About the Cebu – Tubigon crossing
Two operators, FastCat and Lite Ferries, together provide 12 daily sailings between Cebu and Tubigon, a crossing of around 30 nautical miles. This domestic route in the Philippines operates every day of the week. The first ferry of the day departs at 01:00 and the last leaves at 22:00, with a scheduled crossing time of two hours for all sailings. Fares start from ₱396, though the final price can change based on the season and vehicle type.
Timetable and Booking
The high frequency of departures, averaging one every two hours, means travellers have considerable flexibility throughout the day. The schedule runs from early morning through to late evening, accommodating a wide range of travel plans. With 12 sailings available daily, it is generally not necessary to book far in advance for foot passenger travel, but securing a vehicle space may require earlier reservation.
The route connects Cebu City with the port of Tubigon on the island of Bohol. From Cebu, other direct ferry services connect to destinations including Cagayan de Oro, Dapitan, and Dumaguete. Tubigon's ferry connections are primarily with Cebu City and its metropolitan area ports like Ouano and Talisay.
