“We recently chartered a beautiful boat for a family memorial at sea for our father. This was an emotional time for our family and we very much appreciate the warmth and kindness of Captain Lovell and Alicia Franssen during our voyage for the day. Captain Lovell was confident and expertly moved the 70' boat out of the tight corners of the marina, a clearly experienced Captain! Alicia had a beautiful display of lunch and snacks all ready for us. She catered to our requests and made sure we all had what we needed to make our experience so wonderful. Captain Lovell took time to explain our route and brought us to the exact location of where we wanted to lay the ashes. They were both respectful and professional and made this day extra special for us. Lesa Haynes was so helpful with the reservation and always great on the phone with me from day one. Everything was communicated to us with every detail. Great people, great company, highly recommended.
Thank you all,”
