Five hours, three anchorages, and roughly sixty percent of the full Penida day.

  • Board Sanur 09:00, dock back 14:00.
  • Crossing 25 to 55 minutes, set by hull.
  • Calmer water — the choice for young families.
  • No manta station, no Kelingking headland.

The anchorages

Three stops, no rushing

Two and a half square miles of mangrove, coves and limestone. A half-day covers it without cutting anything short.

Day boat on shallow turquoise water

Mushroom Bay

White sand, shoulder-deep shallows, coconut palms behind. Ninety minutes to swim and snorkel.

Charter vessel running a rocky coastline

Devil's Tear

The limestone blow hole, run slowly from the water for the coastal photography line.

Charter vessel in a sheltered channel

The mangrove channel

Flat water the whole way through, and the quietest half hour of the rotation.

Rates

Three hulls, three crossings

The hull sets the crossing time as well as the rate. Most half-day guests take the catamaran for the trampoline foredeck.

Half day · 35 min crossing

Sundeck 380 sport cruiser.

Atelier Premium

65-foot Princess motor yacht. The quickest crossing of the three.

Indicative starting rates for the whole boat, confirmed against your date before you pay anything.

The morning

How the five hours run

An hour later than the Penida day, and back before the afternoon is gone.

  1. 01

    09:00 · Sanur

    Arrive 08:45, board at 09:00, abbreviated briefing, bow points east.

  2. 02

    09:45 · Mushroom Bay

    First anchor in the calm-water lee. Ninety minutes to swim.

  3. 03

    10:30 · Brunch

    Served on the foredeck at anchor, not under way.

  4. 04

    12:00 · Mangroves

    The channel, then the calm return crossing from 13:00.

Children as young as four take the snorkel mask at Mushroom Bay — the water there is shoulder-deep and the lee is flat.
