Hi Elie,
Happy New Year and best wishes for you too.
I have no idea about the expressboat from Kendal.
I just know the Fast boat from Semarang and Ferry boat from Jepara.
I already wrote the information about it.
Here the link:
https://www.yogya-backpacker.com/transport-to-karimun-jawa/
As you can see, i already provide their Whatsapp number.
So, you can ask directly.
I visited Yogyakarta at the end of January.
I was amazed by how kind and a nice bloke Mr Alex was.
He was the best.. I kid you not.
He even gave a free massage for more than 30 minutes while waiting for the Jomblang activity!
But according to him, he will not be bringing groups around too often, so do appreciate if you get him!
He speaks very good English and is well informed about almost everything you want to know.
It was a pleasure meeting you Alex, I wish you nothing but the best in the future.
Take good care!
Thank you for use our tour services.
Alex is a nickname of my brother.
Somehow he felt cool and comfortable with this nickname.
Yes, he is very kind and speak English very well.
You are more than lucky when getting him as your driver.
Thank you and wish the best future for you too!
