Ash Scattering at Sea,
Port Phillip Bay & Bass Strait

A private and respectful farewell aboard our 41ft vessel, offering a peaceful setting to honour your loved one.

Beautiful ash scattering ceremony in Port Phillip Bay

We recently chose Sorrento Fishing Charters for an ash scattering ceremony in Port Phillip Bay, and we couldn't have asked for a more beautiful, respectful experience.
From the moment we arrived, everything had been thoughtfully prepared. The fresh flowers and elegant setup made the ceremony feel incredibly special and gave our loved one the peaceful farewell they deserved.
The crew were compassionate, professional, and gave us all the time and privacy we needed to say a few words, reflect together, and scatter the ashes in a calm and beautiful setting. Nothing felt rushed, and every detail was handled with genuine care.

If you're looking for an ash scattering service near Melbourne, Port Phillip Bay, or the Mornington Peninsula, I can't recommend Sorrento Fishing Charters highly enough. Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail made an incredibly difficult day feel peaceful, meaningful, and unforgettable.

A beautiful goodbye at sea

The team at Sorrento fishing charters went above and beyond to ensure a wonderful farewell for our mum. The boat was spotlessly clean, a place set up with a tablecloth and container with sea sand to hold the urn and a speaker to play some music.
The team were caring and respectful, gave us privacy when necessary. A wonderful gesture were the cards with the coordinates of where we laid mum to rest . Highly recommend this crew.

THANK YOU

Our farewell at sea was handled with incredible care, professionalism, and respect. From the moment we stepped onboard, everything felt calm, private, and thoughtfully organised. The crew created a peaceful atmosphere and gave us the space we needed, while quietly taking care of every detail.

Being able to say goodbye out on the water was deeply meaningful, and the experience was both comforting and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a more dignified way to farewell our loved one. Truly grateful for such a considerate and compassionate service, thank you Marine & Jules
