you are coming into this may or may not be possible. If you dock at Benoa you are 10 minutes away from shops in Sanur, 20 minutes away from Kuta shops and about 45 minutes away from Nusa Dua shops.
If however your boat pulls into Padang Bai you are about one and a half hours drive from any decent shopping areas.
The boat can not actually dock at Padang Bai you will have to be ferried between the boat and the harbour.
Remember you also will have to go through Immigration on arrival and departure, therefore you will have to allow extra time for this as well.
