I know there is a ferry from Naha, Okinawa to Kagoshima, Kyushu.

I know it takes on the order of a whole day or longer and that its price is approximately equivalent to $150. I am also aware that there might be flights to the main islands of Japan for less.

In my searching I found a mention that the ferry stops at Motobu in the north of Okinawa on the way. Naha is in the south. But I can't seem to find any information on whether it's possible to for a passenger to board the ferry in Motobu and, if so, whether the price might be a little cheaper.

(I am also interested in other ways of getting from Okinawa to the main islands of Japan by sea too but have not come across anything else.)

A-Line goes from Motobu (本部) to Kagoshima (鹿児島) around twice weekly, but the price difference is marginal:

And by remarkable coincidence, the prices on competitor Marix are precisely the same.

The problem is that I can only provide the site that lists the Ferries running to/from various locations in Okinawa. It lists 2 lines that make a stop at Motobu, Marix line and A Line both of which provide daily service from Motobu. Both sites are in Japanese and I currently have problem with online translation.
