Jimbaran sits on its calm bay just across the water from Serangan harbour, so it's one of the fastest places on the island to get afloat — the drive is roughly 20–30 minutes via the by-pass or the Bali Mandara toll road (approx., traffic dependent). Famous for its seafood cafés and sheltered water, Jimbaran pairs naturally with a dawn fishing charter or a relaxed sunset cruise that ends in time for dinner on the beach.
Charters We Run Most from Jimbaran
Jimbaran's short run to Serangan suits early starts and late finishes alike — dawn fishing charters on the rigged Accura 49 and golden-hour sunset cruises are the local favourites. Fishing is $1,200 for 4 hours plus the $100 fishing package; the sunset slot is $750 on the Accura 39 for up to 8 guests, $1,300 on the Accura 48 for a larger family. The 8-hour Nusa Penida day from $950 sits close behind, and the 17 m flagship Accura 55 (up to 17 guests, from $1,700) covers the bay's hotel celebrations.

Estimates via the Bali Mandara toll road in normal traffic; the skipper confirms the boarding time for your date. Prices are for the whole yacht with skipper, crew, fuel, snorkel gear, soft drinks and welcome fruits included.
Getting to the Boat from Jimbaran
All our charters depart from Serangan harbour (Dermaga apung, Serangan, Denpasar) — approx. 20–30 min by car from most Jimbaran hotels and villas, traffic dependent. The run via the Bali Mandara toll road is one of the shortest on the island, so a dawn fishing departure and an afternoon sunset slot are both easy from here.
Transfers are optional and separate: a car, bus or premium Alphard from $50, priced for Jimbaran and your group size. Many bay hotels are five minutes from the toll gate, so a Gojek or Grab is the usual choice for couples; families with gear and a dawn start tend to take the transfer and ask for the beach drop-off on the way back.
Fish at Dawn, Seafood at Dusk
Jimbaran is the one base where both ends of the day work on the water. The fishing-rigged Accura 49 leaves the dock at 06:45 and trolls the drop-off while the sea is flat, with the option of keeping a tuna or snapper for the island fish grill that comes with the $100 package. Twelve hours later the sunset slot drops the anchor facing the Bukit as the light goes, and the yacht is back at Serangan shortly after dark — twenty minutes from the grills on Jimbaran beach, where the drop-off can be arranged instead of the hotel.
