OUR DAY CRUISE EXPERIENCE

Your experience with us begins with an 8:00am pick up from your villa or hotel in our air-conditioned vehicle and we will transport you to the Harbor for a 9am start (though as a private charter company we can customize a departure time to best suit you)  before we sail over to the islands of Lembongan, Penida and/or Ceningan, an approximate 55 – 65 minutes away from the mainland.  You will enjoy complimentary snacks, tropical fruits and an array of complimentary chilled beverages as you relax on board listening to ambient music whilst enjoying the spectacular scenery and if we are lucky, some dolphin spotting.

 

Once at one of our private moorings or coves you can snorkel in stunning bays with crystal clear waters, make use of our SUP Boards paddling past beautiful cliff ranges,  do some fun line fishing or loll about on our inflatable pontoon raft.  We are also equipped to additionally arrange Jet Skis at a surcharge if you would like to add this to the mix.

 

After cruising, snorkeling, fishing and swimming you may either enjoy a light lunch on board and/or you could be transported to lunch at Sandy Bay Beach Club – a great spot to enjoy fresh barbecued foods, cocktails and a swim in the oceanfront pool overlooking a beautiful beach, or at Hai Bar & Grill on the white sandy beach of Mushroom Bay, or a traditional Indonesian seafood/meats barbecue at Café Wayan on Celagi Beach in Tamarind Bay.

 

The on-shore lunch option is very popular with our guests as it gives them some island time and adds to the days experience.

 

Following lunch you can take another swim, snorkel, or simply discover the islands beaches and surrounding waters before departing Nusa Lembongan at approximately 4.00pm and arriving back to Serangan Harbour in Bali at approximately 5:00pm for return transfers to your hotel/villa accommodations.

LUNCH ON BOARD/SHORE OPTIONS:

 

For lunch on board you can enjoy a choice of picnic style lunch bites that we prepare from our on-site ‘Temples Café’ that is included in the price.  Most guests have this to munch on during the day regardless of whether or not they also go on shore for a sit down lunch.  We also include a variety of snacks, fruits, water and soft drinks throughout the day. Additional alcohol is also stocked on board and available for purchase to be paid on consumption should you choose.  You may also add on and bring your own snacks, foods, drinks, alcohol at no corkage or surcharge.

 

For onshore venues you can check the venues and menus here and choose which one you like in terms of look, feel and style– all are very reasonable in pricing and worth visiting for some land time.

 

Sandy Bay Beach Club has a great varied menu, is coastal chic and has a great beach vibe on the water with a beachfront pool that you can swim in and enjoy cocktails from. This venue is famous for the cliff views of the Devils Tear. The beach however is usually not a swimming beach as the waves and currents are strong. http://www.sandybaylembongan.com/

 

Hai Bar & Grill – is on the beach and a little more quiet and upmarket. It has a resort pool to use and the beach here is a swimming beach. http://haitidebeachresort.com/hai-bar-and-grill/

 

Cafe Wayan – (no website) – this is a local beachfront Indonesian 2 Storey ‘Robinson Crusoe’ style eatery which serves simple yet delicious and affordable freshly caught grilled seafood & meats (as well as many other options on the menu).  It is one of our guests favorite even though it is very laid back and simple in its décor and style.  Lunch is served upstairs on the open air balcony overlooking Celagi beach in Tamarind Bay. The food and views here are lovely. They also have a small pool should you wish to swim, however the pool is not beachfront.

 

 

HALF DAYS TO *NUSA LEMBONGAN/*PENIDA

Regarding lesser charter time or half day charters to Lembongan/Penida – they can be done and are do-able, however don’t affect the rates by half as many would expect.  Namely because we use the same amount of fuel to reach and return to/from the island destination whether going for a full day or half day or a few hours, all your passenger cruising permit fees remain the same, crew, mooring, anchorage fees and stocking of vessel and equipment costs don’t change, so if time permits it is better to take the full day if that is an option so that everyone can enjoy all the things offered on the days experience.

Please also bear in mind that it is an approximate 2hrs of total travel time (to & from) the snorkeling destination at the islands of Lembongan/Penida so on a half day (4hrs) – two of the hours would be spent getting there and back so will leave you with 2hrs to enjoy the islands and the water sport activities on offer, however will not give you time to disembark on land once at the island.

I know in theory it seems taking less time would equate to a cheaper rate, but unfortunately on a private charter it doesn’t really matter about the time as such.  As explained above, our costs actually remain the same – namely it’s because of the fuel.

Also, as a private charter company and not a public/shared tour company, we dedicate the boat to you for the day so we can’t sell the remaining half day/hours as there is not enough turnaround time in one day between charters to clean and restock the boat, refuel the vessel and prepare the vessel for a new charter and get back to the island for a new set of guests.

HALF DAY (4HRS) MORNING OR SUNSET CRUISE EXPERIENCE AROUND BALI COASTLINE *NUSA DUA & *SANUR COASTLINES (See attached PDF’s)

Our Morning Cruise usually depart at 9:00am and conclude at approximately 1:00pm.  The same activities as going to Nusa Lembongan/Penida are limited because of the destinations we cruise around are different.   You can still swim, fish and enjoy are giant inflatable play mattress/raft, SUP Boarding and do some snorkeling, however these destinations are not known as snorkeling or swimming sites (as are Nusa Penida/Lembongan).  There is also no beach access to alight to should you wish some shore time.

You can also try surfing (outside of Serangan) and depending on which vessel you take, waterskiing and wakeboarding or inner tubing –  or you can simply enjoy relaxing on the waters and enjoy the Bali coastline scenery.

Our SUNSET CRUISES usually depart at 4:00pm and conclude at 8:00pm which is usually  more than enough time for a sunset cruise in this area because of the limited water activity available.

 

Our Sunset Cruise typically unfolds as such:

 

In general this special evening begins with a complimentary glass of champagne on arrival as you are escorted on board the yacht. With a chilled drink in hand and a front row seat on the dazzling yachts bow or fly-bridge, you can indulge in all the yacht offers before setting sail to view Bali’s mesmerizing sunset, mountain and coastal vistas.

 

This experience will take you through the Sanur and Nusa Dua waters on a gentle 4hr cruise as the sun prepares to set beneath the twinkling lights of the harbor. If you wish, we can cater for delicious canapés and gourmet bites to be served as ambient music is played through our state of the art sound system setting the perfect scene to compliment your special occasion to enjoy as the sun casts its glow over the island.
