About the Caticlan – Bulalacao crossing
Two sailings a day from Caticlan on Panay to Bulalacao in Oriental Mindoro, at 03:00 and 15:00, arriving 06:30 and 18:30. The crossing takes three and a half hours.
The back door to Boracay
Caticlan Jetty Port is the mainland gateway to Boracay, so this route links one of the country's busiest tourist entry points with southern Mindoro — a stretch of coast with no direct road connection. The 03:00 departure is not a tourist hour; it is a freight and commuter timing.
Roll-on, roll-off — and priced accordingly
These are catamaran RoRo ships, so vehicles board under their own power. Fares on this route run ₱1,188 business, ₱1,109 premium economy, with students at 20% off and children under four free.
