About this crossing
Four sailings a day between Roxas on Oriental Mindoro and Caticlan — the mainland gateway to Boracay — running from 04.00 to 20.00.
The four in the morning matters
A first departure at four is not a tourist timetable. It exists so that vehicles and freight moving down the nautical highway can clear the crossing early, and so that passengers connecting onward from Caticlan have the day ahead of them rather than behind.
A route that avoids Luzon
Most of Montenegro Shipping Lines's network radiates from Batangas in the north. This one does not touch it: Roxas–Caticlan connects Mindoro directly to Panay, cutting out the long way round through Luzon entirely.
Both directions, same shape
Caticlan to Roxas also runs four times between 04.00 and 20.00, so the service is symmetrical — unusual on this network, where most routes carry a different number of sailings each way. Departures move with weather and sea state.
