Ishigaki (Okinawa) - General Info
Konpira Consulting provides cruisers - from single-handers on small sailboats to fully-crewed superyachts - with comprehensive support to enjoy the wonders of Japan's oceans. That includes handling all clear-in/out paperwork, preparing passage plans, recommending moorage options, making marina reservations, arranging repairs and haul-outs, and providing emergency support.
In 2025, we will be organizing two rallies.
- The Japan Yacht Rally, from mid-March to late May, to support cruisers going from Okinawa to Hokkaido on their way to Alaska and beyond.
- The Setouchi Yacht Rally, in May, to help foreign and Japanese cruisers explore the beautiful Seto Inland Sea.
Konpira Consulting is also the exclusive Japan agent for Hydrovane wind vanes. In addition, we act as a yacht broker, support boat owners (e.g., surveys, insurance, offshore preparations, equipment/parts searches), and advise marinas.
