About this crossing

Masbate belongs to the Bicol Region rather than the Visayas, and this Cokaliong sailing is its direct line to Cebu, heading north across the Visayan Sea from 19:00 to a 07:00 arrival in Masbate City, the provincial capital.

For anyone going further, the island works as a stepping stone to Luzon. Montenegro Shipping sails from Masbate to Pilar in Sorsogon six times a day, so Cebu, Masbate and Pilar together form a sea route to southern Luzon that never touches Manila. Anyone returning to Cebu has one chance a week: the ship heads back from Masbate at 19:00 on Sunday, the same day it arrives (Masbate to Cebu).
