When it comes to scattering ashes, you can choose a beautiful location meaningful to your beloved. Either their favorite place or somewhere they always wanted to visit. A perfect resting place.
Scattering ashes in a body of water is a suitable tribute and beautiful farewell for your dearest. However, you may be unsure about the procedure to follow, if you need any permission or how to arrange it. Fortunately for you, we can take care of all the details so you can focus on spending time with your family and friends finding or giving the needed support that the circumstances require.
With our Toronto Ash Scattering Service at Sea, we aim to simplify the process so you can have more time to focus on saying your final goodbye to your beloved.
When it comes to ash scattering at sea, you can choose to simply transport your beloved ashes in a regular urn and then pour them from the urn into the sea. However, you should plan and keep in mind the direction of the wind because it can get messy.
On the other hand, if you opt for releasing the whole urn into the water, there are many biodegradable urns you can choose from. These quickly dissolve into the water as they are made from biodegradable or recycled materials. Water urns come in various shapes, such as flowers, turtles, seashells and geometrical figures. Besides helping the environment, the biodegradable water urns have a large capacity and are easy to transport.
Whether you choose a religious memorial service or a ceremony amongst family and friends, arrangements are required You can personally make these arrangements or hire a professional to assist you. In a religious memorial service, a clergy-like individual may officiate the ritual. While on other occasions it may be a family member or a friend who lovingly remembers the life of the deceased. Either way, you may choose the ceremony that what best honours the memory of your loved one.
At Gone Sailing Adventures, we offer the maritime service where our luxury certified yacht will make a figure eight, which represents infinity. First, counterclockwise symbolizing the recollection of your loved one moments in life. And then clockwise, representing that life continues moving forward. Later, when the ashes are scattered, the bell will ring eight times, signifying the end of the watch, honoring the departure of your dearest.
Gone Sailing Adventures is proud to be associated with these premier organizations representing the best in the business.

When considering chartering a yacht in Canada, we know you have many options. Some of these options look super exciting and at ridiculously great prices. Recent trends in the industry have opened the door for many unqualified individuals to purchase boats and offer charter services to the unsuspecting public. It’s easy to create a website and even easier to just list a boat on sites such as Facebook Marketplace, Kijiji, Getmyboat, Boat Setter and many others.
Unfortunately, many of these operators are NOT licensed, insured or qualified to accept your trust on the water.
In order to be licensed and insured a number of items MUST be in place. Listed are just a few.
Over the last few years there have been a number of deaths and even more accidents resulting from these types of operators. Be safe and know who you are getting on a boat with. All licensed operators should willingly display their credentials, and most are members of the Passenger & Commercial Vessel Association (PCVA).
