Scattering of ashes from weymouth along the jurassic coast
Scattering a loved ones ashes out at sea can provide a memorable way of celebrating a life and giving a peaceful send off whilst you have a very personal and secluded chance to bid farewell.
We offer experienced skippers who can provide guidance on the scattering of Ashes at sea and for those wishing to go further than just outside of Weymouth, we can venture further afield to Portland Bill, Durdle Door or Lulworth Cove.
There are few regulations when it comes to scattering ashes from a boat and we can guide you through the process. The main consideration is that we ask only biodegradable items are used in the sea to avoid pollution. We avoid the placing of wreaths etc which have plastic in them.
We have 2 boats suited to this, Arla Tide, a larger slower boat which can accomodate up to 12 people comfortably for a slow sedate trip out into Weymouth Bay or Buccaneer, a RIB which can comfortably take 9 people but has a far greater range, easily able to reach Durdle Door or Portland Bill when required.
For both boats, we provide life jackets where required and a competent skipper who can help you through the scattering.
What else can we offer
On the day, the skipper can assist you by reading a prayer or chosen passage. We can provide a quiet soundtrack in the background or play your loved ones favourite song.
If you wish, the skipper can scatter the ashes for you or you are more than welcome to do this for yourselves.
In short, we will do what we can to make the process easier for you and can discuss this prior to the day.

We can be as flexible as possible for the timings but the more notice you can give us the better. evenings and weekends can also be catered for.
