Ocean Fishing is exclusive to fishers which allow them to set sail together on the Endeavor in search of adventure on the high seas. It requires a part of 1 to 24 players and has the time limit of 60 minutes. It was introduced in patch 5.2 of Shadowbringers expansion.

Requirements

Quest: All the Fish in the Sea
Level 1 Fisher
NPC Fhilsnoe in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:7.8 Y:14.5)
Pre-requisite quest: My First Fishing Rod

Participating in Ocean Fishing

Every two hours (Earth time), players have a fifteen-minute window to register by speaking with Dryskthota on the Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X:3.0 Y:12.7). If you wish to enter as a party, the party leader must be the one to speak with the NPC.

Players will be matched together to form a full party when participating solo or with a party of fewer than eight members.
The ship will depart even if there are fewer than 24 crew members.

When ocean fishing is available, the NPC will be marked with an "!" icon on the map.

Availability and Routes

Depending on the time slot, the route taken and time of arrival at the destination may vary. For more information, speak with Dryskthota on the Limsa Lominsa lower decks (X:3.0 Y:12.7) and select "View Sailing Schedule." You can also set an alarm for the time of departure via subcommands.

Fishing on the Endeavor

The Endeavor sails to fishing locations such as Costa del Sol and Horizon, allowing you to see the sights of Eorzea as never before. Players will have seven minutes to reel in fish at each location, with various rewards on offer.
