Offering a private offshore fishing charter and the captain will serve you a sushi lunch at our private lodge after fishing. Fully guided in English, with all fishing gear and tackle prepared. Additionally, you can stay at our lodge the day before fishing.

Fishing Charter – 23 ft. fishing boat private charter available up to 3 passengers.

Sushi Lunch – Bring back your fish to our lodge, and the captain will cook them into various Japanese fish dishes.

Lodging – Fishing starts early in the morning, so it’s recommended to visit a day before and stay overnight in our lodge.

Pick-up/Drop-off: If you are staying at the hotel in Kobe or Awaji, we can arrange for pick-up and drop-off services.

Captain Daiki Tonda, fluent in both Japanese and English, has lived in Australia and Canada for several years. In his twenties, he traveled worldwide as a professional musician. Later, he established a successful English tutoring business, which now accommodates 1000 students, and has been thriving for over a decade.

In 2020, after obtaining a boat license, he found himself drawn to boat and kayak fishing around Awaji Island whenever weather conditions permitted. Then, in 2023, after acquiring his own 23 ft. fishing boat, he commenced guiding guests on fishing excursions.

On his boat, you can fish for a variety of species available each season and enjoy seasonal fish dishes.
