- 16The marina is located in a harbor shaped by nature. Gili Gede sits inside Sekotong Bay, surrounded by a chain of islands that form a natural breakwater. The result is deep, calm, protected water year-round, no man-made breakwater required, just good geography doing the work.
- 17Yes, we have 24/7 security monitoring your vessel while you’re on-site or away exploring.
- 18Yes, channel 72.
- 19The marina is perfectly located. Indonesia sits very close to the equator therefore, it avoids direct tropical cyclone strikes.
- 20Gili Gede and the other nine smaller islands in the Southern Gilis are a yachties playground. The Southern Gilis is one of the best locations for snorkelling and diving. If you aren’t a certified diver, we can refer you to the best dive schools the Southern Gilis has to offer.Whether you want to head out for a few nights and drop the anchor or want to go out for a sail on a day trip, the other eight islands close by have stunning reefs and beaches to explore.The island also has a variety of restaurants and sunset bars, which are accessible via tender or by foot.
- 21Yes, there is a fast boat that comes to Gili Gede. It is located on the Northside of Gili Gede. It’s a return service that departs from Bali via Nusa Penida to Gili Gede. Our staff can book your tickets and provide transport from the marina to the fast boat.
- 22Yes, foreign-flagged yachts need a “Vessel Declaration” to cruise Indonesian waters. We can assist with / point you toward the process — contact us before arrival so we can help coordinate.
- 23Yes, it is a legal requirement to have AIS when cruising Indonesia. If you come into Indonesia without AIS, you will be denied clearance.
- 24No, the nearest port of clearance is in North Lombok.
- 25Foreign vessels are permitted to cruise Indonesian waters for 3 years after checking into Indonesia.
- 26Yes, you will require a visa while cruising in Indonesia. If required we can put you in touch with an agent to handle your visa.
- 27The dry season. April to October is the best window. Southeast trade winds keep conditions settled, with the calmest and most consistent sailing from June to September, when swell is minimal, and skies are reliably clear. May and October are good shoulder months: still dry, with lighter crowds.
- 28The wet season. December till March, this is when the northwest monsoon brings the roughest conditions to Southern Indonesia along with the heaviest rain (peaking in January–March). It's not unsailable, but expect more exposure and rougher passages.
- 29Indonesia’s straits, including the Lombok Strait are known for strong tidal currents due to the volume of water moving between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific through a relatively narrow gap. Currents can run several knots and interact with wind to create confused, choppy conditions, especially during spring tides or wind-against-current situations. Plan strait transits around slack water or a favourable tide where possible.
- 30Some areas of Indonesia see notable tidal swings, which matters for anchoring depth and clearance under bridges/cables in narrower channels.
- 31Yes, unlit boats, floats, nets, and bamboo rafts are common, especially near coastal villages, and can be hard to spot at night or in chop. It is worth keeping a sharp lookout and avoiding night passages through fishing grounds where possible.
- 32Small unlit fishing boats, ferries, and interisland cargo boats often don’t show up well on AIS/radar. A note on collision avoidance around busy channels (like the Lombok Strait) is useful.
- 33Many anchorages require eyeball navigation in good light rather than trusting charts alone, since reef edges shift and charts can be dated.
- 34Many smaller ports/anchorages are cash-only (Indonesian Rupiah). ATMs are sparse outside larger towns.
