Penghu | Night Squid Fishing Experience & Seafood Feast | Hsinlaifa Leisure | Private Boat Charter
Neritic squid are seasonal migratory creatures that return to the waters around Penghu every summer, with peak season running from June through September. These squid are attracted to light, so the boat is fitted with dozens of fish-attracting lamps to draw them close. Visitors then use lure rigs to catch the squid, while the captain demonstrates the traditional net-fishing method so guests can experience how local fishermen harvest their catch. The trip wraps up with a three-course squid meal featuring squid noodle soup, squid sashimi, and dried squid or dried small fish.
- Night squid fishing is one of Penghu's most popular evening activities, with the captain demonstrating traditional net-fishing techniques as a bonus
- Depart from Qitou, where the waters yield a larger squid catch
- Savor a delicious three-course squid meal — the perfect way to end your trip

– About This Experience –
Night squid fishing is one of Penghu's most important seasonal fishing activities, taking place every summer through mid-autumn. Major fishing grounds include the East Sea, Huijing waters, and the sea south of Qimei. In particular, many fishermen from Waian Village in Xiyu Township have built their livelihoods around squid fishing. In recent years, numerous speedboats and leisure fishing vessels have been converted to offer night squid fishing trips, transforming this traditional Penghu fishing practice into an exciting ocean experience. It's a must-do evening activity when visiting Penghu! Beyond the thrill of catching squid yourself, the crew will also demonstrate the traditional squid-fishing process. The trip concludes with a squid feast so you can enjoy the freshest squid dishes.
