PLAN YOUR ARRIVAL
Your Journey to Cebu Begins Here

Your private yacht escape with CILYC begins the moment you plan your arrival.
​
Cebu is the maritime heart of the Philippines — effortlessly accessible, internationally connected, and surrounded by world-class island destinations. Whether arriving by air or by sea, your transition from travel to luxury is seamless.
​
And once you arrive — your yacht awaits.
The Executive Arrival — Fly Direct to Cebu
The most seamless way to reach your charter is via Mactan–Cebu International Airport (CEB), located on Mactan Island — just minutes from premier marinas and jump-off points for island cruising.

• Estimated fare: ₱1,500 – ₱5,500 one way
