Fast Boat Service from Bali to Gili Trawangan Lombok Reopens after being hit by bad weather since February 9, 2025. At that time, the fast boat or fast ferry from Padang Bai was operating normally in the morning, then suddenly bad weather came with strong winds and heavy rain. Finally, the departure of the fast boat in the afternoon was forced to be closed for the safety and security of high-speed passenger ship sailings.
Passengers who had checked in tickets at that time had to be transferred to the ferry because they already had hotel bookings in Gili Trawangan. Some also postponed their departure to Gili Trawangan Lombok due to bad weather by returning to Ubud, Kuta, Seminyak and Canggu.
The impact of the extreme weather that occurred in Bali and Lombok, fast boat crossings are temporarily closed from February 9 noon to February 12, 2025. The closure of fast boat sailings is in accordance with a circular from the Class II Pemenang Harbor Master’s office Number: AL.202/17/10/KUPP.PMG-2025 regarding bad weather to postpone the departure of the Fast Boat starting February 9, 2025 at 11.00 WITA until the weather returns to normal.
The delay and opening of fast boat departures still refer to weather conditions for the smooth sailing of Bali Gili Trawangan which remains safe for passenger safety. Seeing from the conditions on February 12, 2025 the weather slowly improved, so that on February 13, 2025 the Bali to Gili Trawangan Lombok Fast Boat Service was reopened. Everyone hopes that the weather in Bali Lombok will improve in the future for crossing activities from Bali to Gilis Lombok or vice versa to run normally.
Coinciding with February 13, 2025 the Bali – Gili Trawangan Lombok fast boat crossing was reopened with the launch of the latest Aluminum Fast Boat from Semaya Group Company. The boat named Semaya Darmajaya Jet fast Ferry made its maiden voyage carrying 200 passengers. Departure at 09.00 AM from Padang Bai Harbor with the destination of Gili Trawangan and Bangsal Lombok. Hopefully, fast boat sailing will remain the best choice for crossing from Bali to Gili Trawangan Lombok with the presence of large boats that can provide comfort for all passengers.
