To book a Bali sailing trip, message Selat Sails on WhatsApp at +62 811-2859-0000 or email sales@balipremiumtrip.com. Bookings are handled directly by the Bali Premium Trip reservations team, who confirm seat availability, your departure harbor (Benoa or Serangan), pickup, and a per-person quote. Expect a reply the same day, usually within a few hours.
Selat Sails sells modern sailing by the seat — catamaran and sailboat day sails, sunset sails, and 2–3 day mini itineraries under sail — not fast-boat transfers or whole-boat charter. Every message routes to the same reservations desk, so you talk to real people who know the routes to Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Penida, not a chatbot.
How do you contact Selat Sails about a Bali sailing trip?
You have three direct channels, and WhatsApp is the fastest by a wide margin. Because seats on a scheduled sail fill per departure, a quick message locks your spot before a slower email thread would.
| Channel | Contact | Best for | Typical response |
|---|---|---|---|
| +62 811-2859-0000 | Booking, live availability, last-minute seats | Same day, often within a few hours | |
| sales@balipremiumtrip.com | Group quotes, itineraries in writing, invoices | Within 1 business day | |
| In person | Operator check-in desk, Benoa or Serangan | Day-of check-in and boarding | On arrival |
When you message, send four things: your date, group size (adults and children), the trip type you want (scheduled day sail, private sail, or sunset sail), and your hotel area for pickup. That lets the reservations team quote you accurately on the first reply instead of trading questions back and forth.
What sailing trips can you ask about, and what do they cost?
Here are the trip types Selat Sails arranges, with indicative per-person pricing from the wider Bali market so you know the ballpark before you message. All figures are as of 2026 and subject to change — the reservations team confirms the live price for your date.
| Trip type | Route | Duration | Indicative price (per person) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scheduled catamaran day sail | Benoa/Serangan → Nusa Lembongan | ~7–8 hours | USD 130–180 (Ohana Agency listing) |
| Sailing-branded Lembongan package | Bali → Nusa Lembongan, beach club + village | Full day | ~Rp 950,000 (WakaSailing, via Instagram) |
| Catamaran cruise to Lembongan | Bali → Nusa Lembongan | Full day | ~USD 123.53 (KKday, 2026) |
| Sunset sail | Benoa coastal, Mount Agung views | ~2–3 hours | Quoted on request |
| Private sail / 2–3 day mini itinerary | Lembongan & Penida (Crystal Bay, Toyapakeh, Manta Bay) | Multi-day | Quoted on request |
A note on timing: sailing under sail is slower than the motorized benchmarks people quote for the crossing. A Serangan-to-Lembongan fast boat runs about 30 minutes (per Giliferries/Rocky Fast Cruise), and Nusa Penida sits roughly 62 km from Benoa with fast-ferry transfers around 1 hour 10 minutes (per Rome2Rio). A genuine sail is wind-dependent and takes longer — that slower, quieter passage is the point. Ask the reservations team about dry-season wind windows, which operators generally advise give the most comfortable sailing.
How does booking a sailing trip actually work?
The process is short and runs entirely through the Bali Premium Trip reservations team.
- Message the details. Send your date, group size, trip type, and hotel area to WhatsApp +62 811-2859-0000.
- Get your options and quote. The team replies with available departures, the departure harbor, per-person pricing, and what’s included (lunch, water activities, transfers where applicable).
- Confirm and hold your seats. You confirm the trip and settle a deposit or full payment per the instructions the team sends. Seats are held once payment is confirmed.
- Receive your check-in pack. You get the pickup time (or self-arrival instructions), the exact harbor, the operator check-in desk, and a boarding time — usually the day before.
- Sail. Arrive at check-in, meet the crew, and go.
If plans shift, message the same WhatsApp number. The team handles date changes and questions on the same thread, so nothing gets lost.
Where do sailing trips depart, and how do you check in?
Selat Sails trips leave from two Bali harbors on the island’s southeast side: Benoa Harbour and Serangan (Serangan Harbour, near Turtle Island). Your confirmation message states which one your specific departure uses — it depends on the boat and route, so always go by the harbor named in your check-in pack, not by guesswork.
Check-in guidance the reservations team consistently gives:
- Arrive 30–45 minutes before departure. Boarding, safety briefings, and manifest checks take time, and a sail leaves on the tide.
- Find the operator check-in desk, not the general ferry counter. Benoa and Serangan both handle many boats; the team sends the desk name or a pin so you walk straight to it.
- Bring photo ID for every adult and note any children’s ages for seating and life-jacket sizing.
- Confirm pickup the night before. If a hotel transfer is included, re-confirm the pickup window on WhatsApp so the driver and you are aligned.
- Watch the weather thread. Sailing is wind- and tide-dependent; the team messages you promptly if a departure time shifts.
Looking ahead, Benoa marina upgrades and Nusa Penida e-ticketing are reshaping day-sail logistics into 2027, which should make check-in and harbor arrivals smoother. The reservations team keeps you posted on any change that affects your date.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the fastest way to contact a Bali sailing trip operator?
WhatsApp is fastest. Message Selat Sails at +62 811-2859-0000 with your date, group size, and trip type, and the Bali Premium Trip reservations team replies the same day — usually within a few hours. Email at sales@balipremiumtrip.com works too, though replies there can take up to one business day.
How quickly will Selat Sails reply to my booking message?
On WhatsApp, expect a reply the same day and often within a few hours during Bali business hours. Email inquiries to sales@balipremiumtrip.com are typically answered within one business day. Sending your date, group size, and hotel area up front gets you a quote on the first reply instead of a back-and-forth.
Can I book a Bali sailing trip for the same day or last minute?
Sometimes, but seats on a scheduled sail fill per departure, so same-day is never guaranteed. WhatsApp +62 811-2859-0000 for live availability — the reservations team can tell you immediately whether that day’s sail still has seats or suggest the next departure. For a specific date, booking a day or two ahead is safer.
Which harbor will I check in at, Benoa or Serangan?
It depends on your boat and route, so go by the harbor named in your confirmation, not by assumption. Selat Sails departs from both Benoa Harbour and Serangan. Your check-in pack states the exact harbor, the operator desk, and boarding time. Arrive 30–45 minutes early with photo ID for each adult.
