About this crossing

FastCat keeps the most regular pattern of the five companies crossing to Dapitan, leaving every six hours around the clock, starting at 02:00, on a four-hour passage. Lite Ferries takes an hour longer, with a 06:00 every day and a 01:00 from Monday to Saturday that is its Oslob boat calling on the way. Montenegro sails at 12:00 and 20:00, Evaristo and Sons' roll-on/roll-off ship leaves at 04:30, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays Cokaliong's 07:00 continues here from Cebu.

Dipolog, 8 km along the coast in Zamboanga del Norte, has only two direct sailings a week from Dumaguete (Dumaguete to Dipolog), which makes Dapitan the practical landing for both cities. For the way back, see Dapitan to Dumaguete.
