About this crossing

Two departures a day from Bulalacao in Oriental Mindoro to Caticlan, at 10:00 and 22:00, arriving 13:30 and 01:30. Three and a half hours across the Sibuyan Sea.

Mindoro's southern exit

Most Mindoro traffic funnels north through Calapan to Batangas and Manila. This route goes the other way — south to Panay and the Visayas — which makes it the shortcut for anyone travelling between Mindoro and Boracay without doubling back through Luzon.

The night sailing lands after midnight

The 22:00 arrives at Caticlan at 01:30. Worth planning for: onward transport from the jetty port at that hour is limited, and the Boracay boats do not run through the night.

Fares and contact

Business class ₱1,188, premium economy ₱1,109, seniors and PWD around 29% off with valid ID. The Bulalacao terminal number is 0947-869-9790.
