Boat Rent Aak Kelayang

Boat Rent Aak Kelayang is a local boat charter run from Tanjung Kelayang beach, the departure point for the islands off Belitung's north coast. Rather than a full tour package, it offers private hire of a traditional wooden passenger boat with a local crew, which suits independent travellers who have their own transport or are staying near the beach.

A typical charter visits Pulau Kelayang, Batu Garuda, Pulau Pasir, Batu Berlayar, Lengkuas lighthouse and Kepayang, with snorkelling stops on the reefs, though you can adjust the route and timing with the crew. Reviews on Google are consistently strong, highlighting friendly, safety-conscious crews and good knowledge of where to snorkel.

Arrange the charter by phone or WhatsApp a day ahead if possible, and agree the price, route, number of passengers and whether snorkel gear and life jackets are included before you set off. Entrance fees to islands such as Lengkuas and lunch on Kepayang are usually paid separately. Start early for calmer seas and clearer water.
