"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 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 take advantage of the two half-day trips per day. This is recommended for those who want to make the most of their time after arriving in Okinawa, or in the morning on their last day, or for those who have a lot of plans during their stay. Even with the half-day course, you can spend about 2 hours relaxing after arriving at the point.

The course organizers are CMAS instructors (diving), ISA instructors (surfing), SUPA instructors (SUP), Chatan Fisheries Cooperative members (diving fishermen), Okinawa marine sports instructors with over 22 years of experience (as of 2024), and marine specialists. Therefore, we have devised a course that will allow our guests to enjoy the Okinawan sea even more. Our staff are also certified by the Okinawa Prefectural Public Safety Commission, so you can enjoy the course with peace of mind.

Kuefu Island, Kamiyama Island) and three atolls. Its official name is Keiseshima, but it is often called by another name, Chibishi, which comes from the Okinawan dialect. The Kerama Islands and the surrounding sea were designated as a national park on March 5, 2014 (Coral Day). The sea boasts some of the clearest water in the world and is known as ``Kerama Blue,'' and is visited by many tourists and divers from both Japan and abroad. It is home to a variety of corals, and humpback whales come here in winter to raise their young and breed.
