About this crossing

Travellers leaving Surigao for Cebu choose between Cokaliong's overnight ship at 19:00, which docks before dawn, and OceanJet's 13:00, sold as a single trip with a 30-minute stop at Maasin on Leyte, which reaches Cebu in the evening. The return from Cebu follows the same pattern, with a morning fast craft and an evening ship.

Surigao's other departures stay closer to home, to Siargao or across to Southern Leyte, among them the shorter FastCat and OceanJet crossings to Maasin.
