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.
