In short, the only option to get from Bali to Nusa Lembongan is to take the boat. There are a few different companies operating boats on this route that you can choose from.

The boat ride takes 30 minutes each way. There are times when it may take longer or be delayed, normally due to adverse weather conditions.

On Bali, the boat leaves from Sanur and arrives to Jungubatu Beach in Lembongan.

If you need transport in Sanur or Lembognan, you can organise this with the boat provider for an extra fee.

The standard rate for the boat is 325,000 IDR ($20). You will pay an extra 50,000 IDR for transport in Bali or on Lembongan.

You can take luggage on the boat from Sanur to Nusa Lembongan. If you have a small bag, you can carry this on yourself. If you have larger luggage, the staff will carry this for you and load it onto the top of the boat. The boat and the luggage are under cover so you don’t need to worry about your things getting wet.

Yes, this is possible. The bus takes only 30 minutes each way. But you would need to allow time to check into the boat in Sanur early. Normally you must check in between 30 and 60 minutes before the boat leaves.
