50ft. Luxury Yacht

Surrounded by the sound of the sea, let this beautiful 50ft. Navigator be the backdrop for your beautiful burial at sea service. This smooth cruising vessel is the perfect place to celebrate a life well lived and to say your goodbyes. Offering all the comforts of home in a calming and luxurious California coastal decor. Guests love to utilize the kitchen and bar where guests can set up a memorial display and or place snacks and drinks. 

There are multiple seating areas inside, with 360 degree views of the water from everywhere you look. In addition, there is also outside seating on the flybridge or bow for those looking for some fresh air. Allowing families ultimate comfort based on their preferences.

As guests approach the scattering point they make their way to the back of the boat. They say their guiding words and the deckhand assists the family with the lowering of the ashes. Upon the return guests enjoy a tranquil and comfortable journey back to the dock.

The service allows for the scattering of one set of human remains. For an additional scattering there is an administration fee of $155.

To be able to perform the service we will require an LA County Disposition of Human Remains Permit.  You can get this from the crematory or from the LA Vital Records Office.

Client Reviews

Excellent4.9 Based on 232 reviews from ★★★★★ I used their service for spreading the remains of my aunt at sea. They were kind, courteous and very helpful with something I had never done before. They made it very easy for me and I would gladly recommend them to anyone in need of the same type of service but if you need them for anything else such as a bachelorette party, social party, romantic dinner at sea etc they would be great because they were very kind people and they want you to have a good experience.Bangaz N.Bangaz N. ★★★★★ I would highly recommend for memorial services. The boat was beautiful and very clean. The crew was so kind and professional and made this such a great experience. I am glad I went with them for my Aunt’s service.Stephanie D.Stephanie D. ★★★★★ The crew was welcoming, supportive and explained what to expect and when. They provided a cooler filled with water and ginger ale, as well as a table for our us to place our coffee and cake. The boat was very clean and comfortable, with plenty of comfortable covered seating inside and outside. We had enough time to say our goodbyes and share our memories. The remains were placed in a container with rose petals that I lowered into the water. The captain tossed our wreath into the water and we scattered our rose petals. We never felt rushed, there was time to share our grief. The crew were kind and respectful the entire time. It was a truly beautiful way for our family and friends to honor our loved one.Elaine M.Elaine M. ★★★★★ Working with the people at the Los Angeles Yacht Charter, made setting up the scattering of the ashes very easy, including securing the permit. The boat we went on out of San Pedro was great. They explained everything and were engaging. Communication was very good and responsive. Would recommend themBarry C.Barry C. ★★★★★ The charter went well, our family did 2 scatterings out of Marina Del Ray which was hard on us but the boat crew and captain Troy made us feel welcomed and treated everyone with dignity and respect. We would highly recommend Los Angeles Yacht Charter for your services.Chris C.Chris C.js_loader
