Gili Gede Island - General Info
Where is Gili Gede?
Gili Gede island is located off the southern end of the west coast of Lombok. (Not to be confused with the Gili Islands off the NW coast). It is in a sheltered bay close to the coastal town of Tembowong, approx. 15NM west of the harbour town of Lembar. It is one of several islands clustered together, very sheltered and surrounded by hills. (photo courtesy of Marina Del Ray).
Cruiser highlights for Gili Gede:
Marina Del Ray at the southern end of the island, was built by Australian cruiser Raymond La Fontaine and was the first safe haven between Australia and Singapore for cruising yachts. The marina has pontoons and other services available and is a Port of Entry for Indonesia. Advance arrival notice is requested. There are bars and restaurants on the island and some provisions. Read about the marina’s history here. Unfortunately Ray died from a medical condition in February 2024 but the marina is still operational. Amenities include a swimming pool, WiFi, repair facilities. There are no motorized vehicles on the island, so to move around you take the coastal path, a horse-drawn cart or a taxi boat.

Update on Lombok, Indonesia by Yannick, s.v. TY-YANN
Close to the southwest shore of Lombok, Marina Del Ray and Secret Island Resort in Gili Gede island have moorings in a very protected bay as long as you stay out of the main current stream.
A pier dock has been completed (March 2018) in Marina Del Ray and berthing is scheduled for June 2018 as well as a yacht club. Gili Gede is remote, there is no tap water and food provisioning is a bit complicated but is a valuable choice to leave the boat unattended in the water all year long.

A map with waypoints for sailing around Lombok and a map for provisioning in Mataram are available at http://atlasformariners.blogspot.com
Have been exploring the marinas in Lombok and Bali to sus out the best place to leave our boat. Marina Del Ray.. doesn’t quite match up to what it states. 2 boats on buoys and 3 vacant. No marina, no restaurant, no haulout, no power out to a swing mooring.Just a beach and a fairly old resort close by.
According to the locals, it’s still on the plan. If wanting to leave a boat, or a place to stop in Lombok the only option .. marina.. is Medana Marina 4 miles from Gili Air with a number of buoys, a resort, restaurant, a clubroom and friendly people with fuel available.
