As the sun dipped behind the hills of Lombok, painting the sky in hues of gold and indigo, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from Ned Austin Mulkearns and Isabelle Aurora Rose Brugliera, two adventurous souls from Australia. Their journey had already begun—crossing from Bali by ferry, weaving through the islands, and now seeking a seamless, private speedboat transfer from Teluk Nare to the tranquil shores of Gili Air. Their story, filled with anticipation, flexibility, and a touch of island magic, is a perfect example of how we at LombokBoat.com turn travel dreams into reality, one message at a time.
From First Contact: A Journey Begins on WhatsApp
It all started with a simple, heartfelt inquiry:
“Hi Lombok Boat, I would like to know about the private speedboat transfer service between Lombok and the Gili Air. We think we can arrive in Teluk Nare at about 7pm today. There are two of us.”
We greeted Ned and Isabelle with our signature warmth, “Hello, good afternoon. Thank you for contacting us.” Their request was clear, and our response was immediate: “Yes, that’s possible, sir. May we know where is your destination?”
“Gili Air!” came the reply, brimming with excitement.
Effortless Booking: Clarity, Flexibility, and Support
Our booking process is designed to be as smooth as the Lombok seas. We confirmed the details, “Do you need to take a speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air today at 7:00 pm for 2 people, right?”
“Yes, that is correct.”
With just a few more details—names, country, and email—we were ready to send the payment link. Ned asked, “How much does it cost? And where would departure be?” We provided all the information transparently, ensuring there were no surprises.
But as with any great journey, plans can shift. Ned and Isabelle realized they might arrive later than expected. “Does the private speed boat depart at 7pm or the time we arrive? We may be running late so 8pm might work better.”
Our answer was simple and reassuring: “That’s okay, sir, because we provide private speedboat. Our driver will wait at the harbour until he meets with you.”
Flexibility is at the heart of our service. We adjusted the schedule, updated the booking, and reassured them every step of the way. Even when payment needed to be delayed a couple of hours, we responded, “Yes, that’s possible. We’ll wait for your payment until 5:00 pm.”

Travel Arrangements: Navigating with Ease
Ned and Isabelle’s journey was a true island-hopping adventure. After arriving in Lombok by ferry from Bali, they planned to take a shared taxi to Teluk Nare. We checked in, “Do you have booked shared taxi to Teluk Nare?”
“Yes, a few of us are going the same way. Thank you though.”
We always strive to anticipate our guests’ needs, offering assistance with every leg of the journey, whether it’s arranging a hotel transfer or simply providing reassurance.
Real-Time Support: Adapting to Island Time
As the day unfolded, ferry schedules shifted and traffic ebbed and flowed. Ned kept us updated: “Hi, I have just made payment. I look forward to connecting with the captain regarding our departure time. I appreciate your help and the flexibility timing wise.”
We confirmed, updated the booking, and provided the captain’s contact details for direct communication. “Today, boat departure 8:00 PM. Please check in at 7:55 PM at Teluk Nare Port Kasmir Speedboat.”
But as island time would have it, the ferry ran late. Ned messaged, “We are running slightly late as I thought may be the case. I will confirm the exact time we will arrive soon. I have also told Kasmir this. Thank you!”
Our response was always the same: “Yes, it’s okay, no problem, we will wait for your information.”
Arrival at Teluk Nare: The Final Stretch
After a long day of travel, Ned and Isabelle finally arrived at Teluk Nare Port, greeted by the gentle night breeze and the promise of Gili Air just across the water. Our team and the captain were ready, waiting patiently to ensure their transfer was seamless, no matter the hour.
“Arriving now,” Ned messaged at 9:43 pm. Within minutes, they were on board their private speedboat, gliding across the moonlit sea toward Gili Air.
