Premium Private Maritime Memorial Cruise & Sea Scattering Ceremony in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Boat: Axopar 37 XC, 38 ft, ultra-luxury class Up to 13 guests, private charter (only your group aboard)

A private memorial cruise out of Fort Lauderdale on a 38-foot Axopar, for families who want a quiet, dignified farewell on the Atlantic.

From the marina off SE 15th Street the boat runs out through Port Everglades Inlet. The open Atlantic is close here, so reaching 3 nautical miles offshore is a short run, roughly 3 to 4 nautical miles, and more of your time is spent at the ceremony. The scattering happens at least 3 nautical miles from land, as the federal EPA burial-at-sea rule requires, and the captain files the EPA report afterward.

Port Everglades is a working cruise and cargo port, so the captain keeps well clear of ships and their security zones on the way out.

You lead the ceremony, or the captain can help guide it: share memories, read a passage or prayer, play a song, then release the ashes together. There is no rush.

Departure time is up to you and the weather. Many families choose late afternoon or near sunset, when the water is often calmer. If anything needs to change after booking, the captain will contact you.
