Sail Channel Islands Capt. Dan Learn to Sail with Capt. Dan

 

Funerals at Sea

Captain Dan is also Chaplain Dan. Though many cruises are strictly for fun and entertainment, we carry on the most serious business we humans know – saying the final good-bye to loved ones and friends.

Here, on the bosom of the Pacific, we lay to rest the cremated remains of those closest in funerals at sea. It is a somber time, but for almost every family, it is a time of great beauty, a time for contemplation in the silence of the sea as we sail silently from Ventura Harbor into the Santa Barbara Channel.

At your behest, I can act as your chaplain or – as most families do – you can perform your service entirely on your own. I’ll navigate and or officiate as you choose.

We can take up to four people on our smaller yacht and up to six on Sancerre, our Jeanneau 46. If you have more than that or you think some people would rather stay ashore, we can hold the ceremony near a promontory ashore. Click here for more information.
