This type of service is particularly suited for accommodating an unlimited number of guests. It provides an inclusive opportunity for those who may not feel comfortable being on the water to still engage in a heartfelt farewell.

While gratuities are not included in our service charges, they are sincerely appreciated. A customary gratuity, typically 20%, is a valued gesture of recognition for the crew's dedication and hard work in facilitating your ceremony with care and dignity. We believe in the profound significance of scattering ashes at sea – a gesture that symbolizes a return to the embrace of nature’s grandeur, honoring your loved one’s final wishes with purity and reverence.
