“It’s a fun relaxed way to go fishing with the family. My son especially loved having this experience in Okinawa Japan. He had to go back out for another session right after.

3.Okinawa: 1/2-Day Private Sea Fishing Charter, Naha w/Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 6 reviews · 2 hours - 210 minutes · from $116

Set out from Naha for a private two-hour sea fishing trip with hotel pickup, fishing gear, bait, protective clothing, and Japanese-speaking staff. The crew helps beginners and children fish for tropical species. Cook your catch on board or take it to Ichiroya near International Street for a fee.

“Alles hat reibungslos funktioniert. Wir haben sogar einen Fisch gefangen, den wir später von einem Koch zubereitet bekommen haben. Das ganze hat ungefähr 12€ extra gekostet. Für den Angeltrip solltest du aber unbedingt Seetauglich sein, da du auf dem „offenen Meer“ angelst. Viele sind Seekrank geworden. 😅 Ansonsten war wirklich alles super! 🤍”
