Christy Ann Martine
We had such a great experience! The photos do not do this boat justice, she is gorgeous! Plenty of space for 11 adults. Our friendly Capt Mark truly made our time on the water unforgettable. From start to finish, he ensured that every moment was enjoyable and safe. I cannot recommend this boat and team enough. Truly will never forget forget this birthday experience. Thank you Captain Mark, for a fantastic outing!
This was the most epic trip. We took our friends and family to Catalina for an amazing day. Captain Mark was absolutely phenomenal. He was super fun and accommodating. He took us around wherever we wanted to go and care of everything. He set up all the toys and made sure we had everything we wanted at all times. The boat is gorgeous and was spotless. This was one of the most memorable days ever. Thank you!!!
Captain Mark and Aperitivo = Only the Best! We had a super fun full life aquatic day for the Huntington Beach Airshow with fam and friends. Yachting with Captain Mark felt more like yachting with family. Mark has a boating CV that is lifelong, outstanding professional experience with a penchant for safety. That said; it was max fun knowing we were in great hands and enjoyed the day with blue skies, blue water and a high caliber Airshow out in the ocean. I even brought my father whom recently turned 79. He became as youthful as a teenager on full smiles out on the water with Mark showing him the ropes of yacht Aperitivo. All my friends are already calling me to make plans and get their families out on the water. Highly recommended, do not hesitate, get out and yacht; nothing but outstanding family/friends memories that will not be forgotten; thank you Mark, thank you Aperitivo 100%.
We chartered the Aperitivo for my daughter’s 15th birthday. Mark the Captain made us all feel comfortable and safe. His experience and knowledge of the ocean were very apparent. Everyone had a great time swimming, hanging out on the swim float, and paddleboarding. I had no idea how fast 4 hours could go by. The kids all had a blast and were very grateful of their time on the water. If you’re in the Newport Beach area and want to spend some quality time on a luxury vessel, then book this boat. You will not be disappointed!

Ash Scattering Burial at Sea Memorial Services on Journey
Journey is a beautiful luxury yacht that can accommodate up to 31 passengers for your ash scattering sea burial service. With ample seating inside and outside the yacht, your larger party is accommodated in comfort.
Journey provides a comfortable, elegant place with ample seating inside and outside the yacht, to hold your special, personal memorial service. Say farewell to your loved one however you see fit. The first mate can participate as little or as much as you would like, and is sensitive and familiar with all cultural traditions.
We are here for you through your difficult time and make every effort to accommodate your needs.
The ash scattering service is 90 minutes, including cruise time to and from the ash scattering destination. In true nautical sea burial tradition, the captain will ring the ship’s bell eight times after the ashes are scattered into the sea, signaling the last watch, and will then circle the site slowly three times in recognition of your loved one. You may also bring flowers to toss into the sea as we circle the site. This is a beautiful and memorable way to say goodbye to your loved one.
A customized certificate with the date, time and GPS coordinates is emailed within a week of the service. This background of the certificate uses a photo from your service showing the flowers floating on the sea with the coastline in the distance.
We have a wireless bluetooth stereo so a family member can bring special music to play throughout the cruise cruise and/or have a special song for the ash scattering ceremony.
Please reach out to us with any questions, concerns or requests. Your comfort is our top priority and we work hard to help you plan the service that meets your family’s needs.

Ash scattering at sea history.
Prince Charters was originally founded in 1965 by Captain Doug’s grandfather, Dr. Gilbert Prince. It all began with a love for the sea, and a priest who found a way to use that love to create a very special ministry to the bereaved. The Rev. Gilbert Prince, then rector of St. James, South Pasadena, led a group of clergymen in persuading California’s legislators to change the state law so that families could bring home ashes of their loved ones. Captain Doug continued his grandfather’s legacy serving Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Newport Beach and the many surrounding communities with ash scattering memorial services.

Answers To Common Questions About Scattering Ashes at Sea (in California)
- Chevron down Scattering ashes at sea takes how long? Where do you go?
Your chartered boat for scattering ashes at sea in California leaves and returns to the scenic Dana Point/South Laguna Beach coast within a one to two-hour time frame. To meet federal guidelines, we scatter the ashes no less than 3 miles offshore. However, we can also accommodate custom location requests and extended trips. Many folks like to spend extra time with the dolphins and whales that we find during our excursions. For optimal ocean conditions, we recommend a morning departure.

Before boarding your chartered boat for scattering ashes, you will need to have the Permit for Disposition of Cremated Remains from the Orange County Health Care Agency.
If the cremation was done in California, it should have been provided with the ashes. Otherwise, you’ll need to contact the Orange County Health Care Agency at 714-480-6700 to obtain the burial permit. It can usually be picked up same-day at their Santa Ana location.
- Chevron down Can I bring flowers when scattering ashes at sea in California?
Absolutely! You may bring flowers or wreathes (biodegradable components only) onboard your chartered boat for scattering ashes.

Please remember that everything placed in the water must be biodegradable. No wire, no ribbon, and no plastic. We appreciate your help keeping our oceans clean!

Guest Experiences
"My siblings and I, along with our spouses and adult children, chartered Capt Dave’s to scatter our parent’s ashes at sea. We extended our charter so that we could enjoy the ocean and all that it has to offer. Dolphins guided us through the waters as we cruised the ocean. A blue whale appeared both before and after our ceremony of scattering the ashes. It couldn’t have been more perfect. From the first day that we contacted Capt Dave’s to inquire about a charter to our last good-byes on the day of the charter, everyone we dealt with was wonderful – professional, informative, caring and so, so friendly. Many thanks to everyone at Capt Dave’s for making our day a wonderfully memorable one – the perfect tribute for a very special couple."
"Captain Dave’s staff; office and crew did an excellent job handling our Ash Scattering ceremony. They were respectful, safe and courteous, handled all of the details for us, and even added light to the event. I highly recommend them if you have to send someone off. They will treat you right and help you to say goodbye in the most beautiful way possible. I’ll definitely call them in the future for some recreational whale watching!"
"Awesome, awesome and awesome. They were prompt, curious and professional the whole way. We chartered a boat through Captain Dave’s to spread my late father-in-law’s ashes. Shannon, the person who assisted me with the order, was fantastic and very responsive to all of our needs. Captain Tom was extremely professional, helpful and very friendly. Everything from start to finish went off without a hitch and with a high level of dignity. It was the exact send off and closure we were looking for. Definitely recommended. Thank you so much to everyone at Captain Dave’s!"
"This Father’s Day we had a burial at sea for my father. I want to thank everyone at Captain Dave’s for making this difficult time a wonderful experience. Everyone did an amazing job. Shannon (who made our reservation), Captain Marie and Allison were sympathetic, compassionate, respectful and did a wonderful job explaining the process to us. Right after we put my father’s ashes in the sea and the flowers on the water, we were turning around to head back and encountered a pod of over 100 dolphins! They were playing all around the boat, and there baby dolphins too. It was so very special. We have used Captain Dave’s in the past for whale watching, and will continue to use them in the future. I have already told multiple people how wonderful their entire team is and that I highly recommend them."
We have used Captain Dave's Burial at sea service for both of my husband parents, now. They are so compassionate and easy to deal with. They also accommodated us by placing my Mother-in-law's ashes in the exact same spot her husband was placed 5 years earlier. Captain Neil and Hannah were so sweet and considerate. The customer service they provide is excellent. They also allowed us to go see a pair of Fin Whales in the area and informed us when one we saw went to the coordinates where we had just placed the ashes. It was very special and made the day so much easier on my husband. We will be returning for a whale watching trip with them soon.
Thank you for a very memorable and special morning facilitating an ash scattering for a loved family member. The crew went above and beyond, they were accommodating and kind. They made the day a huge success. Communication was excellent from the very first call. Thank you!
Captain Alex and first mate Will took our family out yesterday morning for an ash scattering service. They were great! It was really nice to be out on the water and they made it a memorable morning. Thanks to everyone at Captain Dave's.
We've been on three trips with Capt Dave's and loved them all. We even saw a humpback whale on our first trip a few summers back with them which is an experience of a lifetime. The trip we took on 8-19-23 was perfect for our occasion. When I learned that Capt Dave's did an ash scattering trip I booked it over other companies. And they did not disappoint. The first cool part is that a hurricane was predicted to come through on our day of going out. I had family flying in from the east coast just for the occasion and it would have been so disappointing to miss the trip entirely because of the storm. However, we were able to work together to change it to the evening before so we could all still enjoy the experience. It turned out to be a beautiful evening--the seas were calm before the storm and the sun even peeked out through the clouds. Our captain, Gary and his assistant Lauren were so kind and respectful. It's not easy losing a loved one and spreading their ashes at sea, but they explained how we were going to do it and allowed our family time to celebrate our loved one in our way and after we finished spreading the ashes we added some biodegradable flowers which ended up floating on top of the water and they circled the area while we all quietly prayed and cherished each other and the moment--It was perfect. Seeing wildlife at sea is not guaranteed, and we always understand that when going out, but it was so lovely to come across some pods of common dolphins swimming alongside before we headed back. We even saw some babies who may not have been more than two weeks old. How amazing to see new life while saying goodbye to a loved one. Overall it was a lovely evening and my entire family of 11 guests loved every moment. Thanks you Capt,, crew, and staff for going above and beyond to make it a perfect occasion for our family!!
