Sea Fishing Near Kansai International Airport: Private Charter from Izumisano
Fish the productive waters off Izumisano with a private charter that nests alongside Kansai International Airport’s runways. Beginners get hands-on instruction, the crew picks seasonal hotspots, and chefs at Senshu Fishing Port cook your catch into a freshly made lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Take motion-sickness precautions
If you are prone to seasickness, take medication an hour before departure and choose a seat mid-boat where motion is gentlest.
Wear non-slip shoes
Decks can be wet and slippery—closed-toe, non-slip footwear protects your feet and improves stability while fighting fish.
Sun protection matters
Bring a wide-brim hat, sunglasses and SPF 30+ sunscreen; reflected light off the water increases UV exposure even on overcast days.
Keep your catch handling simple
Bring a small towel and a sealable bag for packed fillets—crew will guide handling, but preparing fish for the restaurant speeds the transition to your lunch.
