Memorial At Sea

SunSwept Sailing offers a peaceful and dignified ash scattering service and memorial at sea aboard the classic sailing yacht Kelpie. Surrounded by the calm beauty of the Pacific Ocean, families and close friends can gather in a quiet and respectful setting to celebrate the life and memory of a loved one. The gentle motion of the yacht, the open horizon, and the soothing sea breeze create a deeply meaningful atmosphere for reflection and remembrance. Our caring crew thoughtfully prepares every detail so that you and your family can focus on sharing memories, offering tributes, and honoring a life that will always remain in your hearts. Visit Santa Barbara Harbor.

During this special journey, beautiful flowers are prepared for the scattering ceremony and a memorial certificate is carefully created with the name of your loved one or cherished pet along with the location of their final resting place at sea. Guests are kindly asked to remove their shoes before boarding to help preserve the yacht’s warm and welcoming environment. Light catering options may be arranged and a small onboard bar offers local beer, wine, and refreshing water for guests who wish to raise a quiet toast in remembrance. This private charter experience allows an intimate gathering where families can share peaceful moments together on the ocean.
