Why the price gap is mostly the drinks
The cheapest dinner, the 90-minute sukiyaki boats from Etchujima, includes unlimited soft drinks but not alcohol. Amitatsu and H.I.S. cost more because beer, sake, shochu, wine and whisky are all-you-can-drink, the meals are longer courses rather than one hot pot, and the cruises last two and a half to three hours. If you drink, the gap closes fast: two or three drinks bought on board a short cruise would cover much of the difference. If you do not, the 90-minute boat is the better value.
What is not in the fare
The extras are few. On Orange Tour’s boats, the Tokyo Tower deck ticket is an option you choose when booking, and the trip from the pier to the tower is up to you. Hotel pickup is not included on any of the yakatabune here, except as a paid option on the H.I.S. cruise. Amitatsu charges 1,000 yen a guest for dietary requests or meal changes, which must be sent at least two days before. There is no service charge to add and no tip to leave.
Cancellation is part of the price
Free cancellation is not the same on every boat. Orange Tour and Tokyo Water Taxi refund up to 24 hours before; Amitatsu up to 10 days, and H.I.S. up to 11 days. If your evening in Tokyo might move, the flexible 90-minute boats carry less risk.
