Princess Margaux
Time on the Water, Done Properly
Princess Margaux is one of the most exclusive private boat charters and sunset cruises in Gili Trawangan, designed for unhurried time at sea.
At 17 metres, this traditional hand-built wooden outrigger offers a different kind of experience, more space, more comfort, and a pace that feels relaxed from the moment you step on board.
Designed for the Day to Unfold
There’s no fixed rhythm here.
You might begin with a slow cruise along the coastline, stopping to snorkel in clear, shallow waters where turtles are often seen. Or simply stay on board: stretched out on a daybed, watching the island pass by.
The experience adapts to you.
From Daylight to Sunset
Morning light is calm and bright.
Afternoons drift without structure.
By sunset, everything changes.
The light softens, the water reflects the sky, and the entire experience becomes quieter, more atmospheric, more memorable.
This is why sunset departures are the most requested.
Space, Comfort, and Simplicity
The layout is intentionally open.
Daybeds allow you to relax fully. A sun deck invites you to stay outside. A fully serviced bar or the option to bring your own drinks: keeps everything easy.
Nothing feels crowded. Nothing feels rushed.
A Private Experience
Available for both small groups and larger private charters, Princess Margaux offers one of the most flexible boat experiences in Gili Trawangan.
Whether it’s a couple, a group of friends, or a private celebration, the experience remains personal.
Additional Hour: 50% of the selected boat trip price
Inclusions: Towel, Mineral Water, Soft Drink, Young Coconut, Snorkeling Gear, Snorkeling Guide

Golden hour bliss
Happy Hour
Golden Hour, Done Right
A relaxed sunset experience in Gili Trawangan, set within the calm surroundings of Pondok Santi Estate.
Late afternoon is when everything shifts, the light softens, the air cools, and the day naturally slows.
Settle In
Find your place: by the pool, in a cabana, or on a sun lounger.
A drink arrives. Conversations drift. The atmosphere stays easy.
Cocktails Worth the Pause
The menu is simple but considered: classic cocktails done properly, alongside a few house signatures.
It’s less about choice, more about getting it right.

What begins as a drink often becomes something longer.
Another round. A slower pace. No reason to leave.

Worth the early wake up
Horseback Riding
Worth Waking Up For
A rare horse riding experience on Gili Trawangan beach, best experienced at sunrise, before the island fully wakes.
The light is softer. The beach is empty. The air carries a calm you don’t get later in the day.
Along the Shoreline
From the estate’s private beach, you set out at first light: just you, your horse, and the sound of the water moving alongside you.
The pace is gentle. Unhurried. There’s no need to rush through it.
A Rare Kind of Stillness
This is one of the few moments on Gili Trawangan where you feel completely removed from everything else.
No crowds. No noise. Just open shoreline and the rhythm of the ride.
Details
- Sunrise rides departing from the estate’s private beach
- Suitable for all levels
