Instead of public ferries, you can hire a water taxi; travel time is only 30 minutes from Berberabe Pier, Batangas to Sabang Pier, or Muelle Pier, Puerto Galera. The water taxi service costs 12000 pesos for 1 to 10 persons and an additional 550 pesos per person in excess of 10 persons. Maximum capacity is from 16 to 22 persons depending on the size of the water taxi. The Water Taxi departs and docks at Berberabe Pier, Batangas City.

Passenger Pooling – There is an option to share the water taxi cost to reduce the cost per person. This arrangement entails a fixed time of departure for all passengers and the cost per person may depend on the number of passengers sharing the trip.
