Singkil to Balai, how to?

Public boat
There is a public boat going every morning (in June 2015). The cost for the public boat is 30'000 IDR (payment after journey). This journey takes around 3h30min.
Mind that the public boat schedule is very "peculiar". It leaves between 9am and 11am they will tell you (locals, tourists, agencies, etc). Reality is, it can take for a while for the boat to leave, even when they will tell you "we are leaving", there could be another hour waiting (yes, Sumatra style!). So be patient, and lower your expectations time wise.
You should also know that the public boat gets extremely crowded. See pictures below.
Fast boat
You can charter a fast boat. I didn't do that myself, but I met someone who did & told me it was horrible.
Basically, this fast boat is a tiny boat with a huge engine. It's very uncomfortable & you're half deaf when you arrive because the engine is so loud. If there are waves, you might just have the scariest boat ride of your life.
I can't remember the price for a fast boat sorry. The journey takes around 2h.

The public boat is the one on the very right.
The public boat once packed with its merchandise & passengers.
