking a ship the day before a sea silence day.

The ride was comfortable and decent. However the boat was a little smaller than what we had expected. Maybe it was because the count of people were low. It was a bit choppy but nothing serious. It was in the morning, so it was okay.

The boat was completely full and boarding started with a little delay. I was super worried because of all the people and that it’s not overloaded. But luckily nothing happened.
