Traditional fishing boats known as perahu ply the waters around Lombok. They are instantly recognisable due to their outriggers, two lengths of extra large bamboo sealed at either end and attached by bars on both sides like a catamaran affording greater stability in heavy swells. They can also be chartered on the Senggigi beaches, either directly from owners in which case some knowledge of Bahasa Indonesian or Bahasa Sasak will come in handy or via any travel agent, who will of course take an often generous commission.
