About this crossing

Two speeds share Bohol's busiest crossing. OceanJet fills the day with twelve fast craft, each timed at about two hours, while Lite Ferries' ships take four.

The evening is the gap to plan around. After OceanJet's 17:40 the only later sailing is Lite Ferries' 23:59, which reaches Cebu at 03:59 and runs only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, when that ship comes through from Plaridel and Larena. On other nights Tubigon, 36 km up the coast, fills the gap, with Lite Ferries and FastCat both sailing from there late in the evening.
