Hi, I wanted to notify anyone intending to book with this company.
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE THEM
Myself and 2 friends were travelling on their fast boat from Bali to Gili Islands on 21 August 2010, when the captain (driving like a mad man) hit an object in the waves (possibly a rock).
They stopped the boat, fixed the engine and then carried on for a further 5-10 minutes before realising that the boat was leaking water. The boat was sinking fast.
There were not sufficient lifejackets onboard for the 35-40 passengers, no life raft either and the crew were unbelievably panicked in dealing with an emergency evacuation. (I assume because they know how bad the seas/current and tides are in this stretch).
By the sheer luck of 2 passing boats we were saved, after abandoning the boat and swimming over to them.
You must be aware that the Lombok Strait is trecherous (think Bermuda Triangle!) and therefore pick a reputable company to travel on - do not believe their Photo-Shopped marketing leaflets - you will not be travelling on the boat as advertised!
Two days on, one of my friends has still lost her luggage and ours is water logged.
Please think before you either risk your life or belongings.
