Ishigaki Boat Sea Fishing Tour

Enjoy a fishing boat experience on the blue Ishigaki Sea

Discover a unique fishing experience aboard a boat in the azure waters of Ishigaki Island, Japan. Casting your line while feeling the cool breeze on the ocean will make your trip with family, loved ones, and friends even more special.
This tour is perfect for families seeking a unique experience with children, couples seeking a romantic activity, beginners trying their hand at fishing for the first time, and even seniors and parents looking to enjoy the trip at a leisurely pace. Don't worry if you're not familiar with fishing. All gear and bait are provided, and the captain will kindly guide you through the use of the equipment and how to target specific fishing spots, ensuring even beginners can enjoy their first bite.
This tour is a small-scale fishing boat tour, with a minimum of two participants. Unlike large commercial boats, this experience offers a more relaxed and private atmosphere. For those who only want a half-day, a four-hour course is available, available in the morning or afternoon. If desired, the tour can be extended to a full day.
The highlight of any fishing experience is savoring your catch. We're partnered with a local izakaya, and you can have your catch prepared sashimi or grilled upon request. On clear days, you can even opt for a sunset barbecue while gazing at the setting sun over the sea. This unique activity, unique to Ishigaki, allows you to experience both fishing and local food culture all in one.
