Scattering Ashes At Sea
Saying the final goodbye can be one of the hardest moments in the process of grieving and letting go. Somehow you want to be sure the mood is right, and that the setting is special. You may want time to say important things, perhaps some special music that has particular meaning, and maybe some poetry or prayers. As family and friends you may want time alone to grieve.
Scattering the ashes of your loved one at sea can help you do just that. And you can do that all year round. The all inclusive cost for the yacht & skipper is just £390 for you and up to 6 guests.
What Does The Time Include?
You get a fabulous 36ft yacht and skipper all to yourselves. Before the day you will be asked what your preferences are, and we will build your time around those choices, your choices. Your experienced skipper will welcome you and your invited family or guests on board, and then sail to your selected destination usually in the Solent.
- You choose the length of time from 1.5 hours to half day
- Location means you can sail any time any day – you choose
- Fabulous luxury yacht with onboard kitchen & toilet
- Easy to travel by rail or car
At the appropriate moment you will be left on your own to scatter the ashes in whatever way you have chosen. Many people have their loved ones‘ music playing. Sometimes family members want to say a few words, or read some selected poetry.
You may wish to toast your loved one in some way.
"When we scattered the ashes at sea we simply said ‘Goodbye Paul’. It was so utterly appropriate, and somehow it brought the closure I had been looking for"

What Happens After We Scatter The Ashes?
For many this is a very important time too. Some call it ‘moving on’ others call it, ‘Breaking the mood’. For others, it is simply time to experience something good, wholesome and natural. After the ceremony, we will encourage you to enjoy sailing on the boat. As one writer put it, ‘There is something that touches the eternal in the sea’. The wind in your hair, the open space, the sound of water on the hull, all does its bit to bring something lovely, something healing into your day.
