Ferries in the Philippines: trip schedules, peso fares and ports

One page per route: the trips published for the current period, what the ticket costs in pesos, which charges are paid separately, and exactly which port or pier the boat leaves from.

Inter-island trips in the Philippines are run by private shipping lines under the oversight of the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA), and many of them use ports managed by the Philippine Ports Authority (PPA); others run from ports owned by a province or a municipality. The fare on a ticket is often not the whole amount you pay: a terminal fee, a fuel surcharge or a local environmental fee may be collected on top. Each page on this site lists those charges separately, and it only prints a total when the official source gives one.

The kind of vessel matters as much as the time. A RoRo ferry carries cars, motorbikes and cargo as well as passengers; a fast craft is quicker but takes passengers only; a banca is a motorised outrigger boat used on short crossings. The type is shown at the top of every route page.

Schedules are printed as 24-hour times in the tables, with the usual 12-hour reading underneath (06:30 is 6:30 AM). Trips can be suspended when a tropical cyclone wind signal is raised or the Philippine Coast Guard stops sea travel, so the times on this site are the published plan, not a live status.

Fast craft, RoRo ferries and passenger ferries

Whether you can bring a vehicle, how long the trip takes and how much luggage is allowed depend on the vessel. Here are the same routes grouped by the type of boat that sails them.

Common questions about ferry travel in the Philippines

Is the fare on the ticket the full price of the trip?

Not always. Ports can charge a terminal fee, some routes add a fuel surcharge, and a few destinations collect an environmental fee. Each route page lists these charges one by one and says when an amount is not published.

Why are the times written as 24-hour times?

Because that is how they are checked against the shipping line's own schedule. Every time in the tables also shows the 12-hour reading below it, so 13:30 appears with 1:30 PM.

What happens to the trips when a storm signal is raised?

Sea travel can be suspended by the Philippine Coast Guard when a tropical cyclone wind signal is in force, and shipping lines cancel or move trips. On the day, the operator's own announcements override the schedule printed here.

Can I take a car or a motorbike?

Only on routes sailed by RoRo ferries or other vessels that carry rolling cargo, and usually with a separate vehicle fare. Fast craft and bancas take passengers only. The vessel type is shown at the top of every page.

Where do the schedules and fares come from?

From the shipping line's website, its verified social media page or its booking system, and from the Philippine Ports Authority or MARINA where they publish the figure. A dated copy is kept and the date is printed beside each table.

Do you sell tickets?

No. This guide is independent and sells nothing. Tickets are bought from the shipping line, at the port ticket office or through the booking channel the operator names.
