Canggu has the island's surf, its cafés and its worst short-cut traffic, and none of its harbours. Our yachts board at Serangan on the sheltered east coast, 50–70 minutes away (approx., traffic dependent). That drive is the longest part of a Canggu boat day, which is why almost nobody here books the 4-hour slot: they leave early, spend eight hours at Nusa Penida and come back with the sunset behind them.
Make the Drive Count: What Canggu Books
The 8-hour Nusa Penida day is the Canggu default — from $950 on the Accura 39 for up to 8, $1,550 on the fishing-rigged Accura 49 or $1,850 on the Accura 48 for up to 12. Behind it come celebrations on the 17-guest flagship Accura 55 ($1,700 for 4 hours, $2,750 for the Penida day) and early fishing mornings on the Accura 49 at $1,200. An 8 am pick-up from Canggu usually has you on the water by about 9:30; a 07:00 pick-up catches the 08:30 cast-off and the calmest water of the day.
| Yacht | Guests | 8 h Nusa Penida | 4 h coastal or sunset | Canggu use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accura 39 · 12 m | up to 8 | $950 | $750 | Couples and small groups |
| Accura 49 · 13.5 m, fishing-rigged | up to 12 | $1,550 | $1,200 | Surf houses that want to fish |
| Accura 48 · 13.5 m | up to 12 | $1,850 | $1,300 | Mixed groups, families |
| Accura 55 · 17 m flagship | up to 17 | $2,750 | $1,700 | Birthdays and send-offs |
Whole-yacht prices in USD including skipper, crew, fuel, snorkel gear, soft drinks and welcome fruits. The 10-hour Gili Islands run ($3,600 on the Accura 49) boards at 07:00 and is a 05:30 departure from Canggu.
Getting from Canggu to the Dock
Out through the Canggu shortcut or Jalan Raya Canggu to Sunset Road, then the Ngurah Rai bypass down to the Serangan floating dock (Dermaga apung, Denpasar 80229) — pin sent with your booking. Early is everything here: before 07:30 the run is nearer fifty minutes, after the cafés open it stretches past an hour. The private transfer from $50 — car, bus or Alphard, priced for Canggu and your head count — means one departure time and a driver who has done the route; a Grab ordered at 06:45 does the same job for two or three people.
A Canggu Boat Day, Hour by Hour
07:00 pick-up at the villa; 08:15 boarding at Serangan while the crew sets out snorkel gear and drinks; 08:30 cast off, roughly an hour across the Badung Strait past Lembongan; mid-morning at Manta Point if the swell allows, then Crystal Bay or Gamat Bay; a slow lunch at anchor in a sheltered bay — bring your own or ask us to arrange options; a last swim around 14:30; back at the dock by 16:30 and at the villa around 18:00 with time for a shower before dinner on Batu Bolong. The skipper sets the final order of stops on the morning.
