Lite Shipping Corporation, operating under the brand Lite Ferries, is proud to announce the expansion of its seafaring network with the launch of its newest flagship route: Batangas to Caticlan.
Beginning early May 2026, travelers can experience a seamless connection to the heart of Western Visayas aboard the company’s latest pride, the Lite Ferry Twenty. This state-of-the-art, brand-new vessel represents a significant leap forward in maritime comfort and operational efficiency for the Philippine shipping industry.
The introduction of the Batangas–Caticlan line offers a strategic alternative for tourists, traders, and “uwi-probinsya” travelers looking to bypass airport congestion. As the gateway to the world-famous Boracay Island, Caticlan is now more accessible than ever via a premium sea-travel experience.
Key highlights of the new service:
-
The Lite Ferry Twenty Experience: A brand-new ship equipped with modern amenities, enhanced safety features, and superior cabin accommodations designed for a “better journey.”
-
Gateway to Boracay: Arrive directly in Caticlan, the primary jump-off point for the country’s most iconic white-sand beaches.
-
Western Nautical Link: This route strengthens the connection between Luzon and the Western Visayas, facilitating smoother logistics and passenger flow.
“Lite Ferries is committed to connecting the Philippine islands with a younger, faster, and more reliable fleet,” said a spokesperson for Lite Shipping Corporation. “With the Lite Ferry Twenty, we aren’t just moving people; we are elevating the standard of what a ferry journey should feel like.”
In anticipation of the high demand for the summer season, Lite Ferries has opened its digital booking gates. Passengers are encouraged to plan their island getaways early to secure the best rates and preferred accommodations.
