Times vary from week to week. Montenegro posts each week's sailing on its Facebook page. It left Cuyo on Sunday at 14:00 in four of the six weeks from late July, and on a Saturday or a Tuesday in the other two.
Palawan's capital is an afternoon and a night away from Cuyo: the crossing runs south-west across the Sulu Sea and reaches Puerto Princesa at 06:00 on Monday. It is the last leg of Montenegro's weekly loop, the M/V Maria Isabel having come in from Iloilo in the small hours of Sunday. The catch is the return. The boat back to Cuyo leaves Puerto Princesa at 14:00 on Tuesday, a day and a half after this one lands, and missing it means waiting a week. From Puerto Princesa, 2GO sails on to Coron and Manila.
