🎣 Squid Fishing Experience
After the sun has completely set, the boat's fishing lights are turned on, and full-scale squid fishing begins. Dedicated fishing rods and floats are provided, making it easy for anyone to try. The crew will cook the squid you catch on the spot, serving dishes such as boiled squid or squid ramen.
This experience is a nature-based activity centered on 100% wild squid. Please note that catch quantities vary significantly depending on weather, water temperature, ocean currents, and lunar brightness (lunar tides), and a specific number of squid cannot be guaranteed. In particular, please be advised that catches may be lower during the full moon period as the effectiveness of the fishing lights decreases. Even if you do not catch many squid, the beautiful sunset, lavish dinner, and unique night sea cruise alone will make for a sufficiently satisfying time.
