A new addition to our team, Ghea manages three boats of capacity around 10-12 and lives with her crews in Pical, near Sibaltan. She has one of the wakesurf boards and speargun. Back to our boat sizes and list of boat operators.
Boat operator Rosela
A recent addition to our team but so far has been yielding good results. Her boats are slightly smaller, with capacity for 15 people, but she prefers a maximum of 6, for greater safety. Also based in Linapacan. This is now our main choice as she charges 5,000p less than the others. If you are afraid of big waves, you can upgrade to a larger boat with one of our other operators. She has three boats about the same size and manages three crews. You can join or book one of our private custom Palawan boat tours between El Nido and Coron. Tons of paradise beach islands to see along the way,…
Boat Operator Ben
Ben’s brother lives in Sibaltan, where he also has a boat, and a hut for you to sleep in the dorm loft if you’d like a rural experience for only 100-200 a night. Having a boat in Sibaltan makes it possible to take a boat trip to Linapacan or even Coron and all the way back to Sibaltan for a good price. Pictures soon to follow but his prices are as follows (he has many sized boats, and a speedboat): Sibaltan to Linapacan (or back), 3 days big boat (maximum 8pax) – 23,000p small boat (max 3pax) – 17,000p (size of waves allowing) Sibaltan to Coron (or back – or…

Boat Operator – Alvin
A fisherman by trade, Alvin lives on Patoyo island and was our neighbour for our first project on that island. Since then he has painted and fixed up his boat and engine, as shown in the picture to the left. He often brings in crucial supplies to our camp. He can do local tours in the Linapacan area for around 2,000p for five people max (depends on the waves), with lunch at his place (below). He can also take two people with gear max to either Coron or Sibaltan, depending on the waves, for about 5-6000p total. This would be a one day trip and include a bit of island…

There is a small lagoon at the end of his beach for interesting snorkeling, and a small private beach just around the corner from that. Two of his boats bobbing in the background, the left his smaller one and suitable for locals tours, the right one larger, for…
