Christine HStaff were good but the ride was so scary. The water was very choppy and wavy making the boat wobble and shake so much. I thought the boat would flip over.

Alexej LPaid for a fast boat, got a slow one, and was told they were the same.
We booked The Tanis Fast Cruise from Gili Air to Nusa Penida, scheduled 08:45 to 10:10. The evening before departure we were moved to the Starfish. I asked in writing how long the replacement takes and the answer was "same time with tanis".
At the counter on the morning of travel we were told the Starfish arrives 11:00 to 11:15. We actually left around 09:00 and arrived at 11:30. That is 150 minutes instead of 85, and 80 minutes later than the service we paid for.
The distance is about 82 km. The schedule we paid for needs around 31 knots. We averaged under 18. A 76 percent longer crossing is not sea conditions, it is a different boat.
We had a tour booked on Nusa Penida at 10:15. Our driver waited over an hour and we lost most of that day. The refund was refused with the explanation that the arrival time was the same, which their own staff had already contradicted at the counter.
If the crossing time matters for your plans, book with someone who tells you which boat you are actually getting.

Sari WGreat fastboat company. Easy ride and fully air conditioning. The voucher need to be claimed and change to the necklace boarding pass and need to give it to the staff before going onboard. Will use this fastboat again

Olivier DNot confortable and no space for legs, worst than in a low cost flight. Someone at the shop for the checkin didn't tell us that we have to buy the tax ticket at the harbour, so we lost time when she boat has arrived

Sophie DThe boat left on time and I really had the impression that the boat was very safe. The boat was not crowded and the ride from Gili Air to Nusa Penida was very comfortable. They showed the movie Kung-Fu Panda. I would definitely go with this company again.

Julie PThe company and the boat trip was ok but we never arrived at the port we were supposed to but another more far away from our hotel. Our reservation and voucher indicated Nyuh Harbour but we arrived at Buyuk Harbour. So yeah disappointed.

Johan KGet ready for the rollercoaster.. Our boat was fast, clean, people were nice and helpful. It was also a pretty bumpy ride from Gili Air to Nusa Penida. Sitting outside is fun, but in some parts of the trip very splashy.
