NEWS sells its large catamaran on comfort, saying the hull is built for stability and resists rolling, which helps anyone prone to seasickness on a winter crossing. Boats leave Miegusuku Port in Naha at 9:00 and 13:30 and are usually back about three hours later. The snorkel trip reaches the Kerama waters in about 30 minutes and stays on the boat, which suits a visitor who wants the Kerama colour without a ferry and an overnight on the islands.
The 2026–27 dates and prices were not posted when we checked, so treat last season's figures as a guide. Trips need at least six passengers to sail.
