About this crossing

FerryEasy sells just two of Starhorse's five daily departures from Balanacan, the 06:30 and the 11:30; the other three come from the line's own Facebook schedule. The boats cross Tayabas Bay from Marinduque's north coast to Lucena in Quezon province. Montenegro lists this route too, but its schedule page returns no sailings from Balanacan, so only Starhorse appears here, although both lines are shown on the Lucena to Balanacan page. From Lucena, Starhorse also sails to Romblon and to the islands of Banton and Simara.
