Say Goodbye to Loved Ones by Scattering their Ashes in Monterey!
Scattering a loved one’s ashes at sea is a meaningful way to say goodbye. We offer one or two hour charters along the Pacific Grove coast for ash scatterings, including unattended services. We often stop near Lover’s Point so you and your family can easily visit the location later. If you have a specific location in mind, please let our staff know when making your reservation.
Feel free to bring flowers or other plant material to include in the water with the ashes as part of the send-off. We also encourage the use of biodegradable urns, which can be placed entirely in the water.
We are licensed by the State of California Cemetery and Funeral Bureau as a Cremated Remains Disposer to scatter ashes at sea.
To scatter ashes at sea, you must obtain a permit. You can get this permit from the Monterey County Health Department at 1270 Natividad Road, Salinas, CA 93906. Alternatively, you can request that the permit from the crematorium states “for scatter at sea off the coast of Monterey.”
After the scattering, we will provide you with a certificate including the GPS coordinates of the scattering location for your memories and records.

Important Notes:
- If your trip does not sight a whale, you will be issued a “Raincheck” coupon to come back and try again on us! Rainchecks never expire!
- If you do not cancel or reschedule your trip outside the 24-hour window, you will not be entitled to a refund, even if you reschedule to a date that gets cancelled.
- Groups of 5 or more will incur a 15% rebooking fee.
- We reserve the right to cancel a trip at any time for reasons including safety concerns, inclement weather, or undersubscription. If we need to cancel, we will notify you as soon as possible using the contact information provided during booking.
- Please note, weather conditions can change rapidly, and we may need to make a last-minute decision on cancellations. Our goal is to ensure safe, manageable conditions for every trip, even if it means making a decision close to departure time.
- We typically require at least 10 passengers for a trip to depart. If there aren’t enough reservations, we will either reschedule or refund your booking, allowing you to choose a new date. We will do everything we can to recruit enough passengers, but cancellations may still occur close to departure if we don’t meet the minimum.
