Several operators along the Hiroshima–Kure coastline offer chartered boat or ferry experiences during August fireworks season, positioning guests on the Seto Inland Sea for panoramic views of displays at Ōtake, Kure, and nearby islands simultaneously. The glistening reflections on the sheltered inland sea, framed by silhouetted islands and distant mountains, make this a uniquely cinematic way to experience hanabi. Catered packages typically include bento meals, soft drinks, and English-speaking guides. Advance booking is essential due to limited capacity.
