About
About Bato
Departures leave Bato at 05:00, 08:00, 10:30, 14:00, 17:00, 20:00 and 23:30 — and the boats from Tampi leave at exactly the same seven times, so a pair of vessels passes mid-strait on every run. Each takes 30 minutes; Maayo Shipping runs all 49 sailings a week in each direction.
An 18-and-a-half-hour operating window on a half-hour hop is what a road link looks like when the road happens to be water. The Tañon Strait separates Cebu from Negros along its whole length, and this is one of the narrowest points on it — the reason the crossing survives while longer routes across the same channel have not.
Bato sits at the far southern tip of Cebu island, in the municipality of Santander, far enough from Cebu City that Dumaguete on the Negros side is the nearer city by some distance. For anyone in the far south of Cebu, the ferry is not an alternative to driving north — it is the short way to somewhere else entirely.
