Port Overview
The Port of Esperanza is located on the southernmost tip of Masbate province, and is a stone’s throw to the northernmost port of Bogo City in Cebu province. With only 2 to 3 hours to negotiate the distance between Esperanza and Bogo City, commuters avoiding a long sea travel will find the port convenient for them. It is a practical jump off point to the fish-rich Bantayan Island and other fishing areas in Northern Cebu and to Malapascua Island, a popular dive site.
