About Phimal Fast Ferry

To get to the most picturesque islands you cannot avoid taking a ferry. Some destinations are served by larger and more stable car ferries, others are connected by smaller but faster high speedboats or catamarans. If you easily get seasick, avoid travelling by catamaran which rides the waves when the sea is rough – rather opt for a high speed boat as it cuts the water what results in a less rock-and-rolling trip. Also, taking a seat on an upper open-air deck may help weather high waves. Phimal Fast Ferry offers online tickets for ferry trips – it is not even necessary to pop in at their office to buy one.

What are the Ferry Classes & Prices of Phimal Fast Ferry?

The rule of thumb is the faster the boat, the higher the price is. Before booking, decide whether you need an express service or slower options are also acceptable. The rates for the latter are much more affordable. Yet the difference in the travel time may be really huge, so always check how long the ferry trip takes before you book your ticket. Also, the availability of some classes can be limited and always requires advanced booking. Always remember to check the pier your boat leaves from and docks at to choose the most convenient one for your onward trip and read other travellers' reviews.

Pros & Cons of Ferry Travel

Pros of Ferry Travel

  • To take a ship is the only way to reach some of the islands. And in many cases – some of the most beautiful, postcard and paradise islands you have always wished to go!
  • Different ticket classes are often available so you will be able to choose the fare, level of comfort, travel time, and schedule which suits you best.
  • Book online to save time – on many routes, booking in advance is an absolute must. In the first place, it concerns longer trips, trips on busy periods like national holidays, long weekends or high season. It is a good idea to book at least several days prior to your travel date if your route is served by a limited number of trips per day, too.
  • Travelling by ferry is fun. It is always nice to have a look at the places you have visited from another angle – well, in this case – from water. Almost any destination looks terrific from water and you will have a great opportunity to take brilliant pictures.

Cons of Ferry Travel

  • Getting seasick is the major concern for ferry travellers. The longer is the trip and the rougher the sea is, the more chances to feel your stomach protesting. To make your trip more enjoyable, take the medicine half an hour before your trip and follow our recommendations from above.
  • Ferry trips are highly weather dependent. It means that on rainy days departures can be delayed or even cancelled. It is not an uncommon thing to close the ferry connections even with bigger islands during stormy weather for several days. It means you should keep this possibility in mind if your ferry trip connects with a flight – chances to get to the mainland later than expected can be high during certain periods.

It says 3.5hrs but actually it took 5.5hrs. And the ferry was shaking a lot. Many people vomited. Terrible.

Not great at all. Some of the staff on board are nice but the boat is really old and there were lots of flies. The sea sickness was awful. About 50% of people were throwing up! I’d recommend getting a more expensive boat where you’d be more comfortable. The toilets were horrible and water would somehow leak in?

Well... the time of departure at 8h20am is convenient and that's pretty much it... It is indeed an old boat and you are in the lower deck with no air. It's a very rocky/bumpy ride and a lot of people got sick. The crew provided sickness bags. Good advice take medications for seasickness with you and warm clothes but for once the A.C. is not that cold. And yes the boat was late is was almost 5 hours and not 4 and you wait until they unload the luggages... If you want an early but not as early the 6am ferry and are not subject to seasickness it is okay... otherwise take a flight or the afternoon ferry.

The ferry started on time and the boarding process was quite smooth. The folks at the ferry terminal and their office are very helpful but... The ferry seats are located below the deck and are very uncomfortable for a 4.5 hour journey. On our trip a number of people felt sick and had to repeatedly use the sea sickness bags. Not sure whether the other options are any better but in general is a very bad experience for such a long journey.

Too cramped for tall people (my height is 6.1) Water dripping on the seat continually Too crowded And very Expensive. I could give 500-1000peso more next time and go in a flight instead

Crowded, seats way to close to each other. If you are over 190cm, it is almost impossible to sit without getting your knees smashed in the seat in front of you. We were told that the ac was very cold and that we should wear warm clothes. The ac was almost none existing. It was so warm and humid!

Worse!! Never again. They don't mind the waves being strong, they still run the boat very fast. We all puked inside because of it. They provided the plastic bags when a lot of the guests can't manage to go the the restroom because the lines are getting long. It was not well ventilated as well (I guess that's one factor). The crew should've been more concerned with the welfare of the guests than meeting the expected time arrival considering the situation. Shame to us Filipinos for letting foreigners experience such.
