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 2026, we will be organizing three rallies:

• Japan Yacht Rally: Mid-March to the end of May, from Okinawa to Hokkaido, to support boats heading to Alaska.
• Setouchi Yacht Rally: May, to explore the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. An annual event with both foreign and Japanese boats.
• Around Japan Rally: May to October, to do a full circumnavigation of Japan’s four main islands.

All rallies are non-profit events, with a large portion of the costs being covered by generous sponsors. Japan Yacht Rally participants have the option to split off and join the Setouchi International Yacht Rally and then, if they want, rejoin the Japan Yacht Rally.

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.
