"Private tour for group charter" A boat charter, tropical fishing & snorkeling for one group only. Recommended for those who want to make their stay in Okinawa a special time or for those who want to spend a private space just for themselves. Unlike general shared boat tours, you don't have to worry about other people. We will guide you through the ultimate Okinawa vacation that can only be experienced on a private course. "The boat is a new boat that was launched in January 2024, the best size for one group charter" The boat used for the course is a new boat delivered in January 2024, "YAMAHA YFR-27HMEX". It comes with a toilet, shower, air conditioning, cabin, and sunshade awning, so women and children can feel safe. The capacity is 10 people, and up to 8 customers can board excluding the two captain staff. It is just the right size for one group charter. The engine is YAMAHA's latest model "V-type 6-cylinder model F250N". The fuel is gasoline instead of diesel, so the clean exhaust gas does not cause any smell or noise. The port is a 5-minute walk from Chatan Town American Village. The port is in the very popular Chatan Town, where there are many resort hotels, shopping centers, and restaurants. Chatan Fisherina is the closest to the tourist spot American Village, so it has excellent access and atmosphere. Choose from morning or afternoon, and there are two 150-minute courses per day. This is recommended for those who want to make the most of their time after arriving in Okinawa, in the morning on their last day, or for those who have a lot of plans during their stay. Even with the 150-minute course, you can spend 90 minutes leisurely after arriving at the point.
This plan includes everything you need for snorkeling at no extra cost. During November to May, when it may be too chilly to wear a swimsuit, wetsuits will be provided free of charge. The staff will also provide you with free digital copies of photos taken with an underwater camera. Two sets of fishing rods with bait will be provided. *A fee will be charged if you use the parking lot at Chatan Fisherina (free for the first 2 hours, 100 yen/60 minutes for 2 hours or more, up to 400 yen for 24 hours) and the hot water shower at Uminchu Warp (200 yen/5 minutes).
The course organizer is a CMAS instructor (diving), ISA instructor (surfing), SUPA instructor (SUP), Chatan Fisheries Cooperative Association member (diver fisherman), and Okinawa marine sports instructor with over 22 years of experience (as of 2024), and is a specialist in the ocean, so he has devised a course that will allow guests to enjoy the Okinawan ocean even more. The staff are also certified by the Okinawa Prefectural Public Safety Commission, so you can enjoy the course with peace of mind.
The point where the course will be held is located approximately 15 minutes from "Chatan Fisherina", and we will choose the best point on the day from Chatan, Ginowan, and Kadena, which are famous in the Okinawa west coast area. The sea is rich in nature, with schools of soft and hard corals, spawning in the spring, and many tropical fish.
