About El Rey Fast Cruise

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 El Rey Fast Cruise can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

El Rey Fast Cruise 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 reached at the Sanur harbour 1 hour before, then we found that our El Ray boat was not scheduled to go, instead they managed another boat company, named axestone. The boat is almost the same, but started 30mins earlier, which created a bit of panic situation for us.

The ship wasn't operated by this company but by another, which doesn't matter to us as long as we get to our destination. What we didn't like was that it left almost an hour early, because we could have missed it.

Overall Experience was below average. Book it as a last resort if you are not getting ticket with other operators. Seating was too congested. Other operators have 3 seats on one side, El Rey boats had 4. It was very uncomfortable to sit. Plus other operators send a reminder message a day before along with location of their office where we have to report. There was absolutely zero communication El Rey team. Not satisfied with their service.

The whole voucher -> ticket -> boarding pass is really inefficient and broken. As is that you can't buy tickets the day of travel.

Need to exchange the online ticket in their office for a "printed" ticket. The boat was completely crammed, tiny seats, closed windows, no air. The ride was bumpy even though the sea was quiet Other companies (for example Glory) were much better

Great boat, smooth journey. Please allow yourself some buffer time as the journey takes longer than the 30 minutes they say. The check-in is 60 minutes early than departure, which is a long wait for no reason. Other than that, the experience was great!

The onboarding was smoother than other fast oats, and they starting loading large luggage items around half an hour before the boat set off meaning we could depart on time. The boat itself felt slightly more cramped then other operators but overall the journey was smooth and the service was great.

Es hat alles super geklappt. Ich hatte die schlimmsten Vorstellungen, aber es lief alles gut und war sehr organisiert. Die Koffer wurden gut verladen und sind trocken angekommen. Die Fahrt lief auch reibungslos. Es war etwas Wellengang, aber das war völlig ok. Ich kann diese Fähre empfehlen.

A great service from Sanur to Nusa Penida. Left a little bit late but that was because of late customers. Smooth ride, comfortable boat although a bit warm if not by a window due to no AC. The men are so good at handling all the heavy luggage!
