Los Angeles Yacht Charter was very helpful and patient in helping schedule a service fit my mom. The flower petals provided allow you to watch the ash spreading location as the boat circles and then departs. They really take care not to make a hard day even harder. We will be booking again to visit her ashes in the future as the coordinates are recorded for you to keep

I booked Los Angeles Yacht Charter for a burial at sea for my mom. In the beginning, the communication was poor and I thought this was not a reputable company. To my surprise, Los Angeles Yacht Charter exceeded my expectations. My host, Carlos, the captain and crew were amazing. The day was beautiful and I’m sure my mom would be so proud of her final send off. I would definitely book with this company again. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Truly appreciate the eases in booking and the correspondences. We did the 50ft for my Mom and had Captain Mike and Crew Dan and they were both professional and comforting. Dan prepared the ashes in the basket with rose petals and coached me through when and how to tip by pulling the cord while Captain Mike stood on the second level and took a beautiful video of the ashes as they floated away and began the journey to travel the world. Thank you so much for making everything so seamless and beautiful. I would HIGHLY recommend booking here!-Tal

LA Yacht Charter helped us with a ceremony to bury our mom's ashes in the ocean near Santa Monica. The crew and captain were helpful and we opted for the doves release and the harp which were both excellent.

I am so glad I found this small family business to perform my future mother in law’s burial at sea service. From day one, their communication was wonderful! They responded to all questions and inquiries within 24 hours (usually within an hour or so really)!Once we were ready to book, the process was extremely smooth and straightforward and information found on the website was accurate.Customer service was great including being understanding when my family and I were running a few minutes behind due to there being an accident on the fwy. I texted to let them know of our arrival and they said they would inform the captain (which they did).The service and day was beautiful and peaceful. Everyone really loved the send off.Thank you to this family for doing such a great job. I definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a burial at sea for a loved one! It was a fantastic choice.

Beautiful Yacht, one if the most fair and affordable pricing around, the crew was attentive and informative, the owner easy to talk to, QUICK in responding to text, it felt almost TOO easy lol but it really was! Everything discussed through text, was sent paperwork to my email and just like that we had the most magical birthday for my grandmas 80th! Bluetooth though out the cabin, kitchen where we prepped the food we brought, outside mini bar, everything! My only complaint was time flew by too fast! Lol Trying to convince my best friend to have her b day party there so I can go again 😆

We reached out to Los Angeles Yacht Charter after my father passed away. From the day we contacted them, the staff and crew members did an amazing job. We put our faith in them completely and were not disappointed. The communication effort was outstanding. And the crew couldn't have been more kind, compassionate, and professional the day of the ceremony. The harp player and dove release made the entire experience a beautiful and memorable one. You will not be disappointed.

We recently used a yacht service at Marina del Rey for a burial at sea ceremony for my dad, and the experience was truly exceptional. From start to finish, the team was professional, compassionate, and attentive to every detail, making a difficult day much more bearable for our family. The yacht itself was pristine and comfortable, providing a peaceful and serene setting for the ceremony.The captain and crew were respectful and understanding, allowing us the time and space to honor my dad’s memory in a meaningful way. They guided us through the process with care, ensuring that everything went smoothly, from the scattering of the ashes to the heartfelt moments we shared as a family. The backdrop of the ocean, with the gentle waves and stunning views, was the perfect way to say goodbye.We were grateful for the thoughtfulness of the service and highly recommend it to anyone seeking a dignified and beautiful farewell at sea.

We wanted to honor our Aunt after she passed away. She was a CA girl at heart so it was fitting to bring her home and have a burial at sea. Capt Troy and Dan were very patient, gracious and kind. We were so surprised that they brought roses for us to include in our celebration of life. It was a beautiful day. I highly recommend LA Yacht Charter services.
