As the afternoon sun cast a golden glow over Teluk Nare Port, we eagerly awaited the arrival of our guests from the United Kingdom. Jennifer Walters, along with her companions Darren Appel, Grace Thompson, and Edith Thompson, had reached out to us just a day before, their excitement for a seamless journey to Gili Air shining through every message. Their adventure was set to begin with a private speedboat transfer, and from the very first WhatsApp chat, we knew this would be a journey to remember—not just for them, but for us as well.
From First Contact: A Warm Welcome on WhatsApp
It all started with a friendly message: “Hi Lombok Boat, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to place an order with the following details…” Jennifer’s approach was polite and clear, making it easy for us to respond quickly. We replied, “Hello, good afternoon. Thank you for contacting us.” Our team always strives to make every guest feel valued from the very first hello.
Jennifer’s group wanted a private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air for four people, departing at 4:30 pm. We confirmed availability immediately, reassuring her, “Yes, we still have seats available for tomorrow from Teluk Nare to Gili Air at 04.45 pm.” The flexibility of our private service meant we could easily adjust the schedule to suit their plans, and Jennifer appreciated this, replying, “We will arrive at 4:30, if ok?”
“Yes, that’s okay, no problem. We will note the boat for 04.30 pm tomorrow. If you need earlier or after 04.30 pm, that’s okay, because we use private speedboat,” we assured her. This flexibility is something we pride ourselves on, ensuring our guests never feel rushed or restricted by rigid timetables.
Smooth and Simple Booking: Clarity Every Step of the Way
Our booking process is designed to be as straightforward as possible. Jennifer asked, “Shall we message tomorrow afternoon to confirm the time with you? We are visiting the waterfalls first.” We encouraged her to confirm now for peace of mind, and she agreed, “Happy to pay online.”
We requested the names and nationalities of all participants, ensuring everything was in order for their fast boat to Gili. Jennifer promptly provided the details, and we sent a booking confirmation for her to review. “Please check your booking confirmation, is that correct?” we asked, always double-checking to avoid any confusion.
Once everything was confirmed, we sent a secure payment link. Jennifer responded, “All paid, thanks.” We quickly acknowledged, “Thank you, we have received your payment.” The entire process—from initial inquiry to payment—was completed in under 20 minutes, a testament to the efficiency and clarity we strive for with every guest.
Personalized Service: Going the Extra Mile
Our commitment to hospitality doesn’t end with booking. Jennifer mentioned they were staying near Turtle Beach in the northeast of Gili Air and asked, “Can the boat drop us there? Or just at the harbour?” We explained, “We recommend you drop off at Gili Air Harbor, because we cannot be sure of the ebb and flow of the sea water.” Still, we wanted to help, so we checked the location of their accommodation, Melmay, and coordinated with our captain to get them as close as possible.
“We already informed the captain boat, tomorrow they will help you drop off near to hotel location,” we confirmed. Jennifer’s gratitude was clear: “Thank you. That’s great. Appreciated.”
Day of Departure: Seamless Transport to Gili Air
On the day of their journey, Jennifer kept us updated: “We arrive at 4:15. Is that ok?” We replied, “Hello, yes, no problem. Our captain stands by at the counter.” Even when they arrived earlier than expected, we were ready. “Actually, more like 4:05 now as traffic is very good. See you shortly.” Our team quickly relayed the update to the captain, ensuring everything was perfectly timed.
As Jennifer and her family arrived at Teluk Nare Port, our captain greeted them with a warm smile, ready to assist with luggage and make them comfortable. The private speedboat was waiting, sparkling in the afternoon light, promising a swift and scenic journey across the turquoise waters to Gili Air.
