In Miyakojima, charter pricing comes down to boat size and hours. Two "half-day charters" can differ hugely in total once you account for capacity and whether gear is included. Start by knowing the range.
The going range
A half-day on a small boat starts in the tens of thousands of yen; a full day on a larger boat carrying ten or more sits around ¥300,000. RECMARINE's catamaran charter is from ¥300,000 for up to 15 guests and up to 6 hours. Divided by head the per-person cost drops sharply, so the larger your group the better the value.
Five things to check on a quote
Check what is included before you look at the number. If you are holding quotes from other operators, lining up these five points makes the differences obvious.
RECMARINE Our catamaran charter price includes soft drinks. BBQ, alcohol, snorkelling, drone filming and other activities can be added as options.
How we handle cancellations
If we cancel because of sea conditions, there is no cancellation fee. The captain makes that call on the morning of your trip. Changes for personal reasons follow a schedule that depends on the date — please see the rates page.
