2GO Group and FastCat launched BiyaheConnect—a seamless travel service that integrates FastCat’s fast ferry routes with 2GO Travel’s long-haul voyages.
The initiative aims to enhance inter-island connectivity, allowing passengers to efficiently plan their journeys across more destinations via major ports in Batangas, Caticlan, Cebu, and Dumaguete, 2GO said in a statement. FastCat is the flagship brand of Archipelago Philippine Ferries Corp. (AFPC).

“BiyaheConnect stands as a testament to the synergy between FastCat and 2GO Travel, reinforcing their shared commitment to improving mobility and convenience for travelers exploring the Philippine islands,” 2GO said.

“We are excited to partner with FastCat to strengthen 2GO Travel’s network and improve sea travel connectivity across the Philippines,” 2GO retail business unit head Blessie Cruz said,

“FastCat passengers can now enjoy 2GO’s elevated, cruise-like experience for longer journeys, while benefiting from a smoother transition between services. This partnership makes inter-island travel more convenient and accessible,” Cruz added.

Mary Ann Pastrana, AFPC executive vice president, shared, “We no longer view each other as competitors in the same market. We are co-navigators in a shared mission—to unify our islands, make our services more accessible, and amplify our impact on the lives of the Filipino people. Together, we create synergies that strengthen both our companies and, more importantly, bring greater value and convenience to the very people we exist to serve.”

With BiyaheConnect, FastCat retail outlets now offer 2GO tickets, giving passengers expanded travel options to destinations beyond FastCat’s current network.
