About Eka Jaya Fast Boat

While some islands are now reachable by plane or are connected to the mainland with a bridge, ferries remain the only way to reach some of the most beautiful and amazing islands, hidden beaches, or other seaside destinations. Larger and slower car ferries carry vehicles and passengers around the world, but in certain cases, you will need to opt for a smaller yet faster express high speedboat or catamaran to reach your destination. While the latter does save you time, caution should be taken if you are prone to seasickness. When the sea is, rough high-speed boats which actually cut the waves are a better option than catamarans that ride the waves instead hence turning your journey into a rock-and-roll trip. To prevent or beat motion sickness, we recommend taking a special medication – consult your doctor prior to the journey. While on board, grab a seat on an open-air deck wherever possible.

Ferry trips offered by Eka Jaya Fast Boat can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

Eka Jaya Fast Boat Ferry Types & Tickets Prices

High-speed fast ferries always hit the hardest on your pocket. If you need to save money, check whether some slower options are available on your route – usually the rates are much more affordable. It is a rule of thumb to check the length of the trip before booking. On longer routes, the difference in travel time can be huge. Note that not all ticket fares or classes are always available on any route. During peak seasons it is a good idea to make your booking in advance as the availability of more expensive private cabins is often limited. Opting for walk-in tickets on the most popular routes during these periods can result in long waiting queues. Some destinations have more than one pier or different piers for different ferry companies hence goes the recommendation to check the pier you leave from/dock at before your trip. Leave enough time before the departure to find your boat and check in. These procedures may take up to a couple of hours on international routes. Last but not least, some piers impose their own ‘pier fee’ on all arriving passengers. This fee is normally not included in your ticket price – keep this in mind.

Travel by Ferry: Pros & Cons

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • Taking a ship allows you to get to some of the islands, beaches, or seaside destinations which otherwise cannot be reached. While ferry travels can be time-consuming and sometimes make you suffer from sea sickness, the possibility of visiting the most paradise, secret, off-the-beaten-track destinations they bring you to usually compensates.
  • Ferry tickets can be booked online. It saves you time and secures your travel itinerary goes as planned. The advanced booking option is especially convenient when travelling during peak season periods, national holidays, or long weekends when there is high demand for tickets and on routes served by a limited number of vessels.
  • On some routes, you are able to choose the class of the ticket or cabin. There are private compartments or standard cabins with a number of extras included or not. Always check the conditions of your fare to take most of your trip.
  • Ferry travel is always fun. It allows you to see the places you visit or just pass by from a different angle. The majority of places look terrific – and totally different! – when viewed from the water. Sailing provides a great opportunity to shoot nice and unique pics and videos – do jump at it!

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • The major concern while travelling by water is motion sickness, which is a very annoying and unpleasant thing. Even if you have never experienced it before, there is no guarantee that the next ferry trip will run smoothly as well. Rough seas and speedboat journeys can make even the strongest stomachs beg for mercy. Follow our recommendations above and take your medicine half an hour prior to your trip. Taking a light meal before travel also helps – more chances to get seasick with an empty stomach.
  • Delays and cancellations are common for ferry trips as they highly depend on weather and sea conditions. It especially concerns travel during shoulder months or off-season. Rains, mossy seas, and stormy weather may interfere with your travel itinerary – try to keep it flexible and do not plan tight flight connections even during the ‘usually-good-weather’ season.

We find the ekajaya-station just after ask some people. A little bit busy on the pier but it seems to be organized

The boat arrived 30minutes too late in Gili Meno. There was very little to no information on when the boat would arrive. The ride itself was ok, but very bumpy, a lot of people got sick. But worst of all was arriving in Padang Bai and being harrassed by tens of taxi drivers clinging to you to book a taxi. We could barely reach our luggage because the pier was swarmed with taxi drivers.

The ferry departed 1 hour late, but we are already used to that in South East Asia. We felt safe on the ferry and had enough space. If you want, you can buy drinks on the ship.

12go is very useful to get the right price without any extra charges from local people.Fast booking and easy check-in. Improvement area is the veichle very old and with little space and the overall baggage organization that is a mess when you arrive in Gili.

I arrived 45 minutes early as recommended, showed my tickets, and the onboarding procedure from obtaining boarding permits, tagging baggage, and boarding at the port was smooth. The Lombok strait is known to get rough and we could see the other fastboats struggle in these choppy waters. EKA JAYA, however is the biggest of them all and hence the impact felt is minimal. Professional crew overall (baggage could have been handled better). Anyway, for the money, they are highly recommended for your trip to the Gili islands and back to Bali mainland.

It smelled like petrol on the boat and the crew was constantly trying to sell drinks. Other than that the ferry ride was ok and we got our luggage. Also recommend taking a boat to Sanur or Serangan instead, as Padang Bai is a shithole with a taxi mob. The taxi drivers start bothering you before you even step off the boat and get rude when you don’t want a taxi. They try to scam tourists with the prices and claim that Gojek and Grab is not available in the area. My advice is to arrange a pick up with the hotel or a driver in advance.

Great boat but terrible loud music…. 100db of broken speaker music was definitely not adding anything to the ferry when you were sitting outside

Definitely recommend as a safe and fun method of transport around the islands! Nice to be in the sun & enjoy refreshments on the top deck. Inside is also nice because it’s quiet and has good AC.

You can't get a grab out of this port and the local taxi drivers charge 3 or 4 times the normal price run by the local mafia, we left the port area to get a grab and were chased by guys on mopeds who forced us to pay them to get them to leave. Padang Bai pier is a terrible port use another one

Pleasant. The boat journey was calm, relaxed. Left 20 min. later but we weren’t in a hurry. Keep in mind that you have to pay 10.000 p.p. leaving the pier in Padang Bai and 10.000 p.p. when you arrive at Gili Trawangan pier (in cash)

By far the best of the boats I used in Bali/ Nusa/ Gili. Much bigger boat so doesn't feel choppy even if the sea is a bit rough, great AirCon, lots of outside space on upper deck, food and drinks for sale. Boat departed about 30 mins late, but still arrived in good time, only took about 2.5 hours total. Only criticism was that retrieving the bags when we got off at padang bai was chaotic!

The trip is not 30 minutes but 50. Also they tell you you need to be there 1.5 hour before departure but If you're there 20 min before it's perfect. The "harbor" is little wso no need to leave that early.

Ferry was good but be aware from Nusa Lembongan it does not just stop at Padang Bai before Gili T. It also made two stops at Lombok and then Gili air and Gili Meno first. Took over an hour longer than advertised.

People was drinking heavily, others crying because of stormy sea. Some of the crew members was also taking some beers, and was more concern to sell beer than to take care of safety.

As someone who is sea sick and incredibly nervous I was very hesitant I’m getting this boat. However I was pleasantly surprised, the boat was on time and half full, the sea wasn’t too choppy and so it was an ok experience! Very glad I got this bigger boat, rather than the little speed boats which are downright dangerous!

It was all good and I was happy to be on a bigger boat as there were quite some waves. However, my suggestion would be to turn down the A/C down a bit as it was freezing on board.

Ferry with AC and rest rooms (not always the case with other companies). Expensive fees for the « 100m shuttle » from Gili M. to the ferry..

The overall experience was good. The boat was 30 min late because at the departure time people were still coming inside the boat and we were there earlier in the morning for the checking. So, everything great but they need more organization.

Trip was delayed by 20min, then it took 3.5-4 hours instead of claimed 2. staff "adapted" to loud and rude western tourists and behave like such, drinking beer, smoking, and making rude comments at women. Very loud music on the top deck. Luggage is handled very roughly.

Arrived a little early (1h 45 min while check in starts 1h and 30 min before departure) Pandang bai and was dropped at the shop of the company. We must Check in, according to them while we wanted to have lunch. They were heavily pushing us to check in, so we did. Then we were send to the boat immediately and ended up on another boat tan booked, which arrived one hour later than the one we booked. Probably because it took another route. However, the other boat (which I expect we should have) arrived at the same time, thus also late… please keep in mind that this boat takes longer than estimated and people in padang bai were not very helpful, also you need to pay additional harbour tax (10k per person).
