As the sun rose over the lush hills of Kuta Lombok, our team at LombokBoat.com was already buzzing with excitement. We were preparing for a special journey: the Medina and Jolley families, all the way from Gibraltar, were about to experience a seamless private transfer from the tranquil shores of Kuta to the vibrant island of Gili Trawangan. Their adventure would be a day to remember, and we were honored to be their trusted guide for this private speedboat and car transfer—crafted for comfort, clarity, and unforgettable memories.
From WhatsApp to Waves: A Journey Begins
Our story with the Medina and Jolley families began, as many do, with a simple WhatsApp message. Neal Medina reached out, his tone friendly and organized, confirming the date for their Gili Islands adventure: July 16th, 2025. We quickly responded, eager to ensure every detail was perfect. The conversation flowed easily, with Neal sharing, “It’s just a day trip, small bags, 2/3 satchels.” This detail helped us plan the most comfortable and efficient transport for their group of four adults and two children, aged 4 and 6.
We pride ourselves on clear, helpful communication, and this booking was no exception. When Neal asked, “The car and the boat is only for my family, no one else correct?” we reassured him, “Yes, the car and speedboat is private, not shared.” This peace of mind is what sets our private fast boat to Gili service apart—exclusivity, flexibility, and a personal touch from start to finish.
Simple Booking, Seamless Planning
Our booking process is designed to be as smooth as the Lombok seas. After confirming the group’s details and travel preferences, we provided a clear itinerary:
- Pickup: Novotel Lombok Resort and Villas, Mandalika Resort, Pantai Putri Nyale, Kuta
- Departure: 8:30 AM, July 16th, 2025
- Transport: Private car to Teluk Nare Harbour (approx. 2 hours)
- Boat: Private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan (approx. 10 minutes)
- Return: Pickup from Gili Trawangan Harbour at 5:00 PM, drop-off back at their hotel
Neal appreciated the clarity, asking, “How long is the trip from hotel to Gili Trawangan?” We replied promptly, “Transport from your hotel to Teluk Nare harbour is around 2 hours on the road, and speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Trawangan harbour is around 10 minutes on the sea.”
We confirmed all names and details, ensuring everything matched their expectations. When Neal asked about the return time, we offered options, “Do you want back from Gili at 5:00 or 6:00 pm?” This flexibility allowed them to make the most of their island day.
Personal Touches and Reassurance
As the booking was finalized, we sent a detailed confirmation and payment link. Once payment was received, we reconfirmed every detail, right down to the room numbers—401 and 402—so our driver could greet them personally at the Novotel Lombok Resort and Villas. The morning before departure, we sent a friendly reminder: “Please be ready at 8:25 AM. Looking forward for your confirmation soon. Thank you.”
On the day of travel, Neal messaged, “Hi good morning, we are here waiting.” We responded immediately, “Hello, good morning, please wait a moment, we will call our driver.” Our team coordinated in real-time, ensuring the family was comfortably settled in their private car before setting off for Teluk Nare Harbour.

Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, our private speedboat awaited. The children’s eyes sparkled with excitement as they boarded, the gentle sea breeze promising a quick, comfortable crossing.

The driver will be waiting on Teluk Nare Harbour.” Our team was on standby, ready to assist with any questions or last-minute needs.
The return speedboat ride was smooth and swift, and our driver greeted the family at Teluk Nare for the comfortable journey back to Novotel Lombok Resort and Villas. As always, we ensured every step was easy, safe, and enjoyable—so our guests could focus on making memories, not managing logistics.
