Private Okinawa Fishing Charter: Tuna & Mahi-Mahi Fishing in Tropical Waters
Overview
Looking for a serious offshore fishing adventure in Okinawa? This premium private fishing charter departs from the Onna Village and Chatan areas and is designed for international travelers who want to experience big-game fishing without sharing a boat with other guests.
The charter lasts approximately 5–7 hours and is reserved exclusively for your group, giving you the freedom and privacy to focus entirely on the fishing. An experienced English-speaking professional guide and captain will be on board to assist with everything from using the fishing tackle to choosing the best fishing spots.
Whether you’re an experienced angler or trying big-game fishing for the first time, you’ll receive hands-on support throughout the trip.
Thanks to the nutrient-rich waters influenced by the Kuroshio Current, the seas around Okinawa are home to powerful pelagic fish such as yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi (dorado). Battling these fast and hard-fighting fish in the open ocean can become one of the most memorable adventures of your Okinawa trip.
Fish You Can Catch Around Okinawa
The waters around Okinawa offer a variety of offshore fishing targets. Yellowfin tuna and mahi-mahi (dorado) are among the main big-game species, while other potential catches include skipjack tuna, amberjack, and Spanish mackerel.
⚠️ Please Note: The fish listed above are only examples of potential catches. Fishing conditions can vary significantly depending on the Kuroshio Current, water temperature, weather, and other ocean conditions. The species available also change considerably depending on the season.
