One-way adult fares as displayed on OceanJet's booking site for every November 2026 date checked, in both directions. The booking fee for online purchases is added once passenger details are entered, its amount is not published, and it is not refunded. No port terminal fee is shown for this route on the booking site, so none is added here; any fee collected at the port would be on top. Discounted student, PWD and senior citizen fares are only for Filipino nationals with a verified ID. All fares in Philippine pesos (PHP).
Between Cebu City and Tagbilaran in Bohol, OceanJet's booking site shows twelve fast-craft departures in each direction on an ordinary November day. The first leaves Cebu Pier 1 at 05:10 and the last at 17:40; from Tagbilaran Port the day starts at 06:00 and ends with the 17:40. Most crossings are timed at two hours, a few at one hour fifty minutes. On 2 November 2026 an extra evening boat runs each way, and on 7 November one more leaves Cebu at 18:40.
A one-way adult ticket is ₱960 in Tourist Class or Open Air, the same price for both, and ₱1,450 in Business Class. Those are the prices on the search results page. Buying online adds a booking fee after the passenger details step, and that fee stays with OceanJet if the trip is cancelled. Reduced fares for students, persons with disability and senior citizens apply to Filipino nationals once their ID has been verified.
In Cebu, OceanJet's Pier 1 ticketing office opens at 4 am, before the first departure, and closes at 6 pm. The company's Tagbilaran office is at the Gallares Building on Ma. Clara Street in Cogon, open from 4:30 am to 6:30 pm. Ticket holders are asked to check in at least half an hour before sailing and to show an ID with the same name as the ticket.
Baggage rules changed on 6 February 2026. Tourist Class and Open Air passengers carry 10 kg free and must check in trolleys and collapsible bags; Business Class allows 20 kg and one trolley in the cabin. OceanJet's February baggage table starts excess weight on Cebu–Tagbilaran at ₱15 per kilo in either direction, with higher rates for heavier loads and fragile items; its fuel advisory of 20 March 2026 put a temporary 20% on top of excess-baggage and fragile-item charges from 23 March, with no end date published. Animals stay out of the cabins: they ride crated in an open-air area, with a Bureau of Animal Industry quarantine permit.
Lite Shipping Corporation also links Cebu Pier 1 with Tagbilaran on its own ships and booking site, and SuperCat keeps the route on its price list with no trips showing. OceanJet says its tickets are valid only for the voyage shown on them and cannot be transferred.
- Arrive at the port well before departure; some shipping lines ask passengers to check in up to two hours ahead.
- Check the shipping line's advisories on the day — typhoons and storm warnings can cancel or delay trips.
- Check baggage limits and pet rules before you travel; excess baggage is charged by weight and pets need permits and a cage.
