Honor Your Loved One With A Burial At Sea
We have compassion and help families by creating a space for healing on the ocean.
Our Respectful, Reflective Scattering of Ashes in the San Diego Waters Gives Families a Safe Space for Healing and Reflection
There are many reasons people choose a burial at sea, a love of the ocean and being left to rest in a beautiful place to be remembered is often on top of the list.
Other reasons family considers a burial at sea:
- Expensive cemetery plots
- The formality and expense of funerals – Did you know a traditional funeral can set families back more than $20,000?
- A memorial that’s truly memorable
Scattering of ashes into the everlasting cycles of the ocean is an alternative option that makes sense for many reasons.
Cruise San Diego is Family Owned and Operated
Our boat, the Ohana, leaves from Mission Bay and can accommodate groups from 1 to 100 people. You can join us for a group scattering, where each group has a dedicated amount of time with the captain at the bow of the boat. Or you can reserve the entire boat for yourself with your own private officiant.
Our ash scattering ceremonies are performed from a variety of locations off the San Diego Coast. If you have a specific location to scatter we would be pleased to accommodate your wishes.
A memorial service can be performed and flowers placed in the water. After the ash scattering, the exact GPS position of the burial ceremony is recorded. This information is used to complete the memorial certificate which will be sent to the family.
Trust us to help your family with closure by scattering their cremated remains off the coast of San Diego.

A Great Day on Ohana!
This past weekend we hosted the main event for our reunion on the Ohana in San Diego. Anyone who knows San Diego knows that there are a ton of boat charter companies. I haven' tired them all but I have used a few over the years - none compared to the Ohana. The boat is clean and in very good repair but it is the staff that sets it apart. The level of attention to customer satisfaction from the time of our first phone call right on through the end of the event was astounding. Next time, I won't need to shop. I'll be back with Ohana and crew.

Everyone had nothing but amazing things to say about the party, food, and staff! The highlights were the views, friendly staff, the bar, and honestly everything!

Highly Recommend!
During our wedding weekend, we decided to host a welcome dinner with Cruise SD, the day before our wedding. It was a dream. Derwayne, Captain Mike, and the rest of the crew were so kind. If you are looking for a cruise that is family-owned, kind, down to earth, and flexible, look no further.

Weekend Highlight!
We booked the entire Ohana for a 2 hr. sunset cruise for our wedding guests this past weekend. The booking process was excellent. Derwayne was super responsive. We had a lot of questions and he patiently answered them all. The crew was FANTASTIC. They were friendly and fun from the start.
