About this crossing

Leaving Samar for Luzon, the useful question is what happens after landing in Matnog. The 07:00 and 15:00 put you on the Sorsogon side at 08:00 and 16:00, with daylight left for the long road north through Bicol. The 23:00 reaches Matnog at 00:00, which suits drivers pressing on overnight more than anyone who needs a room. FastCat's catamarans take vehicles as well as foot passengers across the San Bernardino Strait, and business class at ₱389 is the top fare. The southbound timetable dovetails with this one, so the strait sees a sailing every four hours. For Cebu instead of Luzon, the nearest ship leaves from Calbayog.
