About Ekajaya
Twenty-five years of moving people across the Bali-Lombok strait.
From a single Bali boat operator to the region's fast ferry standard
PT. Bali Eka Jaya was founded in 1999 by Didi Sunaria. What began as a Bali-based marine transport business expanded in 2008 into fast ferry services connecting Bali to the Gili Islands and Lombok — a route that, at the time, meant slow public boats or expensive private charters.
Today the company employs more than 200 crew and shore staff across nine ports, running a fleet of four BKI-certified vessels between Bali, Nusa Penida, Nusa Lembongan, the Gili Islands and Lombok. Alongside ferry operations, the team arranges hotel transfers and accommodation for travelers connecting through Bali.
PT. Bali Eka Jaya is founded by Didi Sunaria, laying the groundwork for a Bali-based marine transport business.
The company launches its fast ferry service between Bali and Lombok, entering passenger transport for the first time.
Three new vessels — Eka Jaya 23, 25 and 26 — join the fleet as demand grows across the Gili Islands and Nusa Penida routes.
Ekajaya Matra launches as the flagship of the fleet: 260 passengers, 40 knots, and the newest engineering in the lineup.
Every vessel is classed by Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia
Our hulls, engines and lifesaving equipment are inspected against BKI's national maritime standards, on the same cycle applied to Indonesia's commercial passenger fleet.
