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. 💛🌊

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.

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!!!

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.
