Experience a heartfelt journey as you spread ashes at sea aboard a comfortable passenger catamaran.

Outing Highlights

THE VESSEL

Passenger Catamaran Comfort

Board one of the operator’s passenger catamarans for a four‑hour voyage designed around a commemorative ceremony at sea; the platform is straightforward and focused on a respectful, communal experience.

THE CEREMONY

A Quiet Tribute on the Water

The core of the outing is the spreading of ashes at sea—a deliberate, serene moment that leverages the open ocean as a simple, natural setting for remembrance.

THE PRACTICALS

BYOB with Coolers Provided

The operator supplies two large coolers filled with ice so guests may bring their own beverages; as a courtesy and safety measure, glass containers are discouraged.

What the day feels like

What the Four Hours Feel Like

The trip unfolds as a compact, intentional service at sea: boarding at the marina, a period offshore during which ashes are scattered and companions share moments of remembrance, and the return passage. The vessel’s amenities and the provided coolers make the outing functional and focused on the ceremony itself.
