Our ashes scattering at sea service is a celebration of life and a fitting send-off for those with an affinity with the sea or those that had a special love of St Ives, or Cornwall. This page outlines our Ashes Scattering Service.

How We Scatter Ashes at Sea

We first cruise along to a suitable spot chosen by yourselves or the skipper. After the chosen ceremony, Which can be religious or non religious, the ashes are scattered into the Atlantic Ocean, to be dispersed in a natural manner by the actions of the tides and currents.

Mike 1 (Captain) and Mike 2 (tour guide) were great. Mike 2 was full of information and passionate about the role they do and fun too. He clearly loves his job.
Mike 1 got us there super quick, before the other boats, and bagged us the best spot. We managed to see 5 seals that were out of the water and just chilling. Plenty of others in the sea too. It was fun, informative and a great trip. Thanks Mike 1 and Mike 2. 100% recommend this trip.

From the lovely lady who booked us on to the two mikes who took us out the customer service was astounding!!! We had a lovely ride out to seal island and Mike was giving the kids some great info on the seals (closest to bears did you know 😉) perfect end to our mini break in Cornwall. Thank you all at Dolly P !!

Trip started really well with a super friendly seal in the harbour and just got better.Can really tell this is more then a business with the two Mikes as they care about the seals greatly!

we cant recommend the staff and crew from the Dolly P enough, we needed to get to a stranded yacht in the bay this morning and conditions were not good! the professional boat handling shown not only to get us on the boat but then off again in worsening conditions was amazing, we can't thankyou enough

Had a lovely boat trip very friendly and professional , my daughter was scared beforehand but once On she loved it and stood up the whole way ..loved it ! Even though it was rainy and grey it was still a great boat trip to see the seals !

We went along at the end of a sweltering day for my partner's birthday (admittedly it was me that was totally psyched about seeing seals) and had a fabulous time. Apparently the BDMLR are running courses on marine life rescue - which Mike (who runs/acts as the guide for Dolly P) also does in his spare time. He rescues seals, dolphins and whales on his days off... I think even my partner fell in love with him just a teeny bit!!
