AC was broken. Inside smelled like gasoline and cigarettes. They were working on the boat while we were using it so it stopped several times.

The boat left on time but AC was broken and trip took almost 2 hours longer than scheduled. Also water was coming in through the sides of the window as it was choppy.

When i booked the tickets it stated leaving Sanur Port at 13:00 arriving Gili Air 15:15. A direct fast boat. That was not what happened. We arrived at Gili Air at 16:30. If we had known it was going to be a 3.5hr trip we would've been more prepared with beverages and food.
