About this crossing

Southern Luzon and the northern tip of Cebu are 147 km apart on the map, and Lite Ferries bridges them with two ships working opposite shifts: LIRIO 16 leaves Matnog at 11:59 and Lite Ferry Six at 23:59, and each takes the other's slot on the way back from Maya (Maya to Matnog). Those are Lite's own printed times, a minute short of noon and midnight, so the late boat belongs to the day shown rather than the next. The route is on Lite's schedule page but cannot be booked in its online booking engine. Maya, in Daanbantayan, also has a nightly Lite boat to Calbayog on Samar (Maya to Calbayog).
