Experience fishing like a local on a private traditional fishing boat charter in Lombok, departing from the quiet Ampenan river side. This is not a flashy yacht tour — it is a real, hands-on day at sea with a crew who were born and raised on these shores and know exactly where the fish bite.
Whether you are a complete beginner, a weekend angler, or a serious fisher, your charter is tailored to you. Spend 6 to 8 hours bottom fishing over vibrant reef channels, trolling the deeper blue water, and trying traditional handline fishing — just like the local fishermen do.
What you can catch
Lombok’s waters off Ampenan are rich and varied. Over the reef channels you will target snapper and grouper; out in the deeper blue, trolling brings the chance of tuna, barracuda and even marlin. Every trip is different — that is the thrill of it.
Choose your fishing session
- Sunrise trip — start the day the way local fishermen do, with the rising sun and the calmest, most peaceful water. Magical for photographers and early risers.
- Half-day trip — a relaxed few hours, perfect for families, kids and first-timers easing into fishing in Lombok’s calm waters.
- Full-day adventure — our most popular option for keen anglers: multiple fishing grounds, both bottom fishing and trolling, with time for breaks, snorkeling or a fresh BBQ.
- Sunset trip with optional BBQ — fish into golden hour and grill your catch fresh afterwards.
Just tell us what you are after when you book and we will build the perfect session around it.
Our boat & crew
Your charter is a sturdy, well-kept traditional Lombok fishing boat — 9.5 m long and 1.85 m wide, with a single engine and Garmin GPS navigation. It comfortably carries up to 3 anglers and is fitted with covered seating for shade, an icebox, fresh water and life vests for everyone on board. Your friendly local crew handle the navigation, the gear and the fishing tips, so you can focus on the catch.
Pickup, food & your catch
We include free pickup from the Mataram and Senggigi area, all fishing gear and bait, mineral water, a lunch box, snacks and fresh fruit. At the end of the day we clean your catch for you — and if you choose the BBQ option, we grill it fresh. It does not get fresher than that.
This isn’t just another fishing charter. It is our way of life in Lombok, and we would love to share it with you.
