Anywhere that holds meaning for your family. Many families choose a loved one's favorite fishing spot, a location along the bay where they kept their boat, or the inlet timed with an outgoing tide so the ashes are carried out to sea. We've also accommodated requests to go offshore for more privacy or to recreate a special place. Some families prefer the bay—like "Uncle Frank" who was a bay fisherman for 40 years—and that's equally meaningful. We'll work with you to find the right location

Absolutely. Every burial at sea is unique and reflects the personality and wishes of the person being honored. We've facilitated everything from traditional flower scatterings to Viking-style longboat ceremonies. You can include music, readings, prayers, or simply a quiet moment of reflection. We can time the service with specific tides, coordinate multiple boats for larger groups, or keep it intimate with just immediate family. This is your ceremony, and we're here to support your vision.

Our larger boats can accommodate up to six people comfortably for a burial at sea ceremony. Since participants aren't moving around with fishing gear, we can fit more guests than on a typical fishing charter. For larger groups, we regularly coordinate with partner captains to provide multiple boats—we've facilitated services with 10 or more vessels, creating a meaningful flotilla for the ceremony. Everyone can be present while maintaining comfort and safety.

We understand that burial at sea services often come with additional commitments—restaurant reservations, family traveling from out of town, catered gatherings afterward. Unlike fishing trips, there's often more pressure for the service to happen on a specific day. While we're always subject to weather and sea conditions (and nobody wants Grandma getting soaked in a downpour), we're experienced at working with families to massage timing and make it work. We'll monitor forecasts closely and communicate with you about options, whether that means adjusting departure times or, if absolutely necessary, rescheduling.

Yes, flowers are welcomed and commonly scattered alongside ashes. We've also accommodated unique ceremonial items like handcrafted wooden boats, special urns, and memorial wreaths. If you're considering something unusual or creative, just discuss it with us beforehand—we're experienced at making meaningful tributes happen while respecting maritime regulations and environmental considerations.
