Premium Private Maritime Memorial Cruise & Sea Scattering Ceremony in Key Biscayne, FL

Boat: Axopar 37 XC, 38 ft, ultra-luxury class Up to 13 guests, private bareboat charter (only your group aboard)

How this charter works: this boat is offered as a bareboat charter. You sign a bareboat agreement with SeaEO Luxury Boat Charters and take charge of the boat for your trip. You choose your own licensed captain, either from SeaEO's list of qualified captains or one you find yourself, and you pay the captain directly. The price here is for the boat; the captain's fee is separate. Up to 13 people may come aboard: you plus 12 guests. Your captain is not counted. SeaEO operates and insures its own boat.

A private burial at sea from Key Biscayne aboard a 38-foot Axopar, heading east from Cape Florida into the open Atlantic.

From Crandon Marina the boat runs east off Key Biscayne to 3 nautical miles from land, roughly 3 to 4 nautical miles from Cape Florida. The scattering happens at least 3 nautical miles from land, as the federal EPA burial-at-sea rule requires, and your captain can file the EPA report for you afterward.

Biscayne National Park begins just south of Key Biscayne, and scattering inside the park needs a separate National Park Service permit, so the captain plans the course to stay north of the park boundary.

You lead the ceremony, or your captain can help guide it: share memories, read a passage or prayer, play a song, then release the ashes together. There is no rush.

Departure time is up to you and the weather. Many families choose late afternoon or near sunset, when the water is often calmer. If anything needs to change after booking, SeaEO will contact you.

Pickup location 4000 Crandon Blvd, Slip 14, Key Biscayne, FL 33149
