Fish cozy islands. Fill your journal.

A shared fishing world in your browser. Sail between little islands, find around 40 fish and fish the harbor with whoever happens to be around. Free, no download.

One cast, start to finish.

  1. Find a shore

    Any spot where land meets water works: a pier, a beach, a mountain lake.

  2. Cast and wait

    The bite comes at a hidden moment a few seconds in. Watch your float.

  3. Hook on the “!”

    You have 1.6 seconds to tap. Quick hands earn bonus shells.

  4. See what lands

    A fish for your journal, with its own weight. Now and then, a new species.

Every bite needs a real person, so an idle tab earns a single shell per escape and nothing more.

The Cozy Archipelago

Eight islands on one big, flat sea, with no bridges between them. Start in a rowboat, then trade up to a sailboat and a steamer to reach the far islands. Around 40 fish, each with a home of its own.

Mountains

Frostveil Peaks

The tallest island. Switchbacks climb past a string of small alpine lakes, each at its own height with its own resident fish, up to a glacier lake and a steaming hot spring.

Pip’s mountain hut keeps warm knits and cave lanterns.

Starter coast

Daydream Harbor

Where everyone arrives: the aquarium, a lighthouse and the first dock.

Mara’s General Store is a real walk-in shop for requests and rod upgrades.

Forest

Tanglewild

A river, a waterfall pool and mossy ponds by the old mill.

Old Bramble carves rods.

Desert

Sunleaf Dunes

Oasis lakes and a dry canyon river around old ruins.

Zahra’s caravan sells oasis charts.

City

Port Lumen

Canals under lamplit bridges, a fountain plaza and a busy harbor.

The shipwright builds your next boat; the fishmonger buys your spares.

Small islets

Crescent, Moonshoal, Emberfall

A coral lagoon with a shipwreck, a sandbar that glows at night, and warm vents on black sand.

A coral trader on Crescent swaps pearls and shells.

Hidden grottos

Look for the caves.

Five islands hide a grotto behind a waterfall, a mountain crevice or old cistern stairs. Bring a lantern: the underground lakes glow and the cave fish live nowhere else.

The Tide Trader

A merchant ship sails from harbor to harbor on its own schedule, carrying lures, lantern oil and a few rare items that change at every stop. If it is moored at your island, go aboard.

A world that keeps moving

Drizzle, fog, snow on the peaks and heat shimmer in the dunes roll across the sea for everyone at once. Animals wander, lamps glow at dusk, and some fish only bite in the right weather or after dark.

Rods, boats, and the road ahead.

Rods: new fish on the line

Sixteen tiers. Better rods reach fish the starter rod never meets, like the Crescent lionfish and the starlight ray. Each upgrade takes lifetime fish and shells, and a tier you own is never charged again. Tiers 1 to 3 are open today.

Boats: how far you can sail

The rowboat reaches the near islands. A sailboat opens Port Lumen, the dunes and Emberfall, and a steamer carries you all the way to Frostveil Peaks.

What exactly is Cozy Fishing?

A shared 3D fishing world in your browser. You start on Daydream Harbor with other players around you, sail to biome islands, fill your journal with around 40 fish species, and earn shells for better rods, boats and looks.

Do I need an account or a wallet?

No. Cozy Fishing needs no wallet and no purchase. Start as a guest, then make a free explorer account with a username and password to keep your catches across devices.

How do I reach the other islands?

By boat. Every island has at least one harbor, and there is no land bridge between them. You start with a rowboat for the nearby waters; sturdier boats from the Port Lumen shipwright, a sailboat and then a steamer, reach the far islands. You can also take a guided voyage. Mountain lakes, the oasis, the city canals and the grottos are fished from the shore once you land.

How do rod upgrades work?

Rods (16 tiers) bring new fish within reach: tier 2 adds the Crescent lionfish, tier 3 the starlight ray and the little lanternfish. Each upgrade costs lifetime fish and shells, bought at Mara’s General Store on Daydream Harbor. Rods go up to tier 3 for now.

Can I leave it fishing while I’m away?

Not really, by design. Auto-cast re-casts for you while the tab is open, but every bite needs your own tap within 1.6 seconds, so an unattended line earns one consolation shell per escape.

Is everyone in the same world?

Yes. One community and one economy: the same leaderboards, shells and tournaments, one account wherever you sign in. Up to 1,200 explorers can be out at once, so the sea runs as four parallel waters and you join whichever has room. Only who you see around you is local to your water.

Can I pay to win?

No. Fancier boats sail faster, so you get places sooner, and their cards say so. Hats, jackets and rod finishes are style only. Fish odds are never for sale.

Can I play on my phone?

Yes. Use the thumbstick to walk, drag to look around, pinch to zoom, and tap the big button the moment the “!” appears. Any modern browser with WebGL works.

Your spot on the dock is free.
