the Road to Fu Kyo at the Meinohama Fishing Port.
Driving on Marina Dori,
If you come from the East,
turn RIGHT at
Nishi Fukuoka Marina Ohashi Higashi.
If you come from the west,
Turn LEFT at
Nishi Fukuoka Marina Ohashi Higashi.
This is the road you'll turn into.
Continue that road until you'll reach this point,
then make a LEFT turn and soon a
RIGHT turn.
Continue until you see FU KYO.
You can park your car right in front.
As this parking area belongs to the Meinohama Fishing Coop,
we ask for a 500 yen parking fee.

Welcome on Board
Welcome on Board of Fu Kyo
FU KYO is a sailing catamaran.
That means she has 2 hulls and the result is a more comfortable ride. When using the sails, Fu Kyo will hardly heal-over, like a regular sailboat does. As there is usually very little wave action in Hakata Bay
But: if you are susceptible to motion-sickness, please take some seasick medication, ready available over the counter at the pharmacy. Staying outside and/or on deck also helps to prevent. On cool days make sure to wear enough & warm clothing. Don’t go inside and below decks if not needed.

What to wear?
Of course we all wear a life-jacket as soon as we leave port and as we move around on deck. There are life-jackets for kids and adults. Please wear soft sole shoes, non-skid-non-slip type. High heels shoes are a No-No! Fu Kyo has some deck shoes for you in case of. As said, wear enough and warm clothes, it’s always a few degrees cooler on the water. Fu Kyo has an All Covered cockpit, so you don’t have to get wet, but it’s better to bring a rain jacket anyway (umbrellas don’t work on a sailboat).
Drinks and food.
Fu Kyo will serve mineral water, tea, juice and 1 (2?) complimentary drinks like beer, wine or soft drink. Additional drinks can be purchased. We do serve some light snacks.
Bookings.
It’s best to book in advance. In the event we have to cancel the cruise due to weather conditions, we will re-schedule your cruise.
Hands-on-Deck.
It’s up to you if you like to help and sail Fu Kyo. How about taking the wheel and steer the boat? But of course you can just sit back and relax.
Toilet.
Fu Kyo has 2 clean bathrooms on board.
Smoking.
No-Smoking inside cabin and cockpit.
Insurance.
Fu Kyo has a basic insurance for all passengers.
Don’t forget:
Your camera, sunglasses, sunscreen.
And to arrive On Time as the Sun doesn’t wait.

Lagoon 421 pictures
Fu Kyo is a sailing catamaran, known as Lagoon 421,
see here some pictures.
All pictures by the Lagoon Company, France
Where to Go?
This map shows a course for a Sunset Sail.
We’ll leave 1 hour before the sunset and will reach the outside of Hakata Bay where we can see this magic moment of the day.
On the way back, time for snap-shots
with Fukuoka Dome, Fukuoka Tower
Beside the Sunset and Day-Sail trips,
Fu Kyo can also make longer trips to the off-shore islands.
Iki Shima, (30 miles, it takes 4 to 5 hours, one way)
The islands near Karatsu & Yobuko (30 miles),
and Ohshima (30 miles).
Tsushima (60 miles, which will take 10 hours, with a possible pit-stop for the night @ Iki Island
These trips are of course possible depending on the weather and sea conditions and are most fun when done with an overnight stay
on board of Fu Kyo.
