A trip to Cuyo from Puerto Princesa means four days on the island. Montenegro's M/V Maria Isabel leaves on Tuesday afternoon, lands at 06:00 on Wednesday and then carries on to Iloilo, and it does not call again on its way back until Sunday, when the return sailing leaves Cuyo at 14:00. The island lies out in the Sulu Sea, 276 km from Palawan's capital on the map, and this is the only boat between the two in our listings. For Panay, stay aboard: the voyage continues as Puerto Princesa to Iloilo.
