It was a bright December morning when we received a WhatsApp message from Jaroslav Kortan, reaching out from the heart of the Czech Republic. Alongside his travel companions—Vaclav Kortan, Anna Neumannova, and Petr Neumann—Jaroslav was planning a seamless journey from the tranquil JM Hotel in Kuta Lombok to the sun-kissed shores of Gili Trawangan. Their adventure would include a private car transfer, a swift speedboat ride, and the promise of turquoise waters. As always, our mission at LombokBoat.com was to ensure every detail was handled with care, clarity, and a touch of Lombok hospitality. This is the story of how we made their dream of a fast boat to Gili a reality, turning travel logistics into a memorable part of their Indonesian holiday.
From WhatsApp to Waves: A Journey Begins
Our first interaction with Jaroslav was warm and straightforward. He reached out via WhatsApp, sharing his group’s details and travel aspirations. We quickly confirmed the essentials: a private car would collect them at 8:30 am from JM Hotel Kuta Lombok, and a private speedboat—Jun Speedboat—would be ready at Teluk Nare for a 10:30 am departure to Gili Trawangan. The group, traveling with four suitcases and four backpacks, appreciated our attention to these practical details.
Clear Communication, Every Step of the Way
We believe that great journeys start with great communication. Throughout our WhatsApp chat, we made sure every question was answered promptly and every concern addressed. When Jaroslav asked, “Can I pay the deposit by card?” we replied, “Yes, that’s possible—pay with credit card on our website.” Even when a payment hiccup occurred, we responded with patience and solutions:
- Jaroslav: The payment didn’t go through.
- Our Team: Can you send us the screenshot, please? We will follow up with our payment gateway.
After a few minutes and a retry, the deposit was received. We updated Jaroslav immediately, confirming both the car and speedboat bookings. Our goal was to make the process of booking a tiket kapal from Lombok as smooth as the sea on a calm morning.
Personalized Arrangements for a Stress-Free Transfer
We know that every traveler’s needs are unique. For Jaroslav’s group, we double-checked the vehicle size to ensure comfort for both passengers and luggage. “Is 1 car like an Avanza enough?” we asked. Jaroslav confirmed, and we made a note to ensure the car was ready and spacious for their four suitcases and four backpacks.
On the morning of December 3rd, we sent a friendly reminder: “The driver will pick you up at 8:30 AM at JM Hotel Kuta Lombok. Please be ready.” We even asked for their room numbers to make the pick-up seamless. Jaroslav replied promptly, “My room 216, 215, 214. We will have four suitcases and four backpacks.”
Real-Time Support and Reassurance
As the day began, we checked in: “Hi Jaroslav Kortan, have you met with the driver?” His cheerful response—“We are already on our way.😉”—brought a smile to our team. We love being part of these moments, ensuring that transportasi to Gili Trawangan is not just reliable, but also enjoyable.
Private Speedboat: The Fastest Way from Lombok to Gili Islands
Arriving at Teluk Nare, our guests were greeted by the crew of Jun Speedboat. The private speedboat was ready, offering a swift and comfortable crossing to Gili Trawangan. With the sun glinting off the water and the promise of adventure ahead, the group settled in for a journey that would take them from Lombok to Gili Islands in style.
| Step | Details |
|---|---|
| Pick-Up | 08:30 AM, JM Hotel Kuta Lombok |

Our private speedboat service is designed for those who value time, comfort, and privacy. No waiting in long lines, no crowded boats—just a direct, scenic ride across the Lombok Strait. For Jaroslav and friends, it was the perfect way to start their Gili adventure.
Flexibility and Extra Assistance: Beyond the Boat Ride
Our service doesn’t end at the water’s edge. During the booking process, Jaroslav inquired about onward travel from Gili Trawangan to Padang Bai and Munduk. We provided detailed options for fast boat to Gili and beyond, including schedules and private car transfers. Even when plans changed, we adapted quickly, offering alternatives and transparent information.
- “May we help you make booking fast boat from Gili Trawangan to Padang Bai on 06 Dec + private drop off to Munduk?”
- “That’s expensive, I’ll go to Padang Bay.”
- “Okay sir, which one do you prefer for the boat from Gili Trawangan to Padang Bai?”
Our flexibility and willingness to assist with every leg of the journey set us apart. Whether it’s arranging a tiket kapal from Lombok or helping with transport to Munduk, we’re here to make travel easy and enjoyable.
Arrival in Paradise: Gili Trawangan Awaits
As the speedboat docked at Gili Trawangan Port, Jaroslav and his group stepped onto the island, greeted by the gentle sea breeze and the vibrant energy of the Gilis. Their journey from Lombok to Gili Islands had been smooth, efficient, and filled with friendly support at every turn.
We checked in one last time: “Thank you for using our service.” Jaroslav’s reply was simple but heartfelt: “Thank you.” For us, these words are the best reward—a sign that we’ve delivered on our promise of hassle-free, memorable travel.
