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.

From Manila to Cebu
• Flight time: approx. 1 hour 20 minutes
• Estimated fare: ₱1,500 – ₱5,500 one way
• Multiple daily departures
International Arrivals

Direct connections from Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, Hong Kong, and other major Asian cities make Cebu a preferred luxury gateway — avoiding the congestion of Manila.

Why this is ideal for CILYC guests:

• Fastest transition from runway to yacht
• Minimal transfers
• Perfect for 4-hour Private Yacht Escape or Golden Hour cruises

Private premium transfers to your embarkation point can be arranged upon request.

For guests curating a multi-destination Philippine journey, Cebu connects seamlessly by ferry across the Visayas.
