About the Batangas – Romblon crossing
One sailing a day, leaving Batangas at 17.00 for Romblon — a nine-hour passage that puts you ashore in the small hours.
The awkward arrival
Where the return leg is timed to be slept through (21.00 out of Romblon, morning arrival), this direction lands you around two in the morning. If Romblon is your destination rather than a transit point, that is worth planning for before you book.
Batangas as a junction
The same port sends a 17.00 departure to Odiongan on Tablas the same evening, and works Calapan twelve times a day. Romblon is the thinnest of those services — one boat, no alternative.
Practical
Montenegro Shipping Lines operates the crossing with RoRo tonnage carrying vehicles and freight alongside passengers. Departures move with sea conditions; typhoon season can cancel them outright.
