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.

My family and I had a very good experience with this charter. The boat was very clean, the crew was very nice. Setting up the scatter ashes service was also very easy. Carlos was also very helpful and a wonderful host. If you are looking for a company to help with this type of ceremony i’d definitely give these guys a ring!! Thanks so much for making it special.

I recently booked a Burial at Sea to honor my father on what would’ve been his 90th Birthday, and I couldn't be more grateful for the exceptional service provided by the yacht crew and company. From the moment we stepped on board, the crew was attentive, compassionate, and professional, making a difficult day much easier for our family. The captain skillfully navigated the waters, and the entire experience was conducted with the utmost respect and care. The yacht itself was beautiful, and the crew ensured every detail was perfect, from the ceremony setup to the smooth sailing. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for anyone seeking a meaningful and serene ocean memorial. Thank you for helping us give our father the send-off he deserved!

Our experience on Something Special was so beautiful! The whole experience from booking through the memorial service was straightforward and smooth. Captain George and Jim were fantastic and the yacht was gorgeous. It was the perfect space and setting for our group of 20 to honor our loved one. We chose the 2-hour option which was the perfect time for us to say our goodbyes and soak in the whole experience on the water. I highly recommend!

Our experience with Los Angeles Yacht Charter was wonderful. This was our second time with them. Our previous experience was the reason for our return. And now, with our Grandmother’s demise, the events were just as comforting. They have friendly staff and were more than accommodating for us at this time of solace.

We had a burial at sea for my daughter and the boat was clean and spacious for my guests and I. The captain was nice, caring, and patient. The other gentleman aboard was as well and had a bit of humor which mad the occasion more light and easy. I was very pleased with the service and recommended their services whatever the occasion.

We held a burial at sea last Friday for our father as one of his wishes was to be cremated and put in the ocean. Captain Troy and Dan were professional and very accommodating. We were able to connect our playlist to the sound system on the boat and quickly set up a charcuterie board and some beverages since our service was around lunchtime. We were given a dozen white roses to scatter with the ashes (we had also brought some with us). We appreciated Dan and Troy’s outstanding service and the hour went by so fast! Everyone in our party of 12 enjoyed the experience and felt it was the perfect tribute for a man who loved the water so much. We highly recommend the burial at sea experience with LA Yacht Charter.

Family and friends traveled from Ohio as we celebrated the life of our dear mother and loved one. One of my mother's final wishes was to be one with the ocean. The ceremony was beautiful- one for the ages and we will never forget the majesty of it all.The crew of the LA Yacht Charter was a large part of what made our family experience like no other. They placed the ashes in a basket beneath a pretty floral arrangement, and before long, gently lowered the basket into the sea completing my mother's desire. The Burial experience was simply remarkable; all made possible with the LA Yacht Charter crew.We thank you, over and over again!

Dan Harrison

We chartered through LA Yacht Charter for a boat to spread my dad's ashes. The entire process was smooth and worked well. The crew was sensitive to the purpose at hand. They even provided some flowers to spread and a basket to lower the ashes in. The captain circled the ashes three times as is the tradition for naval services. Would definitely use again.One note, they do schedule the yacht very tightly, so don't be surprised when you get to the dock and there's no boat there. It actually pulled up a minute of so after our scheduled time which did cause some stress (everything was done via text/online, so I started to worry), but it was all fine.

Los Angeles Yacht Charter was fantastic to work with for spreading our daughter’s ashes at sea. The office was so helpful in all aspects of the service and ceremony.

I would highly recommend this service for an of your charter needs. Thank you Captain Wes and crew, and thank you LA Yacht Charter Service!!

Our Family had such a spectacular time on the “LADY M” yacht . We took our Dad on it yesterday. He is a long time boat owner and now he’s 94 and this just was a blast for him with lots of memories on the water. We all enjoyed watching him smile. What a memorable Father’s Day! Thank you to the crew they were the BEST!!

Our burial at sea event was absolutely, amazing. The captain and assistant were friendly, personable, easy-going, and accommodating. To top it all off, the captain noticed a pod of dolphins and headed in their direction. When we caught up to them they swam under, in front, in back and along our vessel for quite some time. I highly recommend their business to anyone looking for this type of service.

"Oooohhhh we had a time last NIGHT!!!" If you're thinking about booking LA Yacht Charter, stop thinking. Just do it! The prices are reasonable and actually a STEAL of a deal when you factor in the customer service, professionalism of the staff and memories you can make with this experience. Booking was easy, our captain and assistant captain were very hospitable and down-to-Earth. The vessel was clean and cozy, and the ride was so much fun. I'd give 10 stars if I could. 10/10 Highly Recommend.

My friend found this company for me after my dad passed, because we wanted to do a burial at sea. Im honestly so so grateful that she did and that we chose to say goodbye to my dad this way. We had a funeral a few days before and we’ve never cremated and spread ashes before, so we came into this not knowing what to expect. Wes (the Captain) and Dan (crew) were so exceptionally kind. Dan gave me a quick walk through of how it usually goes, always made suggestions and allowed us to do whatever felt right. He added flowers to our dad’s ashes so we could see as he floated away. He gave us access to music. It almost felt like he was the party planner, and Im grateful because we would have been lost without him. Tbh, his kindness, care, and concern was without a doubt what allowed me to really focus on saying goodbye to my Dad and it really made the experience extra special! The boat was great in all aspects. If youre thinking about burying a loved one at sea, I 💯 recommend this company! Theyre kind and helpful from the moment you reach out! Although, Id dont ever want to have to do this again. If theres ever the need, I will think of this company.

I booked a yacht for my 40th birthday celebration and it was great. Booking was easy. Carlos was a great concierge on the day of the event. The boat has speakers for our DJ, we had kids and adults and everyone had a great time. We also chose a catering option and the food was great. Highly recommend if you're looking for a fun experience.
