About the General Santos – Davao City crossing
20:30 every day, 540 minutes, ₱1,670 at the floor. Leaving at half past eight in the evening and running nine hours puts the ship into Davao in the early morning.
By sea between two Mindanao cities
The road between General Santos and Davao is about three hours. The ship is not competing on time — it is carrying vehicles, freight and passengers for whom a berth and a fare beat a bus at either end of a working day.
No weekend variant, no expiry
The listing has held since 1 January 2026 with no end date. Philippine operators revise by notice rather than by season, so an open-ended plan is normal here.
One departure a day
There is no morning sailing and no second evening option. Half past eight is the whole of the offer, seven days a week.
