CAPTAIN

Captain Profile

Captain

Kazuya Mashiko

Born March 11, 1988 / 38 years old as of June 2026

A captain living on Naru Island. While working as a programmer, he also operates Guesthouse Boooaat, a stay with rental boats.

After moving to Naru Island in 2018, he has lived with the sea as part of daily life. Since purchasing a boat in 2019, he has fished around Naru Island and built practical handling experience while reading tides, wind, and waves.

He holds a first-class small vessel operator license and a second-class maritime special radio operator license, and places importance on safety checks and sea-condition judgment. Daily operation is based not only on forecast data, but also on careful observation of the port, routes, and local conditions.

In June 2026, he began night emergency transport as part of an effort to support local marine transport. He values calm, careful operation so both visitors and residents can move across the sea with confidence.

  • Moved to Naru Island in April 2018.
  • Purchased a boat in 2019 and gained handling experience and sea-condition judgment while fishing around Naru Island.
  • Started emergency transport as a water taxi on June 15, 2026.
