We're a comparison site, not the operator — schedules, boat condition and on-the-day organization are the operator's responsibility, not ours.
Sea conditions right now
Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled. These estimates come from wave-height forecasts at each port. They're a guide, not a promise: the operator and the port authority decide on the day.
Based on published wave-height thresholds for fast boats and ferries in Indonesia. Not a guarantee. Always check with your operator before you travel.
Straight to the Nusa Islands
You can sail from Lombok to Nusa Penida or Nusa Lembongan without going through mainland Bali. Some of these boats call at the Gili Islands on the way, which adds to the crossing time.
Nusa Penida has several harbours, including Toyapakeh, Buyuk and Sampalan. Which one your boat uses depends on the operator, so check your ticket and plan your onward ride from there.
Checking in
The times on this page are guides taken from the booking site. Check-in is usually an hour before departure, but go by the time on your ticket.

Which Lombok to Nusa Islands boats are confirmed?

Can the boat from Lombok to the Nusa Islands be cancelled?
Yes. Rough seas are the main reason fast boats are delayed or cancelled, and it happens more often in the wetter months (roughly November to March). The sea-conditions estimate on this page is a guide, not a guarantee: the operator and the port authority make the actual call on the day. Leave a buffer before any onward flight rather than booking one for the same day.
Do I need to book in advance?
In peak season, popular morning departures can sell out a day or two ahead. Off-peak you can often book closer to the day. Booking ahead is the safer choice if you have a flight or a connection to make.
