2GO Travel runs a weekly liner/RoRo service between Tagbilaran Pier and Manila — the only confirmed sea link on this route, and a slow one. This is not a time-competitive alternative to flying; it’s for travelers who want to skip a hotel night, move a vehicle, or bring more luggage than a flight allows.

The honest comparison: 18-22 hours by sea vs. 1.5 hours by air
Philippine Airlines and Cebu Pacific both fly Manila-Bohol multiple times daily, in about 1.5 hours. 2GO’s liner takes 18 to 22 hours. Nobody chooses the boat because it’s faster — they choose it because the fare can undercut a flight once baggage and a hotel night are factored in, because they’re moving cargo or a vehicle, or because the overnight crossing doubles as a night’s accommodation. If time matters more than cost, fly.
What’s confirmed, and what isn’t
The route runs weekly, per Tagbilaran Pier’s own operator listing. [FACT NEEDED: confirm Manila-Tagbilaran fare — cabin tiers likely mirror 2GO's fleet-wide Mega Value/Super Value/Cabin/Stateroom/Suiteroom system, but confirm before stating a price]. For cabin-tier detail and how 2GO’s class system works fleet-wide, see the 2GO Travel operator page rather than assuming it’s identical on every route — confirm specifics for this leg before booking.
