From the moment Matheus Bonato de Almeida and Marina Cardoso Araújo reached out to us from Brazil, their journey to the Gili Islands was destined to be seamless and memorable. Their first message arrived on WhatsApp one quiet evening, filled with excitement and a touch of curiosity: “Hello! I am looking for a private boat to take me from Senggigi to Gili Trawangan. This will be on May 12th.” We knew right away that we wanted to make their dream of a smooth, private transfer come true, and so began a warm and detailed conversation that would set the tone for their entire experience with LombokBoat.com.
Personalized Planning: From WhatsApp to the Waves
Our approach is always to listen first. Matheus and Marina shared their travel details, including their stay at Kalandara Resort in Senggigi and their destination, Cocana in Gili Trawangan. Their main wish was clear: a private, direct, and convenient transfer. We responded promptly, confirming their hotel details and exploring every possible route to ensure the best experience.
Flexibility and Honest Guidance
When Matheus asked, “Are you able to pick up and drop off close to the hotel in both locations?” we explained the options transparently. While a direct boat from the hotel wasn’t possible, we offered a comfortable private car transfer to Teluk Nare Port, followed by a private speedboat to Gili Trawangan. We also checked with our captain about alternative pickup points, ensuring every possibility was explored. Our goal was to provide the most efficient and enjoyable route, and Matheus appreciated our thoroughness: “I think your second option is better, it won’t be that different in time duration, what do you think?”
- Private car transfer from Kalandara Resort to Teluk Nare Port
- Private speedboat from Teluk Nare Port to Gili Trawangan Harbor
- Clear, step-by-step communication throughout the process
Simple Booking, Clear Information, and Total Convenience
We believe booking your fast boat to Gili should be as relaxing as the journey itself. Once Matheus and Marina confirmed their preference, we collected their details and sent a secure payment link. We made sure to answer every question, from “And then it’s a private boat so it won’t be late right?” to “Would I be able to change the departure time slightly once we are closer to the day?” Our answer was always reassuring: “Yes, that’s possible. Please confirm with us one day before departure date.”

The Day of Departure: Effortless Transfers and Warm Hospitality
On May 12th, everything was set. We reconfirmed the pickup time with Matheus and Marina, adjusting it to 12:05 PM to match their checkout. Our driver arrived promptly at Kalandara Resort, ready to whisk them away in comfort to Teluk Nare Port. Throughout the morning, we stayed in touch, ensuring they felt supported every step of the way.
Upon arrival at Teluk Nare, our captain was waiting at The Princess Boat dock, ready to welcome them aboard their private speedboat. The sea was calm, the sun was shining, and within just 10 minutes, they were gliding across the turquoise waters—just the two of them, no crowds, no waiting. This is the true meaning of private transportasi to Gili Trawangan.
Arrival in Paradise
By 12:40 PM, Matheus and Marina stepped onto the sands of Gili Trawangan Harbor, greeted by the island’s vibrant energy and the promise of new adventures. We checked in one last time: “How was your experience today? Is there anything we could improve for your next visit?” Their feedback was positive, and we were delighted to have played a part in their unforgettable journey from Lombok to Gili Islands.
