Speed plus comfort is equal to Weesam Express.
This is exactly what you need if you want to travel with comfort and cheap to the wonderful island of Bohol. At no time at all, you will appreciate the oldest stone Church in the country at Baclayon, climb the Chocolate Hills, hug the lovely tarsiers and even take a dip in Balicasag for a view of the underwater world.
Traveling at its safe speed, you will dock at the Tagbilaran port of Bohol right on schedule. No sweat and no seasickness at all.
You are assured of a comfortable ride with their five-star like facilities, air-conditioned economy and business accommodations, and friendly staff. If you feel claustrophobic and hates any air conditioning, you could opt for the open-air accommodation with the view of the flying fishes, nearby islands and even portions of the famous Chocolate Hills.
Not only your comfort is taken into consideration but also your safety as all places of the fastcraft is monitored through a live feed at the bridge. The seats, panels and other fixtures are fire resistant and fire extinguishers are within easy reach in case of emergency. During extreme situations, life vests are under the seats and passengers could be easily evacuated through the doors and windows.

Mr. Padilla said they would like to look after the comfort and safety of each passenger, as a way of boosting the tourism industry in each Weesam Express destination. He said both frequent and occasional travelers should not be inconvenience of getting hungry, sweaty or tired during the whole duration of the travel.
