What Our Clients Say
We chartered a yacht to Catalina through Los Angeles Yacht Charter for a burial at sea for my mother.
Whether you are looking for a burial at sea or something more fun, I can’t recommend this group highly enough.
Yesterday I had my father’s memorial service on one of their yachts.
They made the whole process very easy and stress-free. The crew were nice and respectful to all of my guests. I would use them again.
