In Reply to: Some fast boat companies posted by norbit on Saturday, 8. January 2011 at 07:57 Bali Time:
i am a very frequent travellor to the gili's (every month). Yes, it can be rough but i just find the fastboat services so much more convenient, jump on jump off.
What is important to me is using rhe right fastboat operator.
There are many to choose from i only use three of them.
Gili Cat if im leaving from Padang Bai
Island Getaway from Benoa Harbour or Bluwater from Serangan
WHY ?
There Capt's are internationally certified, they comply 100% with all international safety requirements,they service and maintain there vessels and motors with a scheduled maintenance program.
They are recognized as the safest operator's and recommended by all the major resorts and dive centers on the island.
Are they the cheapest .. NO ..
But for me i,m happy to pay that bit extra for peace of mind.
PS
My favorite is Island Getaway, love there seats...
