New Fast Craft Catamaran From Bantayan Island To Cebu

[@DenaliSue]

I absolutely love how detailed you are with things.

[@TropicalTimInthePhilippines]

Pretty awesome! I'll have to check that out if ever I get that way. Thanks for inviting me along!

[@charleshueckstaedt5064]

i always enjoy your videos ..salamat.....

Nice fast ferry and cool vlog

[@junandan6580]

that's very nice. In the 70's-80's only small pump boats are available and only 1 trip per day.

[@FlowerForYouBRUNO]

wow i’m going back to Bantayan with this new catamaran

[@chrislaveen543]

Got to ride this cat last month on the way to Bantayan. I may have paid P400 for the VIP lounge on the upper deck, such a sweet deal. On the return trip back to Cebu, vessel was unavailable for service due to rough sea condition. That was the excused dispensed by the ticket office despite being such a beautiful day...Cheers !!!

[@GenelysKitchen]

I never been there in fast craft ferry catamaran. Nice weather for traveling to bantayan island.

[@salemstvmixedvlogs]

Good and safe travel by fast ferry

[@markmessick9856]

Very nice ferry, I would agree that it's twice as fast as a regular ferry

[@李沙-h8p]

we supply this ferry from China

[@elladsm2002]

The long trip going to Bantayan is well worth it . We visited the island last June and planning definitely to go back but during the time we were there, the fast craft's trips were cancelled the other day and during the day we were about to leave was on a later time for us as we were about to catch our flight back to Manila.

[@HuangHwei]

Wow Catamaran Fastcraft is back in Bantayan Island!!I wish they will change route travelling directly to Cebu City instead of Hagnaya.

[@boracay12]

in florida as you probably know , they pump the sand at the jetty's to the leeward side to replenish the beach . my 23 foot boat I had I florida made a bigger wake when it was not on plane . once its up to speed , there is less hull is in the water . those fast crafts are in nice condition .

[@scuzzola]

On Vancouver Island, where I'm from they had "Fast ferries" between Vancouver and Nanaimo. Millions and millions of dollars later, they found that the wakes they were kicking up were ruining the coastline of many of the small islands, and the inlet that they traversed. They had to scrap the ferries.

[@johloz]

Nice way to get to Cebu. What part of Cebu did you land? That area doesn't look like the Cebu port area. Did you pass the Mactan bridge? Is it true that this service is no longer available?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

We went from Bantayan Island Santa fe port to the north tip of Cebu Island at Hagnaya port then we take a bus to Cebu city. Yes the fast craft ferry is no longer in service, it was nice while it lasted😊

[@phillipgl960]

Nice vlog

[@gracejonesgj3368]

This gives me an idea Sir, i am planning to go to bantayan but i was hesitant cause i dont like travelling for how many hour in a bus. Thank you for sharing.... Mabuhay 🇵🇭

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

If you ride the bus be sure to get the air conditioned bus. The bus makes a rest stop about half way so you can get drinks and snacks and a restroom stop. Beware the restrooms are not clean and you pay 5 pesos to use them, it's just a reality here and in almost every underdeveloped country. The bus may have a english (hollywood) movie showing too for your entertainment.

[@gracejonesgj3368]

Its too far riding a bus 😐 i am always having a problem with that. But if i go for the fast ferry i go direct to the port. Do u have a schedule of their trips Sir. Thank you.

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

@@gracejonesgj3368 You have to ride the bus (3 hours) to get to the ferry port in Hagnaya at the north end of Cebu island.

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

@@fritzallainea.escarro4619 You can sometimes get a taxi for 600 to 800 if you bargain with them to go from cebu city to hagnaya port to get to the fast craft to Bantayan island.

[@dr.timothyfuller8763]

I am coming to cebu and want to go to batanyan island. How do I get to the the fast track catamaran

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Just go to hagnaya port, it should be running about every 2 hours. The regular ferries run about every 1 hour. If coming from cebu city, go to the north bus terminal and catch a bus to hagnaya (not bantayan bus because it goes on the regular ferry to bantayan island). You actually could take the bantayan bus and just get off at hagnaya port.

[@capzcelle2121]

How fast it is?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

I'm guessing since it about 12 miles and it takes about 1 hour that would be about 12 miles per hour average speed so it is probably a little faster than that because of the time to dock is not in my calculation.

Magandang Byahe.

[@GSYMdaseatistaken]

Good day sir! How much is the fare for the fastcraft from bantayan to cebu?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

About 200 to 220 for adults and about 160 to 175 for seniors. It was oir first trip so I don't have the exact amount. The regular ferry for 1 adult and a senion is 333 pesos total and the fast craft for 1 adult and a senior was 375 pesos so not much difference in price.

[@gregbolitho9775]

the cowboy that owns that hat, could be the captain, just because they are airconned, faster, don't mean better eh! in 1987, went from manial to puerto galera, in cupla hours, no aircon. rippa trip! you an yours stay safe m8

[@leolopponen9010]

Have to inform about this Fast Craft a new info from November 2019. It does NOT RUN anymore!! Maybe there was too less passengers compared RoRo ship from Hagnaya to Santa Fe....but anyway, this is the situation now... :(

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

Yes it went bankrupt, i rode it everytime to support it. It usually had about 25 passengers and would hold maybe 200 so the math just doesn't work out and it was a very bad hull design taking too much fuel to push thru the water.

[@leolopponen9010]

@@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030 Sad but true! 1 month exactly and then a short 1 month visit to our 2th home in Cebu. Maybe visit in Bantayan also...?

[@calroach1]

People are slow to change here like most places. I was really excited when I saw your video. That bus ride and then ferry from Cebu City to Bantayan Island is a beast :(

[@leolopponen9010]

@@calroach1 This Fast Craft didn`t went all the way to Cebu City ports but only across from Santa Fe to Cebu Island...Still there is only the ride by a bus to Hagnaya. Soon an option from Mactan or Manila... Domestic FLIGHTS to Bantayan airport.

[@MykTAOfficial]

This is incat or not? For very little passengers, the craft wont survive since a fuel co sumption to its engine is massive. We are talking turbine engine same on the airplanes used to fly and same with craft. I think this craft should operate in the ports of cebu city since there are alot of passengers.... this craft if full will be faster than oceanjet maybe...

[@ericjohndonos5117]

what port in cebu is that?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

The port on Cebu island is Hagnaya, it is at the north end of Cebu island and on the west side near the town of San Remigio.

[@ericjohndonos5117]

tnx for the quick reply ,that fast craft looks like a luxury yacht at the vip section 🍺🍺

[@chazzystewyjourney7160]

Which port of Cebu?

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

The port on Cebu island is Hagnaya, it is at the north end and on the west side near the town of San Remigio. The port/town on Bantayan island is Santa Fe which is also the tourist area.

[@chazzystewyjourney7160]

My Paradise on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines Thanks!

[@NurseTalking]

The number of passengers is not enough to sustain the cost of the trip. That's probably why it didn't last. My trip going to Catalina Island on a Fast craft is always full. We'll that was before the pandemic. New sub here sir from California but I am from Cebu.

[@rodrigoevangelista85]

[@Velsbasketcase]

Very few passengers, maybe it didnt even cover the cost of fuel, with wakes like that its wasting lots of diesel.

[@boracay12]

I wonder about that . its like that often .

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

I don't think they are making any profit yet, only about 15 to 20 passengers on board.

[@lionhearted1969]

My Paradise on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines Of course, that’s their maiden trip. Not yet many people know about the new mode of transport. Fast ferry will surely succeed because most tourists are turned off to go to Bantayan island via land because of long trip. With fast ferry, I’m sure this will surely, albeit gradually, attract passengers to opt for this type of transport rather than brave the heavy traffic on land which can take more than 4 to 5 hours plus another 45 minutes on slow ferry. Wi5 fast ferry, you only need t9 take one ride from Cebu City to your final destination.

[@myparadiseonbantayanisland9030]

@@lionhearted1969 the fast ferry is from cebu island at hagnaya port, you still need to take the bus from cebu city to the port (3 hour ride).

[@lionhearted1969]

My Paradise on Bantayan Island, Cebu, Philippines I see. But still, it’s a maiden operation. Surely, all businesses start from few sales to even nothing. As time goes by, as more and more people become familiar with the service, I’m sure it will be successful. But I hope somebody will put up a fast ferry service between Bantayan is.and and Cebu City.
