Driver waiting with a vehicle for a crew transfer in Bali

Crew & Provisioning

Built around the purser, not the guest list

Crew changes, airport runs, secure ground transport, car hire, laundry, medical referrals — and a phone answered at 03:00 when an inbound flight is missed.

In short

When a superyacht positions into Benoa, the guest programme usually has a whole team behind it. The crew side rarely does.

  • One accountable contact, and one paper trail for the management company.
  • Bali rates negotiated on volume rather than marina walk-up pricing.
  • Not a clearing agent. We work alongside yours, not in competition with them.

What it covers

Six things off the purser's desk

None of it is glamorous. All of it is what the desk exists for.

Crew changes & airport movements

Meet-and-greet at DPS with a name board, luggage handling for engineers travelling with tool cases, and transfer to vessel, tender point or crew hotel. Departures work backwards from the flight, allowing for southern Bali traffic that can double a journey between 16:00 and 20:00.

Secure transport

Standard licensed drivers for routine runs. For cash movements, late returns from Canggu, or a captain carrying vessel documents: vetted drivers, tracked vehicles and a dispatcher who stays reachable for the whole job.

Crew car hire

Self-drive cars and scooters delivered to the marina gate with documents in order, or a car with driver on a ten-hour day for provisioning circuits. The vehicle is matched to the job rather than upsold.

Laundry & errands

Guest linen has a contract; crew kit does not. Express crew laundry at per-kilogram rates, pharmacy runs, local SIM cards on arrival day, phone and laptop repair.

Medical & dental referrals

International-standard clinics in the Denpasar–Kuta corridor: appointment booked, driver on it, and invoices and reports collected in English where the P&I club or crew insurer needs them.

A hotline answered at 03:00

The group's existing 24/7 desk, staffed in Bali by people who can dispatch a driver or wake a clinic contact — not a script-reading service that logs a ticket for the morning.

Working figures

Full crew-change coordination

Notes
Often no separate fee when transport is booked through the desk.

Where our margin sits inside a booked service, nothing is added on top. Where a request is pure coordination — supervising a medical case with no bookable component — a flat desk fee is quoted in advance. No percentage-of-invoice surprises at the end of the call.

How the desk prices its own work

How to book

Four steps, one thread

  1. 01

    Send the movement list

    Vessel name, dates in Bali, and what you need. Even a rough movement list speeds everything up.

  2. 02

    Receive a written plan

    Priced options, usually within a few working hours — faster on WhatsApp.

  3. 03

    You approve, we book

    Every element confirmed back with names, plate numbers and direct contacts.

  4. 04

    One contact until the last drop-off

    The same desk stays on your file until the last crew member is where they should be.

48 hours is comfortable for most crew changes. Same-day is often possible for transport, car hire and laundry. Medical referrals are handled as they arise, day or night.
