As the sun dipped low over Lombok’s lush hills, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from a French number. “Hi Lombok Boat, I would like to know about the private speedboat transfer service between Lombok and the Gili Islands.” It was So Johanna Callait and Arthur Salliou, two adventurous travelers eager to experience the magic of Gili Air. Their journey would soon become a story of flexibility, seamless arrangements, and the kind of warm hospitality we love to offer at LombokBoat.com. This is how we helped them glide from Teluk Nare to Gili Air, turning travel uncertainties into a smooth, memorable adventure.
From First Contact: Personalized Service via WhatsApp
Our story began with a flurry of friendly messages. Johanna and Arthur reached out, hoping to secure a private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air for the following day. Their request was clear: “We’d like to go to Gili Air tomorrow at 5-5.30 pm, do you have a boat? For 2 person.”
We replied within a minute, “Yes, we still have seat available sir.” Our team always strives to respond quickly, ensuring every guest feels valued from the very first hello. We also offered an extra touch: “We also provide private car from Lombok airport to Teluk Nare port.”
Johanna and Arthur, ever the efficient travelers, planned to arrive by Grab motorbike for speed. We adapted instantly, confirming their booking for 5:00 pm and reassuring them, “If you arrive later than 5:00 pm you can confirm with us or direct to captain boat because we provide private speedboat.”
Simple, Transparent Booking Process
Our booking process is designed for clarity and ease. We requested their names and nationality for the manifest, and within minutes, received: “So Johanna Callait and Arthur Salliou both French.”
To finalize the reservation, we sent a secure payment link and asked for their email. The response was prompt: “Ok it is paid! Thanks!” We confirmed their payment and sent all the details, including a Google Maps link to Teluk Nare Port and the captain’s contact for extra peace of mind.

Around 1.5 hours on the road from Airport to Teluk Nare harbor. Can we note your trip move to 7.00 or 7.30 pm?”
