F.F. Cruz Shipping Corporation dates from 1996, when it was incorporated with its base in Lapuz, on the Iloilo City side of the strait. Its main business, by its own account, is the roll-on roll-off service to Guimaras, which leaves from its Lapuz terminal and lands at the Jordan RoRo Port. The company is a sister firm of FREYFIL Corporation, an engineering contractor in port construction that was once an affiliate of F.F. Cruz and Company.
FF Cruz describes the crossing as daily round trips for passengers, private vehicles and trucks, and its timetable has boats from Iloilo from 3:30 AM to 7:30 PM and from Jordan from 4:30 AM to 8:30 PM. Every trip in the table arrives half an hour after it leaves.
This page shows that table with one adjustment: six departure times from Iloilo on which the company's website and its online booking do not agree are left out, and the note under the timetable lists them.

Why this page shows no peso figure
FF Cruz does not print a fare on its website for either passengers or vehicles. The price appears only inside its online booking on Barkota, for a chosen trip on a chosen date, and this guide does not run booking searches, so no fare is listed here.
Barkota's FF Cruz page does set out the ticket rules: a passage ticket is valid for thirty days from the day it is issued, a rebooking surcharge applies, and tickets are non-refundable.

Lapuz, not Parola; the RoRo port, not the wharf
Iloilo City and Jordan both have more than one landing for Guimaras boats, and FF Cruz uses neither of the busiest passenger wharves.
FF Cruz terminal, Lapuz
FF Cruz's own route map puts its pin on Rizal Street in Lapuz, beside the Iloilo River, and its timetable calls this end "Iloilo-Jordan Port Iloilo". It is not Parola Wharf in the city proper, where other companies' passenger boats to Guimaras load, and it is not the "Iloilo Fastcraft & Roro Terminal" that appears as a separate place on the same map.
Jordan RoRo Port
On Guimaras the FF Cruz route line ends at the Jordan RoRo Port, a little south-west of the Jordan Wharf shown beside it on the operator's map, and the timetable heading names it "Jordan Guimaras Port". Coming back, wait at the RoRo port rather than at the wharf.
Out of the river mouth and over to Jordan
The dotted line on FF Cruz's map leaves the Iloilo River at Lapuz, passes the river mouth and crosses the Iloilo Strait almost due south to Jordan. Arrivals are timed 30 minutes after departure in both directions; the company gives no distance.
Crossing to Guimaras with FF Cruz
- Go to Lapuz
Tell the driver FF Cruz in Lapuz, Rizal Street. Parola Wharf is a different port used by other boat companies.
- One hour ahead
FF Cruz's booking guidelines ask passengers to arrive at the terminal at least one hour before departure.
- Bringing a vehicle
The company describes the route as ideal for passengers, private vehicles and trucks, and states that slots are guaranteed. Vehicle rates are not published.
- Tickets
Online through Barkota or at the terminal. A ticket is valid for 30 days from issue and cannot be refunded.
- Early and late boats
The table starts at 3:30 AM from Iloilo and runs until 8:30 PM from Jordan, the last departure listed.
- Questions
FF Cruz's Iloilo office in Lapuz Norte answers on (033) 501-2120 and (0998) 535-5592.
Other boats between Iloilo City and Guimaras
FF Cruz is not the only way across. A MARINA release of March 12, 2026 describes the passenger boats that run between Parola Wharf in Iloilo City and the Jordan and Buenavista ports on Guimaras, operated by the Guimaras Island Transport Multipurpose Cooperative (GITMPC), BAMOSA Marine Transport Corporation and Buenavista and Jordan Ferry, Inc. Passengers there tap an electronic card or scan a QR code instead of filling in a paper manifest. Those boats use a different wharf in Iloilo, and their times and fares are not part of this page.
FF Cruz's other route links Bay-Ang in Ajuy, northern Iloilo, with Manta-angan in E.B. Magalona, Negros Occidental, a link the company says it began developing in 2013 to shorten the RoRo crossing between Panay and Negros.
