The charge for a motorbike is around 225 to 255 pesos including the driver (depends on size of the bike.)
A small vehicle costs around 580 pesos.
If you are on foot this is not the ferry you are looking for because it is quite a ways out of town, in Tampi , San Jose.
The fast ferry and the pumpboat used by pedestrians are in Sibulan. The fare is around50 pesos.
You can catch a multi cab from the market in Dumaguete to the pier in Sibulan for 9 pesos.
Maayo Shipping is the best option for transporting vehicles.
If you are on the Ceres bus you will get off and sit on the upper deck and be across in 45 minutes or so. It is the easiest way to get from Dumaguete to Cebu City.

I crossed from Cebu to Negros again today – it cost 240 pesos for motorbike and driver, and the waters were choppy due to a low pressure system moving into the area. (Oct 2009)

Hi,
Hey I was wondering if you know of a reliable schedule for the vehicle ferry crossing from negros to santander. I will be traveling by motorcycle sometime around mid April…
Thanks,
stephen
Maayo Shipping leaves to make the passage between Cebu and Negros Island every 90 minutes or so.
They have their own docks and don’t use the port facility at Santander.
Maayo Shipping handles almost all the vehicle traffic between the two islands including all the Ceres Lines buses.
The crossing at Santander is for foot traffic only.

Hi Tonimarie,

I finished my welding course in dumaguete @ CLHIDO. I want to have an OJT as a welder in your company if its okay and what are the requirements?
Hello giovanni,
Why not take a quick trip up to their pier in Tampi – San Jose and inquire at the office?
Its only a half hour from Dumaguete.
Good luck with your prospects!

Hi,
Am trying to get in touch with Maayo Shipping Office to ask of the fares for cars. I will be travelling with my Mitsubishi Strada and wondering how much would be the charge.Secondly, what documents are needed? Thnx
Hello Theo,
The ferry hop between Cebu and Negros is a mere 30 minute ride. You leave and depart from a private pier and I never had to show documents for this trip.
I am not sure the fare for a Strada but probably around 1000 peso.
There are really no other options. Maayo is very efficient and the costs are reasonable.
There are trips every 90 minutes.

hello,
good day! i would like to inquire how much is the rate for a canter type van from cebu to dumaguete? Because we are planning to go to dumaguete next week. Thank you in advance and God bless!
Hello bonnie,
The best bet would be to take the Ceres Bus Lines.

thanks a lot DP for a very informative site…goodluck & God bless you!
