The fifth-generation (5G) mobile communication system has attracted much attention to provide various kinds of services and applications for 2020 and later. To verify the feasibility of high presence public viewing service, the world's first maritime 5G experiment is conducted in Windsurfing World Cup 2018. In the experiment, 5G is used for 4K video transmission from a ship to public viewing area at land. This paper briefly reports that downlink and uplink maritime transmission performance of 5G employing 28 GHz band Massive MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) and the success of the public viewing trial.
