Ashes Scattered At Sea

Dave and his crew made it possible for us to give my brother Graham the send off that he would have wanted. We sailed out into the Solent and had a lovely, family ceremony. Everything was perfect. The boat is comfortable, has an excellent sound system for personal music choices and, most importantly, Dave and his crew were highly professional, in a very friendly and discreet way. Very highly recommended

Just want to say thank you, for doing my dads ashes with you. It was a sad day, at least the weather held off

Five years ago my Father died. I live overseas and as a lot of things were going on at the time, I planned on going back the following year to spread his ashes. Unfortunately Covid hit and there was no traveling and then I became very ill and can no longer travel. The thought of my father sitting on the shelf at the funeral home upset me greatly My daughter offered to go in my place so I went on line and found Dave Stenson, the owner of Dointhedo boat hire.From the beginning Dave was wonderful, he understood completely what I wanted, it was only an intimate gathering, but we were able to play music and make little speeches. Everyone who went said it went very well, they weren’t rushed and after watching the video, I think my Dad would have been very pleased. Thank you Dave for handling everything and making it a beautiful send off.

We booked with Dave to scatter my late fathers ashes back in June 2023. Dave’s compassionate nature and attention to detail we’re beyond all expectations. The boat was meticulously clean and the occasion went without a hitch. If you plan on scattering beloved ones ashes at sea then I recommend Dave and Allen with no hesitation.

I cannot give praise high enough for the kindness and professionalism that we have received from Dave and his crew on the Dointhedo. From the prompt and comprehensive replies to our preliminary emails through to the day we scattered the ashes. The boat and the crew were absolutely perfect for just such an occasion. The boat it was spotless, comfortable and smooth. There was the added bonus of a nice cup of tea/coffee and an on-board toilet. Dave had taken the time and trouble to discuss and locate the perfect spot for our requirements and showed just the right balance between direction and discretion on such a sensitive day. Thank you so much.

Just to say thank you so much for a truly seamless service from start to finish. You both showed so much compassion and care whilst we were spreading my Dad’s ashes in the Solent which was greatly appreciated by us all. The journey was very relaxed and stress free and despite the sad occasion, we enjoyed our time on the boat. Huge thank you.

Dave and the crew are the best when it comes to accommodating your personal needs for your occasion . Helpful, profesional and by all means knows how to make your booking even more special. 10/10
