About this crossing
Montenegro leaves Batangas on every even hour, day and night, and two other companies fit their crossings of the Verde Island Passage around it. FastCat, which runs roll-on/roll-off catamarans able to carry cars and trucks, adds departures at 01:00, 07:00 and 15:00, and SuperCat keeps to the daytime with three crossings four hours apart from 09:30, the quickest on the route at 90 minutes. Because Montenegro never leaves a gap of more than two hours, a missed boat is a short wait at any hour. Fares vary more than the crossing does: Montenegro charges ₱576, FastCat's three classes run from ₱686 to ₱832, and SuperCat charges ₱720 in every class. Coming back from Oriental Mindoro's capital, the Calapan departures follow a different pattern.
