So, you’ve ridden in a speed boat, cruised in a yacht and paddled a kayak… it’s now time to take to the seas in a tub-boat. You heard right, a tub-boat!

Traditionally used for catching abalone, seaweed and turban shells 🐚 due to their maneuverability in narrow and meandering coves, these compact but hardy boats – known in their home town of Ogi on Sado Island in Niigata as tarai-bune – will have you bobbing along turquoise waters and taking in the picturesque coastline in no time. Ahhh, bliss!☺️
