About
Castaway at Sea was born from our family’s love of the ocean and a deep respect for those who served before us. Both of our grandparents proudly served in the Navy, and we’ve always felt a strong connection to the sea.
Using our own family boat, we created this service to help others honor their loved ones’ final wishes with care and dignity.
We treat every ceremony as if it were our own family ensuring a peaceful, heartfelt farewell on the open waters of the Pacific.

It felt personal
"We didn’t really know what to expect, but it turned out to be one of the most meaningful days our family has ever shared. Being together on the boat, telling stories, and watching the ashes drift into the ocean was both emotional and comforting. It felt personal, not like a service run by strangers. We’re so grateful we chose Castaway at Sea—it was exactly what my grandmother would have wanted."
Carl & Family
Our sweet dog Bella
"When our dog Bella passed, we just wanted to give her a send-off that felt special. She always loved the beach, so letting her go at sea felt right. Castaway at Sea handled it with so much kindness—it didn’t feel like just a service, it felt like saying goodbye in the way she deserved."
Danielle & Chris
Dad's Wish
"We couldn’t make the trip out to California, and honestly we felt guilty about that. But Castaway at Sea made it so easy and respectful. They took care of everything, kept us updated, and sent photos so we could be part of it from afar. Knowing Dad’s wish was honored on the ocean gave us a lot of peace."
