Manila to Caticlan by ferry

Country forums / South-East Asia Islands & Peninsula / Philippines

Hi
Anyone know if the MBRS ferries are running to Caticlan and back to Manila. I read of some threads they had stopped for a while. Their website doesn't seem to have online booking. Are their other ferries as I want to minimize my flying?
Cheers

Unfortunately not yet until now and no word when will it resume. There are talks about bankruptcy (sp?) and the like.

As of July '06 MBRS Lines were still running 2 ships to Caticlan.
MV Virgin Mary sails on Mondays and Fridays at 5PM
MV Mary The Queen sails on wednesdays at 5PM.

Both vessels depart from Pier 8 in the North Port. Visit the website at mbrslines.com
