About the terminal

Across the Basilan Strait from Zamboanga City, Isabela City sits on the north coast of Basilan, and its only route in these listings is the crossing to Zamboanga, where FastCat runs the regular shuttle. Every other listed port is 258 km or more away, so any onward sea travel, to Manila or anywhere else, starts with the crossing to Zamboanga. The last boat of the day leaves Isabela in the late afternoon, and connections need to fit around it.
