Bali Private Cruise
Island chain seen from the water

Itineraries

Long enough to stop counting days.

The full eastbound chain — Nusa, the Gilis, Lombok and the quieter southwest islands — with time at each anchorage instead of a schedule to keep.

Seven days is the first length where the boat stops moving every single morning.

  • The same eastbound chain as the five-day route.
  • Two nights at the anchorages worth two nights.
  • Reaches the quieter southwest Gilis around Gili Gede.
  • The Lombok Strait is still the only real passage.

The route

Seven days, east and back

The front half follows the five-day route. What seven days buys is the back half — time, and the islands the shorter route has to skip.

  1. 01

    Days 1–2 · Bali & the Nusas

    Benoa, then south Bali and the gateway to the Nusa islands. Lembongan and Ceningan on day two — the mangrove channel and the snorkel sites.

  2. 02

    Day 3 · The strait

    Eastbound to the Gili Islands at first light, timed around the current. The one leg on this route that is a real passage.

  3. 03

    Day 4 · Lombok

    The verdant interior and the Sasak coast, staged from the northwest anchorages.

  4. 04

    Days 5–7 · Southwest & home

    The quieter southwest Gilis around Gili Gede, then the return west across the strait with a final night at Penida or Lembongan.

Days five to seven are the part the desk shapes around you, because by then the route has done its work and what is left is preference. Send what you want more of and it gets built in.

What the extra days buy

Seven days over five

The five-day route reaches everything. What it does not have is any slack, and slack is most of what a week on a boat is for.

Charter vessel at anchor off an island

Two nights somewhere

On five days the boat moves every morning. On seven it does not have to, and the anchorage you liked gets a second night.

Gili shoreline and anchorage from the air

The southwest Gilis

Gili Gede and the quieter islands the five-night route usually has to leave out. Fewer boats, and the anchorages are emptier.

Charter vessel under way at a relaxed pace

Weather slack

A week absorbs a bad morning. On a tight five-day plan a stand-down costs an island; on seven days it costs an afternoon.

Before you book
