2GO, the Philippines’ leading provider of sea travel and logistics solutions, has officially joined forces with FastCat to introduce BiyaheConnect—a unified travel service that seamlessly combines FastCat’s fast ferry routes with 2GO Travel’s long-distance voyages. This new offering aims to make island-hopping across the country smoother and more accessible, connecting major ports including Batangas, Caticlan, Cebu, and Dumaguete.
BiyaheConnect highlights the powerful partnership between 2GO Travel and FastCat, underscoring their mutual commitment to enhancing convenience and mobility for travelers navigating the Philippine archipelago. By integrating their services, the two companies are expanding their reach and providing a more efficient and hassle-free sea travel experience.
“We’re thrilled to collaborate with FastCat to further strengthen our network and make inter-island travel even more convenient,” said Blessie Cruz, 2GO’s Retail Business Unit Head. “Passengers can now enjoy the comfort and elevated cruise-like experience of 2GO for longer journeys, with an easy transition from FastCat’s ferries. This partnership is about making travel easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable.”
FastCat Executive Vice President Mary Ann Pastrana echoed the excitement. “We no longer see each other as competitors—we are partners navigating the same course. Together, we’re working to bridge our islands, enhance accessibility, and increase the value we deliver to the Filipino people. This collaboration allows us to offer more than what we could individually.”
As part of the BiyaheConnect rollout, 2GO tickets are now available at FastCat retail outlets, giving travelers expanded options and access to destinations beyond FastCat’s traditional routes.
