Details

Located on the serene shores of Huntington Beach, California, Prince Charters, LLC offers a deeply meaningful private memorial sea scattering experience. Huntington Beach, often called "Surf City USA," is best known for its laid-back coastal ambiance and expansive harbor waters, making it an ideal and respectful setting for honoring loved ones who have passed. Prince Charters stands out in this region for its unique service of facilitating dignified ash scatterings at sea, delivered with compassion and professionalism.

The company operates out of Huntington Harbour, a sheltered and picturesque marina area known for its calm waters and scenic views. Guests board classic wooden vessels like the beautifully maintained "Alexandria" or the luxury yacht "Journey," each equipped for intimate gatherings. These boats provide a tranquil environment that allows families and friends to pay their respects with meaningful rituals such as prayers, singing, flower offerings, and careful scatterings of ashes using delicate basket-lowering methods.

What truly differentiates Prince Charters in this coastal community is their focus on personalized care and cultural sensitivity, including an understanding of various religious rites, such as Hindu customs. The small, attentive crew, led by experienced captains and compassionate staff, ensures that every moment is treated as a sacred farewell, not just a service. This ethos is reflected in traditions like circling memorial sites and ringing the ship’s bell multiple times, ceremonies that create space for reflection and final goodbyes.

Beyond the ritual, the peaceful cruising through Huntington Harbour’s scenic waterways also offers guests the chance to absorb the local marine environment while creating lasting memories with their loved ones. Whether it’s the gentle lapping of waves, sightings of dolphins, or the beauty of the sunset over the Pacific, each element contributes to the solemn yet comforting experience.

Prince Charters, LLC has become a vital part of the Huntington Beach community by offering this rare and thoughtful way to celebrate life and serve grieving families with grace and dignity.
