About the Motobu – Naha (Okinawa) crossing
The Saturday return, Motobu to Naha: 10:10 from Toguchi (渡久地港), arriving at Naha Wharf at 11:15. Sixty-five minutes, once a week.
The short turnaround — the boat arrives at 09:35 and leaves again at 10:10 — means this is not really a day-trip service in this direction. It works for someone travelling south on a Saturday morning, or as the return half of a trip that started with the Friday Kumejima sailing.
After landing at Naha the same hydrofoil, Tsumugi, departs at 13:10 for Kumejima, which is the operator's main line. Kumejima Ocean Jet began sailing in 2026 and runs this single vessel across both routes.
Vehicles, pets & onboard
- Hydrofoil Tsumugi — foil-borne, damped against swell
- First and second class seating
- Online booking and QR tickets
- Ocean Jet Club membership discount
Onboard facilities and vehicle, pet and luggage policies vary by operator and vessel; confirm details with the operator before booking.
