Wasserlinie Luwuk-Bobong-Lede-Tikong-Gela-Jorjoga auf der Karte von Luwuk

There are some commercial operators (KM Ratu Maria, KM Graciela) which sail all the way from Luwuk to Taliabu (Bobong till Jorjoga). The journey typically takes 1.5-2 days, and has sometimes plenty of waiting time in the ports it is passing. Not really recommended for the comfort, but the frequency and travel speed is higher than with Pelni. Mind that with all sea transport in Indonesia on these kind of boats there are often delays due to organisational disfunction, weather, ...
Gela doesn't have a harbour and this is a sea drop off/pick up (2021).

Schedules departing from:
- Bobong to Lede/Tikong/Gela/Jorjoga: Tue/Sat 9am
- Bobong to Luwuk: Mon/Thu 8pm

Basic travel are bunk beds with usually AC on that deck; there are normally also rooms to be rent (2-4 people) at a premium.

Still to be paid cash on the boat or in the offices at the port.
