Boat rides can be arranged at almost any beach where you can see the traditional Prahus or Jukungs pulled up on the sand. Most are now powered by an outboard motor but if you find a sailing boat on some non-tourist beach then I recommend that you take it and experience the real thing. Show some interest in the boat and someone will soon come down and ask if you want to go out. Surfers commonly pay Rp20,000 for a ride to the reefs which is maybe 20 minutes to half an hour there and back for the fisherman. The cost is more if you want him to wait for you to finish or wipe out. A ride along the shore is an interesting (and safe) experience and you will pay probably about Rp50-75,000 for an hour if you start the bargaining at about Rp20,000. Big game fishing on large, up-market boats can cost up to US$120 per person. The link below has more information.
