As the sun rose over the tranquil waters of Gili Air, we received a cheerful WhatsApp message from Lisbeth Versteegh and Teun Tramper, a lovely couple from the Netherlands, ready to embark on their next adventure. Their journey with us at LombokBoat.com began with a simple question: how to get from Gili Air to Lombok Airport in time for their afternoon flight. What followed was a seamless, personalized experience—one that highlights the ease, clarity, and warmth we strive to offer every traveler seeking a fast boat to Gili or a smooth transportasi to Gili Trawangan and beyond.
From First Contact: Personalized Service via WhatsApp
Our story with Lisbeth and Teun started with a friendly greeting: “Good day Lisbeth, thank you for contacting us.” We know that travel plans can be stressful, especially when coordinating boat and land transfers. That’s why we always aim to respond quickly and helpfully. Lisbeth let us know, “Hi, we need to go on 12 March from Gili Air to Lombok airport, need to be there at 12pm.”
We immediately calculated the best timing for their transfer, considering the Gili Air to Teluk Nare crossing and the drive to the airport. “Can we pick you up at 10:30 am from Gili Air?” we suggested, explaining, “From Gili Air to Teluk Nare is around 8-10 minutes on the sea, and from Teluk Nare to Lombok airport around 1.5-2 hours on the road.”
Lisbeth replied, “Is it also possible at 9:30am? We are 2 persons.” Flexibility is key for us, so we quickly confirmed, “Yes, that’s possible—pick up at 09:30 am at Gili Air harbour.”
Simple, Transparent Booking Process
We believe booking your tiket kapal from Lombok or Gili Islands should be as easy as sending a message. After confirming their preferred time, we asked for their flight details and names to ensure everything matched their itinerary. Lisbeth provided all the information promptly, and we sent a detailed booking summary for review:
- Private speedboat from Gili Air to Teluk Nare
- 2 pax: Lisbeth Versteegh & Teun Tramper (Netherlands)
- Pick up: 09:30 am, Gili Air Port
- Drop off: Teluk Nare Port (Jun Speedboat)
- 2 large backpacks and 2 smaller ones
We also included a private car transfer from Teluk Nare to Lombok Airport, ensuring a door-to-door experience. Lisbeth asked, “Should we pay cash or on the website?” We replied, “The payment must be online, miss. May we have your email address, please? We will send a payment link for you.”
Within minutes, the booking was confirmed and payment received. We kept Lisbeth and Teun updated at every step, sending reminders and reconfirming details the day before their trip. Our goal is always to provide peace of mind, so travelers can focus on enjoying their journey.
Departure Day: Smooth Sailing and Seamless Transfers
On the morning of March 12th, we sent a friendly reminder: “Good morning Lisbeth Versteegh. We would like to reconfirm for tomorrow. Boat departure 9:30AM, please check in 9:25AM at Harbour Of Gili Air.” We also asked, “How many will you bring suitcases and backpacks?” Lisbeth replied, “Thank you, we will bring 2 large backpacks and 2 smaller ones.”
We made sure everything was ready for their comfort. To avoid any confusion at the harbor, we provided the captain’s contact and a Google Maps link to the meeting point. “If you have trouble finding the boat captain, please contact Mr. Jun. You can also send us a message, and we will be happy to assist you.”

Communication: Our Commitment to Clarity and Support
Throughout the process, we kept the conversation open and supportive. When Lisbeth asked, “How do we recognize the boat?” we reassured her, “We will send the phone number of the captain speedboat on the day. You can contact the captain when you arrive at the harbour.”
On the day of departure, we checked in: “Hi Lisbeth Versteegh, have you met with the captain speedboat?” The reply came quickly: “Yes, we are on the boat!” We responded, “Okay great, thank you miss. The driver already waiting you at Teluk Nare port.”
Arrival and Reflections: A Journey to Remember
After their journey, we reached out to ensure everything went smoothly. Lisbeth’s message warmed our hearts: “Thank you, it was very nice!!” We replied, “You are welcome, we happy hear your experience today.” Later, we followed up, “How was your experience today? Is there anything we could improve for your next visit?” Lisbeth responded, “It was very good, we were very happy!”
