As the sun rose over the tranquil waters of Lombok, we received a friendly WhatsApp message from Paul O’Hagan and Nicola Spalding, two adventurous travelers from Australia. Their journey was already in motion, having spent restful days at Bleu Mathis on Gili Asahan. Now, they were ready for the next chapter: a seamless, private speedboat transfer from Lombok to the Gili Islands, specifically Gili Air. Their request was clear—simplicity, flexibility, and a touch of island magic. This is the story of how we at LombokBoat.com made their fast boat to Gili experience smooth, personal, and unforgettable.
From First Contact: Personalized Service via WhatsApp
Our journey with Paul and Nicola began with a simple greeting: “Good day Paul O’Hagan. May we know when you need doing the trip?” Their reply was warm and direct, “Hiya, we are on Gili Asahan at Bleu Mathis and am wondering if there are any companies that will do a water transport from Gili Asahan to Gili Air on Tuesday if the weather is good?”
We immediately responded, confirming availability and asking for more details. Our approach is always to listen first, ensuring we understand each guest’s unique needs. Paul clarified, “2 plus a few bags, what is the price roughly?” We assured him, “Please wait a moment, we will check first.”
Through this open and responsive communication, we were able to offer several options, including a combination of local boat, private car, and speedboat. Paul appreciated the transparency and flexibility, even as he explored alternatives with his accommodation. Our goal was never to pressure, but to provide clear, honest information and let our guests decide what suited them best.
Flexibility and Clarity: Tailoring the Journey
Paul and Nicola’s travel plans were fluid, shaped by weather and logistics. We understood the importance of flexibility, especially when traveling between islands. When Paul asked, “Is tomorrow too late to book? I will discuss with my current accommodation tomorrow to check the time we will arrive at Teluk Nare?” we reassured him, “Yes, no problem, you can let us know tomorrow. We look forward to your confirmation, sir, and have a nice evening.”
Once they confirmed their preferred route—private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air—we quickly sent a Google Maps pin for the departure point: Jun speed boat, Jl. Raya Senggigi, Malaka, Teluk Nara. This ensured their taxi driver would have no trouble finding us. We also confirmed the drop-off location at Harbour Of Gili Air, checking with our captain to guarantee a smooth arrival, “Depending for the weather, our captain possible drop off till Gili Air Harbour, sir.”

Seamless Booking: Simple, Secure, and Stress-Free
We pride ourselves on making the booking process for fast boat to Gili as easy as possible. After confirming the details, we sent Paul and Nicola a secure online payment link. They appreciated the convenience, “Ok. Thank you for your payment.”
One of the highlights of our service is the ability to adjust departure times. Paul expressed concern about arriving exactly at 1:00 PM due to the long drive from Kores Port. We reassured him, “If you are late, please let us know so we can update the departure time to the boat captain. Departure times can be adjusted according to passenger requests, but please inform us in advance.”
Ultimately, we agreed on a 2:00 PM departure, with check-in at 1:55 PM. Our private speedboat would be ready and waiting, ensuring a relaxed transition from land to sea. This flexibility is what sets our transportasi to Gili Trawangan and Gili Air apart—no rushing, no stress, just smooth sailing.
The Day of Departure: Hospitality in Action
On March 10, 2026, everything was set. Paul and Nicola arrived at Jun speed boat, greeted by our friendly team. Their bags were handled with care, and our captain welcomed them aboard their private speedboat. The weather was perfect, the sea calm—a beautiful day for a crossing from Lombok to Gili Islands.
As the boat glided across the turquoise waters, Paul and Nicola could relax and soak in the scenery, knowing every detail had been taken care of.
