FUNECO (pronounced "Funeco," location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Representative: Rintaro Matsunobu), a comprehensive ship website, began offering a boarding record posting service on its website on Thursday, May 7, 2026.
This platform allows users to record and share all "boarding experiences," including cruise reviews, ferry trips, pleasure boat rides, boarding during public viewings of Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and Japan Coast Guard vessels, and even records of operating pleasure boats.
Outline of FUNECO Boarding Record Posting Service
The boarding record service, released on Thursday, May 7, 2026, is a feature available after registering an account on the site. You can record and share your travelogues of ship trips you have boarded, complete with photos.

In addition to registering the boarding port and disembarkation port, you can also register "transit ports" for cruise trips. Furthermore, you can upload photos of the port before boarding, meals inside the ship, and scenery seen from the ship's windows or deck. The registered photos also support viewing in a slideshow format.
Posting records of visits to publicly open ships at anchor and pleasure boat operations are also OK.
On the posting screen, you can select the type of boarding and search for ship names.
Boarding records are not limited to passenger vessels such as cruise trips or ferry travels. They can also include records of "experience voyages," "naval vessel public relations," and "public viewings" conducted by various shipping operators and organizations, such as the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and Japan Coast Guard, as well as records of operating pleasure boats launched from marinas.
This service provides posting screens optimized for each boarding type and also maintains a status indicating whether "the boarder is also the operator." In the future, there are plans to enhance functions that can be used as a logbook for pleasure boat owners and small vessel captains to share with their仲間 (companions).
