Starfish Fast Cruise

Starfish Fast Cruise: Sanur to Nusa Penida

Operator Overview

Starfish Fast Cruise is a large maritime operator with routes connecting Bali (Sanur), Nusa Penida, the Gili Islands, and Lombok. On the Sanur to Nusa Penida corridor, the operator applies the same operational discipline used on longer inter-island routes.

Live Availability via Sailtix

Some morning departures are highly demanded, especially for passengers with onward island connections. Sailtix connects directly to Starfish dispatch inventory so displayed schedules reflect live seat capacity rather than static timetables. Confirmed bookings are synchronized immediately to active manifests.

Fleet Specifications & Onboard Comfort

Vessel Stability: Starfish operates larger hull classes, commonly around 18 meters, with capacity typically in the 80 to 115 passenger range. This generally provides a steadier crossing profile on the Badung Strait compared with smaller speedboats.

Cabin Amenities: Enclosed air-conditioned cabins, broad seating layouts, restroom facilities, and onboard entertainment support are standard service highlights.

Transit Performance: The direct Sanur to Nusa Penida crossing is commonly around 40 to 45 minutes under normal weather and sea conditions.

Port Logistics: Sanur & Banjar Nyuh

Sanur Departures: Check-in is centered at Sanur Harbor operations. Passengers should complete check-in around 45 minutes before departure. Starfish also supports broad Bali pickup coverage from areas such as Kuta, Seminyak, Legian, Sanur, and Ubud.

Arrival at Banjar Nyuh: Arrivals are typically handled at Banjar Nyuh, one of Nusa Penida's main commercial access points, with immediate onward access to scooter rentals and private transfers.
