Prince Charters, LLC

We highly recommend PRINCE CHARTER LLC, it was a deeply beautiful as scattering service experience, the most loving farewell we could give our mom, helping her begin her new journey in peace. We’ll always cherish how wonderful it was. We had an intimate ash-scattering ceremony with our family, surrounded by memories of our mom and her favorite songs. The captain and crew were incredibly respectful and compassionate, honoring our emotions throughout the experience.

Google Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Everything happens for a reason, and I truly believe Mum guided me to Prince Charter. 💛 I searched earlier and they never even showed up — but when it was time to choose someone to scatter her ashes, they suddenly appeared at the top. Something just felt right. I called and spoke with Donna, and her warm, caring tone immediately put me at ease. From arranging the date to guiding me through everything, she handled it all with such compassion. 🙏✨ On the day of the scattering, we met the crew in Huntington Beach, and they took us out toward Seal Beach where we chose to scatter Mum’s ashes. The whole experience was peaceful, respectful, and beautifully done. 🌊💛 Our lady captain was calm, gentle, and so kind. Nate, the first mate, was warm, friendly, and incredibly caring. They made us feel safe, supported, and looked after every step of the way. ☀️✨ We also had Thai Buddhist monks with us, and the crew accommodated everything perfectly. The weather, the calm water, the respect shown — it was exactly what Mum would have wanted. I would recommend Prince Charter without hesitation to anyone looking for a thoughtful, compassionate team to help honor a loved one. They made a very difficult moment feel comforting and full of grace. 💛🌊

There is a first time for everything, and today we experienced something both deeply emotional and profoundly meaningful. Out of love and respect for one of our dearly departed, we made the decision to honor the memory by scattering the ashes at sea—a gesture of release, reverence, and peace. As we began researching how to carry out such a meaningful act, we discovered that there are companies who specialize in burials at sea and ash scatterings, offering thoughtful and dignified services for grieving families. That’s when we found Prince Charters LLC, based out of Huntington Beach, California. From the very first interaction, their compassion and professionalism were evident. Our small group of six boarded the classic wooden boat named ‘Alexandria’, a beautiful vessel that seemed to carry not only our physical presence but also our collective emotions and memories. The entire process took about an hour and a half, beginning with a tranquil cruise through the calm, scenic waters of Huntington Harbour, heading out toward the designated memorial site. Once we arrived, we held a simple yet heartfelt memorial service. We opened with a prayer, then gently sang “Amazing Grace”, letting the words and melody drift across the water. We then began the ash scattering, using a combination of hand scattering and a basket lowering method, accompanied by the release of rose petals—a poignant and beautiful image that we’ll never forget. Afterward, the Captain respectfully circled the memorial site three times, giving us space and time to say our final farewells. At the conclusion, the ship’s bell was rung eight times, a maritime tradition known as the “last watch,” signifying that our loved one’s earthly journey had come to an end. As we made our way back through the harbor, we were comforted by the gentle pace of the return journey, allowing us to reflect and find solace. The Captain and one crew member conducted the entire service with great care, dignity, and sensitivity, treating the occasion not as a business transaction, but as a sacred moment of farewell. It was evident that the founder of this company began with a heartfelt mission—to turn love into a ministry of comfort for the bereaved. Their work is not only professional, but deeply compassionate, providing families like ours with a meaningful way to say goodbye. To Prince Charters and the crew of Alexandria—thank you for your grace and reverence. May God bless your ministry and the hearts you continue to comfort.

AMAZING! I had no idea where to start and was completely overwhelmed when I was tasked to find a charter for my mother’s ash scattering. My siblings and I would be traveling from 3 different states to California and had no idea what we would need to do. I reached out to Prince Charters through the website and Donna immediately called. When she got my voicemail she sent a very detailed email and from there the communication was just as concise. Donna took care of all the details and was ALWAYS so kind! When we arrived for the charter we were greeted by an equally kind and welcoming gentleman who was there to guide us to the boat. He wasn’t going to be with us on the charter and was only there to show us to the boat, yet was so nice and welcoming. Once we arrived we were greeted by our two Captains, Captain Doug and Captain (I’m so sorry your name escapes me but you were so awesome and you run whale watching charters during the week!), they were great! We were given the initial safety briefing and were underway. From the start it always felt like we were cruising with friends and never felt like a stuffy business charter. We had 18 family members total and it was completely relaxed and laid back…..EXACTLY as mom would’ve wanted it! As we cruised my memories flooded back of the year her and I lived together in California and I felt like she guided me to this charter. We even saw a Thresher shark jump out of the water! As we approached the point of the cruise to spread her ashes the Captain lowered her basket. I was in awe of the beauty of it all and it was nothing I had imagined. The flower petals floated across the water as her ashes cascaded through the water. My daughter said, “mom, they looked like they had sparkles in there” . My brother, sister & I were given the space to just say goodbye to our mom, they respected our space, our grief and our family. They treated us like friends, not customers. They welcomed us on their boat and gave us the freedom to be with our family and relax. I never felt like I was in someone else’s space, I felt comfortable and at peace. My mom would’ve loved being there…..she was there. My daughter did say she felt like she saw my mom on one side and my grandpa on the other when my brother, sister and I were at the rail. As we cruised back to Huntington a group of dolphins swam past…..I have never seen so many together at once and I knew my mom was happy!! THANK YOU!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 stars When my father passed away in December, my family and I were searching for a company to help us spread his ashes in the ocean. We reached out to several businesses, but Prince Charters stood out immediately. They were the first to respond—within hours—while others took 24 to 72 hours to get back to us. Their quick turnaround, reasonable pricing, and the great vibe I got from them made the decision easy. And let me tell you, I couldn’t have been more right about choosing them. We arrived on a Sunday afternoon and were warmly greeted by Nyah, who led us to the boat where we met our captain, Lauren. Both of these incredible young women went above and beyond to make this experience special for us. Prince Charters clearly understands how to honor a life, and they were respectful and knowledgeable about Hindu rituals, which made the process so much smoother. Nyah had a basket prepared with flowers, and after we handed over the permit and my father’s ashes, she placed the ashes in the basket, layered flowers on top, and helped us spread them into the ocean. The boat ride lasted just over an hour, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Nyah and Lauren were compassionate, professional, and truly made us feel cared for. Prince Charters turned a difficult moment into a beautiful memory, and we’re so grateful for them. If you’re looking for a service like this, I can’t recommend Prince Charters enough. They’re the real deal.

Highly recommend Prince Charters, LLC for yacht rental for fun or parties. We hosted a small party on the boat, and the staff was amazing and easy to work with. There was someone to greet us in the parking lot and help with the limited parking. Guests were escorted to the boat. They were attentive with making sure everyone was comfortable, helping with drinks, and helping with cleaning decor and food. They were easy to communicate with leading up to the party and reasonably priced. I would. Again, highly recommend them for boat rental and hosting.

It was a sad day that we were celebrating my husband's like and returning him to the ocean that he loved. It was a gloomy weather day, but the capital and crew helped us through the procedure and made us all comfortable. I would highly recommend them for making a sad event very comfortable.

We had the absolute best time on our sunset cruise on their luxury yacht Journey! The captain and crew were amazing-we were met in the parking lot and led to the boat once everyone arrived, they captured some of the best photos before leaving the dock. (He understood the assignment - thank you so much 😁) They took such wonderful care of our group and were super mindful of my sister’s motion sickness (she was good the entire time). Even though we spent the majority of our time on the bow, having the different spaces for our group to spread out was fantastic. We had a separate space to set up food and the full service bar below deck was great. Booking with Donna was such a breeze, she super friendly and responded quickly to our questions and concerns. We are forever grateful for the lovely memories we created aboard. Thank you so very much for the magnificent time we had! PS we spotted dolphins 🐬

From the moment I found this charter, I knew it would be great! They have a couple of boats to choose from and lots of times throughout the week. I chatted with Donna a little bit when I realized I had used a credit card that had been hacked and I had to update my contact info. I want to channel her relaxed and efficient demeanor because she put me at ease and made me realize it was going to be a great charter. We got there about 30 minutes early and met Lauren, our Captain. She is fun and a great driver. She got us safely around the harbor and had so many great facts about the area. I fully and highly recommend this crew. It was my sister's bachelorette weekend and this was a great way to spend a couple hours of relaxation!

This was a sad day for us as this was a final farewell to my Father. We wanted to honor him by scattering his ashes at sea. We found Prince Charters and I have to say they made our experience a great one. After losing our dad in December, my family was on the hunt for a company to assist us with this process. We contacted a handful of places, but Prince Charters was in a league of their own. They got back to us lightning-fast--within a couple of hours--while others left us hanging for a day or more. Their speedy response, fair prices, and the warm, genuine energy they gave off sealed the deal for us. And honestly? They exceeded every expectation we had. We showed up on a Sunday afternoon and were greeted by Niyah, who instantly made us feel at ease. She walked us to the boat, where we met Captain Lauren. These two amazing women went out of their way to make this moment meaningful for us. Prince Charters clearly gets what it means to celebrate a life--they knew their stuff about Hindu traditions, which made everything flow so naturally. Niyah had a basket ready with flowers, and once we handed over the permit and Dad's ashes, she arranged them beautifully, layering the flowers over the ashes before helping us release them into the water. We were also lucky to see dolphins on our trip too which was nice. The boat trip lasted a little over an hour, and it was everything we could've hoped for. Niyah and Lauren were kind, professional, and so attentive--they made us feel truly supported. What could've been a heavy day turned into a peaceful, unforgettable tribute, and we owe that to Prince Charters. If you're looking for a team to handle something this special, stop your search here. Prince Charters is as good as it gets.

We had an amazing cremation service on prince charter. They were very kind & professional. The yacht was very nice and plenty of room to sit. Everyone in our party was impressed with their service. Would definitely recommend them.

We had a beautiful and peaceful scattering service with Prince Charters. Everything went very smoothly, and the captain and crew were kind, patient, and respectful throughout the entire process. It was such a meaningful experience for our family. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well prepared. We truly appreciate how everything was handled with care and dignity. Thank you, Donna and the team, for making this special day go so perfectly. Highly recommended. -- Trang L.

Our Captain, Steve and first mate, Nate were incredibly helpful and kind while our family said goodbye to our mom. Even Donna in the office was responsive and communicative from the get go. I researched many companies who would help us scatter our moms ashes and am very glad to have chosen Prince Charters. That you to the whole team for making a difficult time a bit easier.

Captain Clark and first mate Tina were personable and very capable on our cruise to scatter my mother's ashes. Even though we had quite choppy waters due to a pending storm, Capt'n Clark demonstrated excellent command of our boat to help minimize the unsteadiness and put us all at ease. Tina was very respectful in handling my mom's ashes and dispersing them at sea, a beautiful ceremony treasured by all on board.

Exceeded my expectations! Wonderful staff to work with. This is a 5 star, Class Act operation.

Everything about this service was prepared with heart and executed with much care. From meeting Nate in the parking lot to guide us to the boat, from the smooth ride out to sea thanks to the Captain, to the handling of our mom's ashes beautifully arranged in a basket with rose petals, and for the follow up e-mail days later from Donna sending us a lovely certificate with the coordinates of where my mom was laid to rest. My family & I couldn't have asked for a better experience during a very difficult time of our lives! THANK YOU Prince Charters :)

Prince Charters did an amazing job with helping us do a memorial at sea for our Mother. It was very clean, comfortable, and quaint! I could ask for a better way to honor our Mother. The crew was extremely helpful and understanding.

The boat was just perfect for what we were looking for. The classic look of the circa 1948 boat was a plus. The skipper Lauren was very nice and Nate the crew was also. The experience of scattering the ashes was respectfully done by the crew by lowering them into the water in a basket surrounded by petals. It was very nice. Overall...it was a positive experience that I would recommend.

We just hosted our engagement party on the yacht charter and I can honestly say it was a flawless experience from start to finish. When we arrived, the staff helped us with everything - from finding parking, to loading up the boat with all of our food (we had a LOT!) and even helping us decorate and set everything up, as well as coordinating a champagne toast! Reina was a wonderful bartender and I received many compliments about how chatty and welcoming she was with our guests. We are so happy with the service we received, and the ride itself was smooth and so much fun. I would recommend Prince Charters to anyone who wants a seamless and beautiful charter!

I used the sea burial service for my ex-husband yesterday from Prince Charters yesterday. I first spoke to Donna regarding the service; she was very helpfulI, patient and compassionate. I was also so impressed with the captain and the deck officer. They were professionaland proficient. The boat was immaculately clean, and the journey was serene and peaceful.

Very professional and easy boat ride out of Huntington Harbor. Donna made this very easy to coordinate a day and time. Also she was able to promptly answer any questions I had.

A beautiful farewell for my mother. The captain and crew were respectful and helpful.

Surprise birthday for Rafa went well on board the vintage yacht for 30 people. It started a bit warm below deck but once She got moving we were comfortable. The restroom was clean although it had the faint smell of of old urine. A generous spray down with an urine neutralizer on a regular basis should do the trick. I had my travel-size PooPourri so my experience was saved. There was a bar available. We opted for potluck style meal/food for an emphasis on the bday boys faves. Two hours goes by quickly. But we did go out where the channel becomes the ocean and watched the sunset too!

We had an ash scattering ceremony with Prince Charters. Donna was wonderful to communicate with from start to finish. The deckhand Ryan was polite, professional, and showed great attention to detail. He helped everyone find parking and was attentive throughout the ceremony. Highly recommend!

My wife and I got married on the luxury yacht (Journey) and it was the most incredible, perfect experience we could have dreamed of. Donna was so friendly and helpful, accommodating our every request and even giving specific recommendations on where the best place to have our ceremony was. Captain Jimmy and the team as well as Reyna and crew at the bar were all fantastic. I would 100% recommend anyone to take this experience, the value is incredible and it makes for a wonderful wedding venue if you're doing something on the smaller more casual and intimate side. We can't thank Prince Charters enough, you made our wedding so special and stress free.

We booked their service for ash scattering service for my parents and they did an amazing job. Donna was so kind and helpful during this difficult moments. We initially booked the arrangement for mom's ash scattering, however, within 2 weeks my dad also passed and Donna graciously offered for us to be able to reschedule and scatter them both together at a future date with no additional cost. She also upgraded us to a bigger boat. Their ashes were combined in a basket with petals of roses for us to scatter. I'm so grateful for Donna and Prince Charters for the beautiful moment and arrangement to send off our parents' ashes. The captain and the crew were very helpful and respectful. We hope to book the service again for happier occasion. Thank you again.

We got the Burial At Sea service for my dad. And the crew was very respectful and informative of the process. Easy booking process and great customer service.

Captain Doug and Crew member Jake were beyond amazing. They were so kind and patient and understanding. We booked this to spread the ashes of our loved one. Parking is in the Yacht Club parking lot and it's about $3 per hour to park. Brings a credit card. The yacht has a bar and alcohol available for purchase along with water, Coke, Diet Coke, and Sprite. We were allowed to bring our own bottled water as well. We had food catered to our event. Captain Doug is such a skilled Captain. The water was fighting us a bit and he did a great job!! He was so friendly and a great conversationalist. Crew Member Jake was so incredibly kind with the perfect attitude and demeanor for the somber event. He had a gentle smile the entire time. He kept a great eye on the older passengers and was quick to help before they even realized their legs were about to come out from under them. There are blankets on board also. Such a great personal touch. Thank you again Captain Doug and Jake!

5-star experience from the reservation to the end of the ocean voyage. The crew was professional, informative, and very considerate.

We traveled from Georgia to bring home USMC Force Recon Sgt Thurston A Prince and highly recommend the Burial at Sea services of Prince Charters LLC. Their compassion and professionalism from booking by Donna to Captain Jimmy & his crew was evident and greatly appreciated starting with the first phone call until the scattering was completed.

Absolutely blown away by this company! We have been planning our wedding for over a year and because of covid-19, our main ceremony and reception had to be postponed. We still wanted to get married of course and we last decided last second to get married on a boat. Prince Charters went above and beyond with everything and were so accommodating! We were upgraded to the yacht for no charge and they did everything to make us feel special on our day. Definitely recommend them if you are looking for a day or evening out on the water!

5-Stars experience from start to finish. The crew was friendly and gracious. The owner Donna was extremely pleasant to work with.

We finally laid our mom to rest and we are so grateful to have found Prince Charters. Capt. Doug, first mate and Ms. Donna truly went above and beyond. Their 5 star rating is LEGIT. Thank you so much for making our mom's ash scattering at sea smooth and perfect all the way. And we hope to use your services again, but hopefully under different circumstances.

Our family was on the Journey yacht for a Celebration of Life for our dad yesterday. I initially spoke with Donna who was informative, compassionate, respectful and very professional. I was also impressed to learn this is a third generation family business. The yacht was perfect and the captain and first mate did an outstanding job with clear instructions, kind communication and respected our wishes for our dad's scattering of ashes at sea. The lowering of ashes with the rose petals was beautiful. We brought extra roses with us so each of our party to place a rose at sea with his ashes making it a very heartfelt send off. Front beginning to end, Prince Charters was a class act! Highly recommend! Thank you very much from our entire family :)

Donna was so responsive from the moment I inquired about the scattering at sea. We first connected on Yelp, then she called to confirm the booking and then emails were sent with detailed information. I even got reminder emails which was so helpful. Everything was well thought out and all we had to do was show up. She was already at the parking lot waiting to guide us to the boat. She made sure all our questions were answered and came around on the boat a few times asking if we needed anything. Even came to tell us when the water was rough but just to reassure that it was just that specific area that we were going through. Whatever you read on their website seems like a beautiful ceremony that you would wish for any of your loved ones. It was even more meaningful and beautiful out at sea. In my grief of finally saying goodbye, I couldn't help but feel like I was in a beautiful poetic movie while the captain continued to circle around our baby's ashes and the rose petals. Thank you, Donna and the Captain for your generosity and kind nature. You made saying goodbye so much easier. I am so happy that I stumbled upon you and your services. Thank you, again.

I have used Prince Charters twice for Ceremony at Sea. First for my stepdad and the second time for my mother. Both times I was very satisfied with Prince Charters. Gabe and Captain Jimmy were both great, they were helpful and friendly. Gabe was there to greet us at the parking lot, guided us and helped us aboard, explained the process, and he was very helpful. Both captain Jimmy and Gabe made our Ceremony at Sea a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Prince Charters to everyone that needs their services.

This past weekend, we used Prince Charters to scatter my father's ashes in Huntington Beach. From the initial booking with Donna to our kind Deckhand Gabriel and Captain Jimmy, the entire process went smoothly and couldn't have asked for a more beautiful send off for our father. Every detail was taken care of even Kleenex handed to me when I became emotional. Our family and friends enjoyed a lovely cruise through the harbor until we reached our destination. We all had plenty of time to say a few words, tell stories and take pictures. We opted out of music on the way out and back so everyone could talk but you have the option to bring your own playlist. I highly recommend Prince Charters if you are considering scattering your loved ones ashes at sea. The customer service was exceptional and for a moment like this, the staff at Prince Charters became a wonderful part of dad's celebration of life!

I loved my experience with Prince Charters! They are truly exceptional from the correspondence to the experience. Our group had a wonderful cruise to celebrate the holidays and everyone loved it. I look forward to using them again and again!

Used Prince Charters to scatter the ashes of my father. I was searching other websites and liked the vessel that would be used if we went with Prince Charters. I was also surprised that their cost was about the lowest I saw. Things only got better from there. Over the phone they were very professional, respectful and answered all the questions I had, being the first time I had needed this service. I felt the scattering of remains was being handled and I could focus on other matters dealing with the passing of my father. The day of the ceremony continued to be a breeze. Parking was very easy and Capt. Doug and crew had the boat tied up and waiting for us to show up. The boat was beautiful and looked better in person than the photographs. (Something you rarely see). I had a music playlist all set up on my phone and it took just a few seconds to have it coming through the boat's speakers. The actual scattering was very traditionally nautical with the ringing of the bell and circling the site. Doug and Donna (Capt. and crew) had everything very organized and were very nice. My family felt this was following my father's wishes to a T. We all were very happy with Prince Charters.

What an amazing time!! I planned a surprise birthday celebration for my girlfriend and invited all of her friends. It was definitely a birthday she'll never forget. Thank you so much Captain Doug and Donna for helping me plan this special occasion from beginning to end. You two made this moment very special for my girlfriend and I. Details: - Able to answer all questions I had quickly and efficiently. - Provided a great environment. - Boat was absolutely beautiful. - Amazing individuals who care for you and your special occasion. - Wine was amazing and worth the purchase. An all around great experience and a definite must. Don't pass up an opportunity to book your event with Prince Charters LLC.

This company was absolutely amazing during such difficult times for me and my family in the scattering of my husband's ashes. They were kind, sympathetic, and beyond helpful and understanding. I highly recommend to everyone! Thank you guys for everything!!

I had to arrange an ash scattering service for my mom who passed away of Covid19, Donna sympathetically and thoughtfully helped me with the difficult details. My wife went and visited the yacht, so that we could have a better idea of what we were doing, Donna answered all her questions. It was then that I knew that I made the right choice with choosing Prince Charters and I knew I made the right choice to have an ash scattering service for my Mom. When we arrived at the boat, Jack was there to greet us and handle everything from that point on. Jack and Steve made us feel at home from the beginning of the service until the end. We scattered a white rose to toss into the ocean to honor my mom. The service we received from Donna was flawless. It had rained in the morning, but when we arrived at the point of where we were going to scatter my mom's ashes, the sun came out and shined on us. God was telling me that it was going to be alright. It was emotionally freeing to release my mom's ashes into the sea. As stated before, This is a beautiful way to say goodbye to a loved one. I highly recommend Prince Charters

We had a surprise birthday party for my husband. It was absolutely perfect! The crew was very attentive. The "Journey" is a beautiful vessel. We had 24 people with plenty of room to move around and everyone had a great view. The total cost was pricey but the experience and memories were PRICELESS.

This was my first time doing an ashes at sea scattering and I would choose this over a funeral any day!!! It was so peaceful and beautiful. I booked the larger boat "Journey" for 10 family members at 11 am on a Sunday in July and the weather was perfect. It was nice to have room for all of us to move around and not be packed into a tiny boat. The captain Jimmy and first mate (i forgot his name ) were very professional and accommodating. The first mate helped us with parking and carrying our belongings to the boat. We played my dad's favorite songs on the boat's bluetooth speaker and were allowed 15 min to say our final thoughts. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs. When my dad was put into the water, the first mate rang the bell, and we circled him 3 times. It was overcast and the clouds opened up right when he was in the water. It was perfect and such a magical moment, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a funeral alternative. Out of all the ashes at sea scattering companies I checked out, BOOK THIS ONE you wont regret it. Its nice to be out in nature and give my dad back to the earth, plus we saw dolphins! You also get the exact coordinates of where your loved one is from the owner.

We were looking for a charter boat to spread my dad's ashes. I called prince charter, and Donna in the office was so nice and helpful. The crew was just awesome and couldn't have been nicer and helpful. Everything about this day was just perfect. And I just want to thank Prince Chartres for making my mother happy in this sad time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

We had a scattering at sea for my parents on June 8th, had a great time on the Alexandria, both Capt Doug and deckhand Donna, we're both wonderful. I have recommended them since I was a funeral director, and have been on both boats and Journey. It was a fun day, for all of us and a beautiful day! Thank you Doug and Donna, you made it special.

Excellent choice for burial at sea. Very friendly, helpful, and the boat was spectacular. Donna was extremely helpful during the entire process of information, booking, questions, etc. highly recommend and very affordable. Thanks for the beautiful service!

I booked for my husband's birthday and it was Absolutely beautiful. The staff was very friendly. My husband and family had a good time. Beautiful views and just relaxing even for the little ones. I would love to do it again

Last month I scheduled a sail with a handful of friends with Captain Doug and his wife. This time around, scheduling was a breeze. He was prompt and timely with all his responses, and all the information he sent about the location of the dock, etc., were very helpful. One girl in our party got lost regardless, because Apple Maps is one of the worst programs to ever be invented, but he took the phone and directed her to where we were. The boat is beautiful and reminded me of when I used to sail. It made me want to get a boat of my own, but alas, I cannot yet afford one. I may never be able to afford one -- haha -- but there is still time before I can say so for sure. Snacks and soda were provided. Though we didn't partake in any of the beverages because we brought our own, we ate all the fruit, cookies, crackers, and cheese that was put out. Our favorite was the asiago, and the five of us ate it like we had never before set eyes on cheese. It was quite embarrassing. Mostly, though, we were too busy looking around and enjoying the views and sail for much else. Dough and his wife were delightful and joined in on our conversations and jokes. He even let each of us have a hand at steering the vessel, and we got some great pictures along the way. It was a beautiful day, and I can wholeheartedly recommend his services as we had a lovely afternoon.

We found Prince Charter, LLC. from a web search and contacted them for the ash scattering service for our relatives. I left an email and also called them. Dana responded quickly and we reserved the Alexandria for the service for our family of 10. The reservation was easy, and the communication was very efficient and courteous. We were informed about the steps to prepare for the ash scattering. On the day of the service, we met Gabriel and Jimmy at the Huntington Beach Yacht Chub dock and boarded the ship. Gabriel prepared the beautiful basket with yellow roses (per our request with Donna) and a red rose in the middle to hold the ash. He also sprinkled the basket with the small white champaca flowers (magnolia) that we brought from our garden. We rode about 25 minutes in the Huntington harbor area and the ride was very smooth. When we entered the open sea, the ride was a little choppy because of the waves. We brought Dramamine for seasickness, but we did not need to use it. We chose Huntington Beach over Seal Beach location since we live in HB. The captain rang the bell four times when we lowered the basket and let the ashes into the sea water. It was a very dignified ceremony to say the last farewell to our beloved family member. We then returned to the dock. The whole trip took about 90 minutes. Later, they sent the certificate with the GPS coordinates, date and time using a photo from the service as the background. We found other services during the web search and were glad we chose Prince Charter, LLC over others. Thank you, Donna, Jimmy and Gabriel, for your services and your professionalism during the trip. We highly recommend Prince Charter LLC for the ash scattering service.

The Burial at Sea ceremony was touching and better than I expected. The description given when the reservation was made was the service that was provided. It was perfect. It was easy to book. Donna made it easy to make the reservation and Captain Mario and Deckhand, Allee were friendly, respectful and made sure that we understood the ceremony. We had a playlist and appreciated the ability to play music that was meaningful to our family. I highly recommend Prince Charters!

I would like to thank Donna for helping me with planning this wonderful sisterhood trip also thanks to a amazing Captain Gary!!! Who joined in with laughter and awesome conversation. We will definitely be coming back again in the near future.

What to do when it's my Husband's birthday and I planned an outdoor party at the beach. But it's gonna rain ... I have used prince charters before and had heard they recently added a larger boat to their fleet so I called to see if they could accommodate. Communication was excellent and the next thing you know I booked our trip and told our friends to meet at the dock. The ride was beautiful and peaceful. "Journey" is the name for this new addition to their fleet. There's a ton of seating room both inside and out and it's super clean. Captain Doug and his crew were great hosts. Really great people that make you feel like family.

This was a huge win on Yelp for me! These good reviews about Prince Charters did not lie. We had the best experience!! I booked their Luxury Yacht for 30 people for my husband's birthday and everyone had the best time. We left the dock at 6p and did a 2.5 hour ride and it went by so fast, I wish I just would've went with the 3 hour ride but none the less it was so beautiful seeing the sunset from the boat. Yes it gets cold at night BUT they even offer blankets and that was such a nice touch. Donna helped me with all my questions and booking. She was so sweet and made sure everything was good to go prior to the day of our charter. The captain and crew were AWESOME! Bartender was great. For the price of everything this was way better and a lot more intimate than doing a party at home. Our friends were so impressed and my husband absolutely loved it. We will definitely book another charter in the future.

Captain Robert and mate Margo were absolutely perfect for our father's ash scattering. We had worries of having to share a boat with other families, or not having a good service to honor our dad when we started looking for a charter. However, Prince Charters has been professional and provided exceptional service since the moment I emailed asking questions. The Alexandria is a beautiful boat, and we couldn't be more grateful and happy with their crew and service. They were kind, and courteous the entire time and made our intimate ceremony a good memory.
