Konpira Yacht Services is the largest boat agent in Japan, supporting 40–50 vessels per year and providing comprehensive assistance to meet the needs of superyacht owners, guests, captains, and crew. The company’s founder and president, Kirk Patterson, spent six years cruising Japan on his own boat and helps clients get off the beaten track to experience the real Japan. The company tailors its services to the interests and needs of each client, and opens Japan’s oceans to visitors from around the world.

The founder Kirk Patterson is a Canadian who has lived in Japan for over 30 years and can speak and read Japanese fluently. In 2012–2013, he sailed solo from Canada to Japan, completing the first full Japan circumnavigation by a foreigner. Konpira Yacht Services continues to build on that deep local knowledge to deliver unmatched support for international yachts visiting Japan.
