About this crossing
The longest wait at Calapan is the three hours between FastCat's 21:00 and Montenegro's midnight boat; for the rest of the day and night something leaves at least every two and a half hours. Several departures coincide rather than spread out: at 04:00 and 12:00 Montenegro and FastCat sail together. SuperCat's three daytime crossings, at 90 minutes half an hour quicker than FastCat's, run from 07:30 to 15:30 only. Price is the other variable: Montenegro's ₱576 economy undercuts FastCat's ₱686 and SuperCat's flat ₱720. Calapan, the capital of Oriental Mindoro, has no other route in the timetable, and Abra de Ilog on the island's west side offers the other direct crossing to Luzon (Abra de Ilog to Batangas).
