The waters surrounding the three Gili Islands are a living aquarium. Green sea turtles glide effortlessly over coral gardens, and schools of tropical fish create clouds of color. It is a world that demands to be seen. Yet, the typical snorkeling experience involves squeezing onto a public boat with 30 other people, fighting for a view, and being rushed from one spot to the next.
This is not how nature should be experienced. A private charter changes everything. It gives you the luxury of time and space. You dictate the schedule, ensuring you arrive at the famous "Turtle Point" just as the crowds are leaving.
The Route: A Tale of Three Islands
A typical private excursion covers the best of all three Gilis in one seamless loop, but at your own pace.
- Gili Trawangan (Turtle Point): The best place to spot Green Sea Turtles grazing on the seagrass.
- Gili Meno (The Statues): The hauntingly beautiful underwater statues by Jason deCaires Taylor. A private boat allows you to get the shot before the Instagram crowds descend.
- Gili Air (Garden Fish): Vibrant coral reefs teeming with life, perfect for drift snorkeling.
The Fleet: Glass Bottom or Yacht?
For those who want a classic island experience, the **Private Glass Bottom Boat** is ideal. It allows non-swimmers to view the reef from the comfort of the boat. It is stable, spacious, and comes with a sunshade.
For a touch more luxury, upgrade to a **Speedboat or Catamaran**. These vessels offer sun decks for tanning, proper toilets, and the speed to reach further, untouched reefs towards the Southwest Gilis.
Picnic at Sea
We elevate the experience with catering. Instead of a packed lunch box, imagine a fresh tropical fruit platter served after your swim, or a stop at a beach club on Gili Air for a proper sit-down lunch while your boat waits.
The ocean is calling. Answer it on your own terms. Reserve your private vessel and dive into the blue.
