Even though I didn't catch any squid on my first squid fishing trip, it was a really fun time, and everyone got excited when someone else caught one! Captain Alan was cheerful and had a great personality. He loves Japan and explained things clearly and enjoyably, even using a bit of Japanese. It's no wonder so many Japanese people use his service. He was always attentive and even took photos for us, which was very much appreciated. The boat was clean and comfortable. There's a complimentary service of water, juice, and mini-snacks, but it might be a good idea to bring your own light meal, as you might not be able to eat the squid you catch. Smoking is allowed on the rooftop. Although there was hardly any rocking, it was a bit scary when a few large waves hit us while we were anchored, but it wasn't enough to make me seasick. Even if you don't catch any squid, you can still enjoy the harbor night view and have a pleasant time, so I highly recommend it. I'll definitely join again next year!
