About The Angkal Fastboat

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 The Angkal Fastboat can be booked online – in an easy and hassle-free manner, without wasting your time visiting the booking office.

The Angkal Fastboat 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.

The coordinates that they gave were wrong and I had to search their place by myself. If I had little less time I would stay at Nusa penida for another day.

The trip went well, that's why I traveled again with the same company. But I don't think it's right that they tell you that you can't go upstairs, unless you tip them. Then you can. They are not punctual.

I recommend this company. Everything went very well, arriving 1 hour early I was still able to board and barely 20 minutes later I was in nusa penida????

The fast boat was very full and we found that some people didn't want to move to make room for others to sit down. There were no fans or aircon so it was very uncomfortable on the boat with so many people onboard. We went with another company on return to Sanur and they had fans/aircon which really helped. It was very confusing how our luggage was going to be transported as we were told with minimal direction that our luggages needed to be left with the staff as we were walking towards the pier. There were no tags put on them and many other fast boat companies leaving at the same time. Luckily there were no issues and our luggage turned up at the correct boat with us but it was concerning at the time how everything was being organised.

The ship was not very full. The trip departed ahead of schedule. The travel time was on schedule and we arrived ahead of schedule as well. We went in the back of the ship with a nice breeze the whole time. We would repeat

The experience was positive. We arrived at the agency office where we were provided with tickets and company badges. Twenty minutes before departure we were assembled and neatly led to the port, where the boat was waiting for us. We left 5 minutes late, but the trip took longer than the advertised 30 minutes, in fact we arrived in Nusa Penida at least 50 minutes later. The trip itself went well (compared to what we read on the web before we left), maybe we were lucky because the sea was calm or because the weather was nice, who knows!

Good organization at the harbour. The ferry office is at the parking space. There you get the tickets and wait with the other passengers. All together you walk with the operator to the ferry. The ferry is relative new but there was no safety instructions and not enough life wests. In an emergency you would just die.

Good for what it is, but that’s about it! Acceptable delay (but delay nevertheless). We safely navigated through the rough sea without feeling unsafe at any moment, but it was also an advanced sauna experience in a closed overbooked cabin without ventilators or ac! I remind you these are one of the best ones out there for crossing to Nusa Penida - I wouldn’t even want to try any other company with much worse reviews! :)

The reviews are a bit intimidating but I have to say that overall it was everything as I had hoped, consider 15 minutes delay and the trip takes at least 45 minutes but there are piers at both departure and arrival and no one has to get wet or wet luggage. You get on with your shoes and sit down, the seats are for three people but you get in 2and a half. Overall good service suitable for the price, of course it is not a pleasure boat trip but a fastboat transfer. If you are in a hurry for connections with other means/airports I suggest you consider a large safety margin!

Going from Kusamba port was stress free, not busy like Sanur port is. Set off slightly late, but was loading stuff onto boat. Comfy seats. Not too bad of journey there and back. Sampalan port is nice as well. Would use this again.

Wrong time listed on 12go confirmation. The boat departs daily at 17:00, but 12Go says 16:30. Moreover, the 12Go confirmation says it's a 30-minute journey, but it is always 45-minutes per the staff. Also, the wrong GPS coordinate location is listed for the boarding point on the same 12Go confirmation. As a precaution, I sent the company a WhatsApp several hours earlier to see where to go for boarding (pier, ticket office, or GPS harbor location) but they never responded. The waiting area to board is very hot and crowded with no aircon and only a squat toilet. The boat itself has no toilet for 90+ people on a 45 minute journey, also without aircon. The boat was overcrowded with more people than seats, so several people standing. On the positive side, the boat itself was in good working condition, and the staff were nice and helpful. Also, if you buy the ticket in person they want IDR 200k but only IDR 115k via 12Go. From my observations, these comments likely apply to most other ferry operators and are not necessarily specific to this company. That said, if coming to Bali, do yourself a favor and fly whenever possible. If you must take a ferry, at least the El Ray boat has a toilet.

The trip itself was good. At the port, it was a bit chaotic. We had to look for the stand of the boat to check in. There were no signs and it was crowded so that made it a bit difficult. But after that, the trip went well.

Fine trip to Nusa Penida, fast and nice view. We checked in at the Angkal office and our luggage was carried for us to the boat. Onto the boat we had to walk over some large rocks (kinda scary in case you lose your balance or slip) and then through the water. I had my shoes off and wanted to put them back on on the boat (for hygiene reasons), but they were janked out of my hands and thrown on the floor. They only did this to some travellers, so they may have had a reason but never told me why even though I asked repeatedly.
