Fish for giant marlin off Yonaguni, Japan's westernmost island. Fish over 300 kg have been landed here — a catch you will remember for life.

Marlin here is more forgiving than targeting amberjack or grouper: the captain works the fight with you, so a first-timer has a genuine shot at a 150 kg-class fish.

Charters on Yonaguni are hard to come by. These are slots we hold and release to our own customers.

Our staff handle the rigging and support you on the water. Bring your rod and reel — we take care of the rest.

Priority booking goes to STANDING SOUL rod owners, including customers outside Japan.
