About this crossing

The lowest fare on this crossing belongs to Cokaliong, not FastCat. Its Economy ticket costs ₱540, against ₱653 for FastCat's cheapest seat and ₱732 for Lite Ferries, and its 16:00 boat is timetabled at the same four hours as FastCat, though it sails only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, on its way to Cebu. Lite's 13:00 departure is the slow one at six hours, reaching Dumaguete at 19:00, an hour after the FastCat that left at 14:00.

FastCat's four daily departures are spaced six hours apart, from 02:00 to 20:00, so there is a boat in the small hours, the morning, the afternoon and the evening. Neighbouring Dipolog has its own Sunday Lite Ferries sailing to the same port, and the Dumaguete to Dapitan timetable has several morning departures.
