**Selat Sails is a modern Bali sailing-trip brand that sells day sails, sunset sails, and short mini-itineraries by the seat — not by the boat. Trips run under sail (catamaran or sailboat) from Benoa and Serangan toward Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, operated and booked directly by Bali Premium Trip via WhatsApp.**
Most “Bali to Nusa” products you find online are motorized fast boats or mixed-mode cruise packages. Genuine under-sail day trips — where the wind actually moves the boat — are scarce. That gap is the entire reason Selat Sails exists. We are the network site that sells modern sailing by the seat, and we say “sailing under sail” plainly so nobody confuses a catamaran day sail with a 30-minute fast-boat transfer.
What exactly is Selat Sails?
Selat Sails is a booking and content brand focused on one narrow thing: per-person day sailing from Bali. Instead of asking you to charter a whole yacht, we place you on scheduled and small-group private sails with fixed departure windows and transparent per-seat pricing.
We deliberately stay in our lane. Whole-boat and bareboat charter, crewed sailing-yacht hire, motor-yacht luxury, big-ship cruise comfort, and anything sailing toward Komodo or the Gili Islands all belong to sibling brands. What we own is the trip-and-experience axis of modern Bali sailing:
- Sunset sails from Benoa or Serangan along the coast, often with Mount Agung on the horizon in clear weather.
- Full-day catamaran day sails to Nusa Lembongan — Mushroom Bay, Jungut Batu, the Yellow Bridge crossing to Ceningan.
- Nusa Penida sailing days built around Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh, and the Manta Bay area.
- 2–3 day mini sailing itineraries that string Lembongan and Penida together at a slower, wind-led pace.
This is distinct from traditional wooden pinisi trips, which a sibling site covers. Selat Sails is catamaran-and-sailboat modern sailing.
Why book sailing by the seat instead of the whole boat?
Because most travellers want the experience, not the asset. Chartering a whole boat means paying for every empty seat. Buying a seat means you pay for yours, share the deck with a small group, and keep the price honest.
Under sail also means a different rhythm. A fast boat from Serangan reaches Nusa Lembongan in about 30 minutes, and Giliferries and Rocky Fast Cruise run several direct daily departures. Sailing is slower and wind-dependent — that is the point. You are trading transfer speed for time on the water. We frame every duration as weather-led, never as a fixed fast-boat number.
Here is indicative per-person market pricing to set expectations. These figures are drawn from published operator and marketplace listings and are date-stamped as of 2026, subject to change — they are references, not fixed Selat Sails quotes.
| Trip type | Typical duration | Indicative per-person price (2026) | Source referenced |
|---|---|---|---|
| Coastal sunset sail | 2–3 hours (wind-led) | Quote on request via WhatsApp | Selat Sails concierge |
| Bali–Lembongan sailing day (catamaran) | Full day, roughly 07:30–17:00 | USD 130–180 pp | Ohana Agency listing |
| Bali–Lembongan catamaran cruise | Full day | ~USD 123.53 pp | KKday listing |
| Sailing-branded Lembongan day package | Full day, incl. lunch + beach club | Rp 950,000 pp | WakaSailing (Instagram) |

| 2–3 day mini sailing itinerary | 2–3 days | Quote on request via WhatsApp | Selat Sails concierge |
Rome2Rio reports the distance between Nusa Penida and Benoa as about 62 km, with fast-boat travel times of roughly 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 32 minutes including transfers. Trip.com notes typical Bali–Lembongan day tours run about 07:30 to 17:00. Sailing under sail sits above those motorized benchmarks on the clock, which we always disclose up front.
Who operates and books your trip?
Selat Sails is the brand; Bali Premium Trip is the operator that runs and books every departure. When you message us, the Bali Premium Trip reservations team confirms availability, vessel, departure window, and the final per-person price directly.
The publisher entity behind this site is Juara Holding Group. Where Selat Sails does not own a particular boat or asset, trips are arranged via vetted licensed partners, and we say so — we are not the asset owner and not a licensed financial, legal, or tax adviser. We never fabricate reviews, ratings, awards, or credentials, and any figure on this site is attributed to its source and date-stamped.
On safety, licensing, and Nusa Penida conservation fees, we speak in general, clearly-attributed terms. Operators generally advise confirming vessel safety standards and any marine-park or harbor fees at the time of booking. We do not quote specific regulation numbers or invent fee amounts, because the public sources we rely on do not contain them.
What is changing for Bali day sailing in 2027?
Two shifts are worth planning around. First, Benoa marina upgrades and the rollout of Nusa Penida e-ticketing are widely expected to reshape day-sail logistics from 2027 — smoother harbor handling and clearer boarding. Second, timing still matters most: operators generally advise the dry-season wind windows for the most comfortable sailing, since under-sail comfort depends on wind more than any schedule. When you book, ask us which weeks are looking best.
How does booking work?
Booking is deliberately simple and human. There is no cart, no account, no locked-in prepayment before you have answers.
- Message the concierge on WhatsApp at 6281128590000 with your dates, group size, and whether you want a sunset, full-day, or multi-day sail.
- Get a tailored plan. The Bali Premium Trip team replies with vessel options, a realistic wind-led departure window, and a firm per-person price.
- Confirm your seats. You lock the departure once the details and price suit you.
- Arrange your pickup. Hotel-shuttle transfers are common in this market — Rocky Fast Cruise, for example, publishes a Rp 50,000 per-person shuttle for Kuta, Legian, Airport, Jimbaran, Nusa Dua and Lembongan areas (as of 2026, minimum two people). We confirm your exact meeting point at Benoa or Serangan.
- Sail. You show up, board, and spend the day under sail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Selat Sails the same company as Bali Premium Trip?
No. Selat Sails is the sailing-trip brand and website; Bali Premium Trip is the operator that runs and books the trips. When you reserve, the Bali Premium Trip reservations team handles your confirmation directly. The site’s publisher entity is Juara Holding Group. We only use real, verified details and never invent awards or ratings.
What does “sailing by the seat” actually mean?
It means you buy your own place on a shared or small private sail rather than chartering a whole boat. You pay a per-person price, board a catamaran or sailboat, and share the deck with a small group. It keeps day sailing affordable and honest, versus paying for every empty seat on a full-boat charter.
How is Selat Sails different from a Bali fast boat to Nusa?
A fast boat is a motorized transfer — Serangan to Nusa Lembongan runs about 30 minutes. Selat Sails sells time under sail, which is wind-dependent and slower by design. You come for the sailing experience itself, not just to get across the strait quickly. We always describe durations as weather-led, never as fixed transfer times.
How do I book, and can I message a real person?
Yes. Booking is by direct WhatsApp at 6281128590000, or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com. Send your dates and group size, and the Bali Premium Trip concierge replies with vessel options, a realistic departure window, and a firm per-person price. Nothing is charged until you confirm the plan and price suit you.
Are the prices on this site guaranteed?
No. Every figure shown is an indicative market reference drawn from published operator and marketplace listings, date-stamped as of 2026 and subject to change. Your final per-person price is always confirmed by the Bali Premium Trip reservations team before you commit. We attribute sources in prose and never quote fees or regulations we cannot verify.
