Serangan to Gili Air

Serangan is one of the most practical departure ports in Bali for the fast boat to Gili Air. The harbour sits at the southern tip of the island, around 20-30 minutes from Ngurah Rai Airport by car, making it a natural fit for travellers flying into Denpasar and heading straight to the Gili Islands.

Marina Fast Ferry runs the only Serangan to Gili Air fast boat service, with one daily departure. Tickets start from €27.50. Every operator on Gilitickets is licensed and has a solid safety record.

Serangan to Gili Air Operator

Marina Fast Ferry is the only operator on Gilitickets running the Serangan to Gili Air route. The vessel is large and stable. The cabin is air-conditioned throughout. It is a reliable choice.
 
The service is not a direct crossing. The boat departs Serangan, calls at Nusa Penida and Gili Trawangan, and docks at Gili Air. Passengers travelling to Gili Air stay on board through both intermediate stops. The total journey time of around 3 hours 15 minutes reflects the route, not the speed of the vessel.
 
Port taxes are not included in the ticket price and are paid separately at Serangan Harbour on the day of departure. Bring some Indonesian Rupiah to cover this at the port.
