Captain Maritime Operations provides a top-rated memorial service that brings families together on the Gulf waters for a final farewell. This isn't your typical charter - it's a solemn tribute designed for veterans and civilians alike, conducted with the respect and care your family deserves during this difficult time.
Your ceremony takes place aboard our well-maintained vessel, designed to accommodate up to 6 family members and close friends. We'll depart from Redington Shores and head to the appropriate waters where the ceremony can be conducted according to federal regulations. The captain understands the weight of this moment and maintains a respectful atmosphere throughout the entire service. You'll have privacy to share memories, say prayers, or hold whatever ceremony feels right for your family. The boat provides a stable platform even for those who might not be comfortable on the water, and we'll take care of all the maritime requirements so you can focus on honoring your loved one. Plan on being out for about 2-3 hours total, giving everyone time to process and reflect as we make our way back to shore.
Federal law requires that burial at sea ceremonies take place at least three nautical miles from shore, and we know exactly where to go to meet these requirements while providing the most peaceful setting possible. We handle all the necessary paperwork and coordinate with the appropriate authorities. The cremated remains must be in a biodegradable container or scattered directly - no plastic urns or non-degradable materials allowed. Our captain has years of experience conducting these ceremonies and will guide you through the process with sensitivity. We recommend bringing flowers or wreaths if you'd like, but make sure they're biodegradable too. The timing usually works best during calmer morning hours when the Gulf is more settled, though we can accommodate different schedules based on your family's needs.
The waters off Redington Shores offer some of the most peaceful conditions on Florida's west coast for this type of ceremony. We're dealing with the Gulf of Mexico here, which tends to be calmer than Atlantic waters, especially during morning hours. The depth where we conduct services ranges from 60 to 100 feet, providing a proper resting place according to maritime tradition. These waters are home to diverse marine life, from dolphins that sometimes appear during ceremonies to sea birds that seem to understand the solemnity of the moment. The Gulf's warm, clear waters and consistent currents ensure that your loved one's remains will be properly dispersed according to natural patterns. Weather can change quickly on the Gulf, so we monitor conditions closely and will reschedule if necessary to ensure everyone's safety and comfort during this important moment.

Maritime Operations has built a reputation for handling these ceremonies with the utmost care and professionalism.
