You are fortunate that you were not on the boat when it sunk!
If you want to go by boat and the weather is a bit rough, but not stormy, then the slower Perama boat is a more stable boat than the fast boats that slam into the waves. It is still way faster than the slow ferry which doesn't go to the Gilis anyway, and also a fair bit cheaper than the fast boats.
Only go by fast boat if the weather is very good.
