Exchange vows surrounded by the stunning waters of Key West. Enjoy a private, officiated ceremony and toast your love with breathtaking ocean views.
Gulfstream Fishing is a Key West, Florida-based charter that specializes in intimate ceremonies on the water. The company offers two primary experiences: ash scattering memorial services and small wedding ceremonies framed by the ocean horizon. Each offering is designed to provide a dignified, personal occasion away from shore where family and close friends can gather in a quiet marine setting.
For memorial services, Gulfstream Fishing provides ash scattering ceremonies that emphasize reflection and tribute. These services take place on calm coastal waters, often at sunset, and may include the gentle laying of flowers on the waves to honor a loved one. The approach prioritizes privacy, respect, and a tranquil atmosphere for remembrance.
For couples seeking a simple nautical wedding, Gulfstream Fishing conducts intimate ceremonies with a personalized vow exchange. The captain officiates each ceremony, delivering customized words and leading a celebratory toast after vows. The focus is a no-frills, heartfelt experience with the ocean as a backdrop.
