Our trip with Captain Wes was perfect! We highly recommend him for any of your boating needs. Our trip was to scatter my mom’s ashes into the ocean and it could not have been any better. Next time we’ll just hire him for a day time trip or sunset cruise. Thank you so very much for your hospitality and for also allowing our dog Jackson to be your Co-Captain 😊😎

Trip: Ash Scattering/Burial At Sea

Response from Wes:

Thank you Sonia, it was a pleasure having you aboard, too bad the sunset was sort of a wash out. Give Jackson a pat on the head and cookie for me.

Captain Wes was professional, kind and gracious as he took us to scatter the ashes of our loved one. He gave us notification of the weather conditions, made some suggestions a head of time and was punctual. Thank you for your kindness, Captain Wes!

Our family chartered a boat with Wes to fulfill my mom's final wish of having her ashes spread over the ocean she loved near her home in Ocean View, Maryland. Wes made it more beautiful than we ever could have imagined.

From the moment we left the marina, we knew we were in good hands. The boat was comfortable, and Wes took us well past the three-mile mark to find the perfect place. He never rushed us, gave us all the time we needed to say our goodbyes, and treated the moment with genuine kindness and respect.

What stood out even more was how wonderful he was with my mom's three grandchildren, ages 8, 10, and 11. He helped them feel comfortable, included, and part of such an important family moment. Thanks to him, what could have been an overwhelming day became a memory they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

As if the day couldn't have been any more special, we were blessed with calm seas, a breathtaking sunset, and a pod of dolphins that surrounded the boat on the way back to the marina, coming within inches of the sides as they played. It felt truly magical and was the perfect ending to a day of honoring someone we loved so deeply.

We will never forget this experience, and we can't thank Wes enough for his compassion, professionalism, and the care he showed our family. We highly recommend him for any charter service out to sea.
