On a rainy February morning, our WhatsApp pinged with a message from Aigar Orav, an adventurous traveler from Estonia, accompanied by Sally Hanson from the United Kingdom. Their request was simple yet exciting: a private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air, departing around noon. As the clouds gathered over Lombok, we knew this journey would be memorable—not just for our guests, but for us as well. This is the story of how we helped Aigar and Sally experience a seamless, personalized transfer to the Gili Islands, even as the weather tried to test our flexibility and hospitality.
From First Contact: A Smooth Start on WhatsApp
Our journey with Aigar and Sally began with a friendly WhatsApp message:
Aigar: Hello! I would like to go to Gili Air tomorrow with private boat, 2 people, 12PM or 12.30PM. Is this possible?
Us: Hello, good evening! Thank you for contacting us. Yes, that is possible, sir.
We always strive to respond quickly and clearly, ensuring our guests feel welcomed from the very first message. Aigar’s next question was about the ticket price, but before diving into details, we wanted to make sure every aspect of their journey was covered:
Us: Do you need hotel transfer in Lombok also?
Aigar: No. I will come to the port.
We confirmed the departure point—Teluk Nare port—and offered options for parking, showing our attention to every detail:
Us: Do you need to park your car or motorbike at our office? Or come by taxi?
Us: At the moment, can we note the speedboat at 12.15 pm? If you need to come earlier or after 12.15 pm, that’s okay—our captain will wait for you because this trip is private.
Aigar: Yes, I will come with a scooter 🙂
Us: You can park your scooter at our office.
Easy Booking: Flexibility and Clarity Every Step of the Way
We believe booking a fast boat to Gili should be as relaxing as the journey itself. After confirming the names and nationalities of our guests, we moved on to payment options. Aigar asked if he could pay by card, and we were happy to accommodate:
Aigar: Can I pay with card?
Us: Yes, that’s possible. You can pay by credit card.
To make things even easier, we offered a down payment via a secure link, with the rest payable in cash to the captain. When Aigar encountered a hiccup with the payment link, we quickly provided alternatives, including PayPal and direct transfer. Our goal is always to find solutions, not obstacles:
Us: Can you do the payment transfer direct to our account? Or you can use this payment link, sir. That’s possible to pay by card also.
Aigar: Done.
Us: Thank you, we have received your down payment.
We sent a detailed booking confirmation, including the pickup location at Jun Speed Boat, Jl. Raya Senggigi, Malaka, Teluk Nare, and a Google Maps link for easy navigation. Every detail was double-checked, and we made sure Aigar and Sally knew they could park their scooter safely at our office.
Travel Day: Flexibility in the Face of Rain
The morning of February 14th arrived with heavy rain. Aigar messaged us, concerned about being late:
Aigar: I will be a little bit late… I will arrive maybe at 12.40… what address is office for scooter parking?
Us: Hello, that’s okay sir, no problem. You can park your scooter at Jun speed boat, Jl. Raya Senggigi, Malaka, Teluk Nare.
As the rain intensified, Aigar updated us again:
Aigar: Rain so much. I will be there maybe even 1.15. Sorry. So much rain.
Us: Okay, so you will arrive at Teluk Nare port at 01.15 PM, right?
We immediately informed our captain to wait, reassuring Aigar and Sally that their private speedboat from Teluk Nare to Gili Air would be ready whenever they arrived. Our flexibility is one of the reasons guests choose us for their transportasi to Gili Trawangan and the other Gili Islands.
Arrival and Crossing: Seamless, Private, and Personal
Despite the weather, Aigar and Sally arrived safely at our office, parked their scooter, and were greeted by our friendly team. The captain was ready and waiting, as promised. The crossing from Lombok to Gili Islands was smooth and efficient, with the private speedboat offering comfort and privacy—perfect for couples or small groups seeking a personalized experience.
