About this crossing
Drivers heading for Masbate from the Bicol side have three roll-on/roll-off departures to choose from, at 00:00, 08:00 and 20:00; the afternoon sailings at 12:00, 14:00 and 16:00 are Montenegro's fast craft, and nothing leaves in the rest of the morning after 08:00. Arrival times are not published. Pilar carries Masbate's busiest ferry link, and the Masbate to Pilar timetable has as many boats, to a different clock. For Samar rather than Masbate, Matnog, at the southern tip of Sorsogon province, is the port to head for.
