You can reach karimunjawa from pelabuhan Kartini (a small port) in Jepara, the ferry runs about 3 times a week so make sure that you check the schedule.
The journey took about 6 hour, if you have time...

Apparently on occasions the trip trip over from Semarang on the high speed Kartina hydrafoil...

I've been to Phuket and Bali, and I have to say that Karimunjawa can compare to the best beaches on those 2 islands. The sands are silky white, the ocean has gradation colors (green-turquoise-deep blue), the marine life is awesome.
