About Starlite
Starlite Ferries started its operations in 1995. At that time, there was an increased demand for sea travel from Mindoro passengers. Starlite Ferries was the first to respond to this need, and the rest is history. They are now a brand that’s beloved by both commuters and tourists. Another fun fact about the company: it’s the first Philippine ferry operator to run a FamilyMart convenience store aboard its ships!
