About the Tagbilaran – Cebu crossing
Northbound the count drops to 126 sailings a week and one operator fewer: Lite Ferries, OceanJet and SuperCat work this direction, without 2GO. Eighteen departures still, running 06:00 to 23:59.
The last sailing at one minute to midnight is the difference between the two directions. Southbound the day finishes at 22:00; from Bohol it runs right to the end of the clock, which suits passengers connecting onward from Cebu's ports and airport the following morning.
Bohol's economy leans on that connection — tourism to the Chocolate Hills and the tarsier sanctuaries, and agricultural freight moving the other way. The 240-minute conventional sailings carry what the 120-minute fast craft cannot: trucks, and the goods a province of a million and a half people consumes.
