Celebration of life cruises
For many of us, the sea holds a deep personal connection. Along Poole Harbour and the Dorset coastline, the water becomes a place for quiet reflection and meaningful goodbyes. Our 1938 vintage motor yacht, Dorset Queen, offers a private and dignified setting for wakes, funerals, memorial cruises and the scattering of ashes, giving families and friends the space to come together and honour a loved one’s life in a private, beautiful setting.

We offer a calm and respectful setting for ash or flower scatterings, which take place from the upper deck of the Dorset Queen. Over the years we have supported many families through these moments, and we understand the need for compassion, patience and sensitivity at such a difficult time.
