They provided excellent service for our ash scattering funeral event. The crew was polite and professional. Its a little pricey but most funeral type services typically are. I would highly recommend this yacht service for your funeral celebration needs.

My family used LA Yacht Charter for a burial at sea service and I cannot speak more highly of them. The booking process was smooth, communication and customer service was excellent and we had such a wonderful and memorable service for our loved ones. The captain and crew were absolutely lovely - helpful and considerate. I would definitely book with LA Yacht Charter in the future and recommend them for any private boating experience.

Dan was really nice and responsive throughout the whole process. We opted for the 1 hour service and it was a good amount of time for our family. The yacht was really beautiful and we were surprised that flowers were provided for us. Thank you.

The captain and his crew operated the yacht and performed the service very professionally. Twenty members of my family ranging in age from 3 to 83 felt safe and at ease during the whole one hour voyage. We highly recommend LA Yacht Charter.

Great service from the captain_ Michael.C and his assistant Daniel. The yacht was very clean and the help given was 10/10. I was celebrating a milestone birthday and chose Los Angeles Yatch Charter which offered an amazing experience for us. Some of my friends got sea sick, Daniel helped them out with emesis bags.

Last week we had a burial at Sea. LA Charter at Marina del Rey staff were excellent. Dan and the Captain were friendly and very attentive with the family. Loved how they used a basket for the ashes and rose pedals and allowed us to participate in lowering the basket. Each member of the family also participated in scattering roses! It was beautifully organized and made us feel comfortable. I highly recommend this service with LA Charter!

Captain Mike and Crew Nicolas were the best on my Mom's Memorial at Sea. They knew how to be right off my mom's grandparents' house, where we lowered the basket. We were so pleased and happy, in a sad but celebratory way. And securing the boat, as well as advice on getting the burial license, were great and timely.

An absolutely flawless five-star experience! From the moment we stepped aboard, The yacht was impeccably maintained, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. The captain expertly navigated us to stunning, secluded spots, while my chef prepared gourmet meals for us. If you are considering a charter, look no further—this team delivers the trip of a lifetime !

We used Los Angeles Yacht Charter to scatter our mom's ashes off the coast. The boat was perfect, and the crew (Mike & Dan) were so thoughtful and helpful. The person who coordinated everything gave us all the information as far as what to expect so that there were no surprises. Highly recommend!
