FAQs
Which Philippines marina should I depart from?
Puerto Galera for Mindoro weeks. Coron/Palawan when the operator bases there. They are separate products.
Do I need to book marina berths in advance?
Many nights are anchorage or simple quays. Base nights still need a clear turnaround plan in peak months.
Is typhoon season a problem?
It can be. We will be honest if your dates sit in a poor weather window.
Is skippered charter more common?
Yes for most visitors. Reefs and local knowledge reward a skipper.
Can I sail from Puerto Galera to Coron in one week?
Not as a relaxed charter. Treat them as two different weeks.
