Long Beach 90ft. (max. 125p.)

This vessel is perfect for large groups looking for a burial at sea service. Large families are able to come together and celebrate a life together. When guests can come aboard and have plenty of space to sit inside or outside as well as set up any memorials such as a display to their loved one. 

Once at the ash scattering location the family will gather at the front of the boat. With the assistance of their host, the family can lower the ashes and say their goodbyes. Guests can then return to shore or families can also have the wake on board with a self catering or catering package (must be booked in advance). The vessel also has a cash bar option to let guests pay for drinks on board or leave an open tab (must be arranged in advance). 

The service allows for the scattering of one set of human remains. For an additional scattering there is a 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.

The experience was memorable. The staff was excellent both during the process of preparing for the scattering at sea and especially during the scattering at sea. Very thoughtful, caring and well organized.
We used the yacht to scatter out loved one’s ’ashes. The service was impeccable and the staff was very professional.They went above and beyond to make this a great experience. I would recommend them any day and any time.
Nice yacht and Captain and his mate for the service. They were very helpful and explained the process. The boat was nice and they had cold bottled water some cookies and coffee waiting. We opted to have a bagpiper for our service and it was quite spectacular along with the spreading of the ashes with the roses. You would highly recommend this operation
Our family was looking at ways to scatter our parents’ cremated remains at sea, when I found Los Angeles Yacht Charter. While not inexpensive, their prices were reasonable and I was impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. They have a lot of experience with Burials at Sea and were extremely helpful in guiding us through the process. The basket with rose petals used to scatter the ashes was a nice touch. The Captain and his Mate were extremely helpful in accommodating our requests to make the service more personal. Overall, the experience exceeded our expectations and everything was perfect. My highest recommendations!
Excellent sea burial service. Easy reservation. Clear communication. Easy access to Marina Del Rey dock. Very nice Lady M boat. Captain Michael and Dan were great. Overall excellent experience.

More info on burial at sea and ash scattering services

What is the best time for scattering ashes at sea?
Early morning is often the calmest time for a charter on the water, though late afternoon or sunset can also provide a peaceful setting for reflection.

What days of the week can I book a charter for a burial at sea experience?
Private charters are available seven days a week. Please contact us for availability and pricing.

How long does an ash scattering experience take?
The length of the experience can vary depending on the time your group spends sharing memories or personal words. On a one-hour charter, guests can expect about 15–20 minutes to speak and lower the ashes.

Do I need an urn for a scattering at sea?
An urn is not required. Guests may bring biodegradable urns or containers if they wish. Please note that by law, urns cannot be left in the ocean and must be emptied according to regulations.

What paperwork is needed for an ash scattering?
California law requires a Disposition of Human Remains Permit and a certified copy of the death certificate. Families or licensed providers are responsible for securing the necessary documentation.

How much does a burial at sea experience cost?
Pricing varies based on departure location, vessel, and guest count. Please contact us for a custom estimate tailored to your group.

Where are ashes scattered at sea?
Scattering may take place within 500 yards of the shoreline according to California Health and Safety Code §7117.

Are children included in the guest count?
Yes. The United States Coast Guard counts all children individually from ages 0–18. On luxury yachts, all children 13 and under are required to wear life jackets for safety.

Are refreshments included?
Unless specified, refreshments are not included. Each vessel has its own food and beverage rules. Boats with liquor licenses do not allow outside alcohol and may offer cash bars upon request (pricing varies).

What type of clothing should I wear?
Bring a hat and sunglasses. Comfortable layers are recommended to adapt to the conditions of the day. It can be windier on the water than on land, and layers can be removed if it gets too warm.

How far in advance should I book a charter?
Charters are scheduled on a first-come, first-served basis. Early booking is recommended to secure your preferred date and time. Nothing is on hold or confirmed until payment is received and a confirmation email is issued.

What happens to urns or containers left on board?
For safety and environmental reasons, any container used to transport cremated remains will be disposed of by crew after the service. We encourage families to bring any personal keepsakes ashore or make arrangements prior to the ceremony if they wish to retain them.

Will I get seasick?
Seasickness varies by person. Morning charters are often calmer, so consider this when booking. Review tips in advance if you are concerned.

What happens to a body after burial at sea?
After a burial at sea, the ashes will find their place within the Pacific. Some parts will remain near the service spot, while others travel with the currents. For a full body burial, the body is placed in a special casket, sinks to the ocean floor, and disintegrates safely over time.

Who is responsible for the disposition during a burial at sea?
The legally authorized Person in Charge of remains retains full responsibility and authority over the disposition at all times. While vessel crew may assist with operational tasks such as positioning and lowering, they act solely in a support capacity and do not assume responsibility for the disposition itself. The Person in Charge of Disposition remains the final decision-maker throughout the process and is responsible for ensuring that all applicable federal, state, and maritime regulations are met.

What do you call a burial at sea?
A burial at sea can refer to either an ash scattering or a full body burial at sea. Both involve placing the deceased into the Pacific as a final resting place.

What is a bareboat charter?

 A bareboat charter is a vessel leased by the owner to another person (the “charterer”) without a captain or crew.

> It is considered a recreational vessel and may not be subject to Passenger Vessel inspections by the U.S. Coast Guard.

> Once the charterer takes possession, they are entirely responsible for the safe navigation of the vessel and its passengers.

> The owner of the vessel is generally not responsible for collisions, personal injuries, or crew wages.

> The charterer is responsible for the crew, fuel, insurance, maintenance, repairs, and any liability associated with the vessel.

> The charterer may select and pay crew and may discharge the master or any crew member without referral to the owner.

> The owner may require general proficiency standards for the crew based on federal statutes.

> Charterers and passengers are solely responsible for understanding and agreeing to the terms of any bareboat charter agreement.
