In August 2025 we chartered a small yacht for a Burial at sea service. Captain Mike and his assistant were extremely cordial, considerate and friendly. The entire proceeding was managed and carried out on time, professionally and impeccably. I highly recommend this company.
Quick, easy, and straight forward to book. The crew was awesome, the guests for my mother’s service spanned 5-85 years old and the crew was accommodating and helpful for all.
Great service clean boat they explain everything so there is no confusion and they walk you through the whole process will definitely be using again and recommending to all family and friends
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!
Burial at sea for my husband with Los Angeles Yacht Charter was incredible! The Captain and mate were so obliging and the boat trip on a beautiful day was wonderful and brought us the closure and peace we needed. Thank you.
The experience was amazing! Both Dan and Pops were incredible, friendly, and very helpful! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good time on the water with their friends!
The experience on Los Angeles Yacht Charter was excellent. Great boat and great crew. Captain Michael and Deckhand Dan did a superb job of running the boat and managing all of the expectations of the guests. Well done.
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.
My family just used Los Angeles Yacht Charters to book an ash scattering boat trip for my late husband. They were very prompt in their communications with us, and all was as described. We went out on the Dreamer from Ventura Harbor. The service went off without a hitch and we were able to have the perfect send-off for my ocean loving husband. I would highly recommend the services of Los Angeles Yacht Charters.
I booked this to celebrate my birthday over the summer. The LA Yacht Charter team were super quick with answering any questions I had and the crew onboard were so welcoming and fun (shoutout to Dan and Pops!). Thanks for making this birthday unforgettable!
I worked with the team at Los Angeles Yacht Charter to organize an ash scattering for our family. After doing some research and reading some reviews, I decided to go with Los Angeles Yacht Charter. From the moment I reached out, they were responsive, professional, extremely courteous, and respectful. They were consistently that way from beginning to end. I thought for sure they would blow me off at some point because I asked so many questions throughout the process but, no, they were kind and responsive through all of it. The actual service went very well. Everything went as described/planned. The crew (Mike and captain Dan) was prompt, friendly, courteous, professional, respectful, and extremely helpful. My dad's ashes were carefully placed in a basket and covered with flower petals to reduce the risk of the ashes getting blown away. Mike gave us detailed instructions on how to best scatter the ashes. We followed his instructions and the whole process went smoothly. I could not have asked for a better outcome as we laid my dad to rest in his final resting place.
This was a great experience! Highly recommended, Captain Guy and Dottie were the best crew we could have asked for. They were very accommodating and made sure we had the best time in the world on our voyage. The yacht was in great shape and nothing was unexpected except for the dolphins that swam next to the yacht for about 30 minutes! 10/10
I used Los Angeles Youct Charter to help spread my mothers ashes in the ocean per her wishes. The process to book was fairly quick. They provided multiple options for group sizes and allowed me to upgrade when we needed more space. Once the boat was arriving, the caption called me to make sure I didn't have any questions. On the vessel, the deck hand was very respecful and helped guide us on when to have people speak and when it was time to prepare the ashes and then lower them. She offered to help at any stage or we could take charge. Very flexable. The boat was large enough and steady enough to walk around. Easy to find a quiet space to morn or be close to loved ones during this difficult time. I am very greatful for their communication, kindness and attention to the situation. I will note, they did bring their children with them. The children were very respectful, stayed out of the main area of the mornors and were not a distrubance in any way.
It couldn't have gone any better. Michael and Dan were both great. The whole family thought it was perfect and fitting for what our deceased loved ones would have wanted. Thank you!
I flew in from Utah to spread my moms ashes.The entire experience exceeded my expectations. From scheduling to the crew on the boat, the service was amazing. They assisted me in getting the needed California permit so it was in place when I arrived. I highly recommend this company.
I had used another charter company before but when it came to scheduling a day trip, this company was so much easier to communicate with. Timely text message responses. Fair pricing. And also they have multiple options on boats and staff. I have a new favorite yacht rental company.
Great service and very professional, Super accommodating, we arrived early and they allowed us to start our services early, over the top all the way around.
The experience was absolutely amazing! The boat was nice and clean the captin was great! We came from Texas to spread my moms ashes back in her home town. Such a beautiful day it was and over 100 dolphins guided the boat back into land. Before my mom passed she told her grandkids to look for dolphins and to know she is always with them! We had over 100!!! It was the greatest send off and gave my family just comfort knowing that she was with us!
Thank you Los Angeles Yacht Charter for giving us a great experience during the scattering of the ashes of our beloved love one. I appreciate the smooth communication. This company is organized and efficient. It was very efficient from the time I spoke to someone who explained everything to me and gave me a quote till the day of the scattering. The process from the start to the end was smooth. They made this emotional day easy, smooth and comfortable- they told us what to expect, the schedule and the travel time. The Captain of the boat Gary was kind and professional. He went through the safety precautions/procedure and took us to his favorite spot. We also got the doves which added serenity and peace to the ceremony. I highly recommend Los Angeles Yacht Charter !
Yacht and crew was professional and friendly like part of the ceremony. It was perfect and deeply emotional, a wonderful experience. Thank you L A YACHT Svs
Omg Dotty & John were amazing! They were very attentive & helpful throughout the whole stay! Everybody had a grand time & we are already planning to book again in the near future!

Booked this for my fiancés 30th birthday and it was a hit! The weather was perfect, the Last Light was very well kept, and Captain Burt and Dottie were amazing! I would definitely recommend. The whole group had so much fun.
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.
Crew was great! Had coffee and cookies set up for us. Very accommodating yet gave us our time alone to celebrate my daughter. Would highly recommend them!!
My family procured the Burial At Sea services and was elated by the experience, professionalism, support and compassion that they showed to us during the services. The harpist was phenomenal as well.
