The Wejack is steeped in pedigree and history, and there is a reason the Gloucester captains call her Legendary! The Wejack is US Coast Guard Inspected and Certified to 46 passengers out to 20 Nautical Miles from safe harbor, which covers some of the most productive fishing grounds in North America, including Jeffreys Ledge and Stellwagen Bank.

CELEBRATIONS OF LIFE YACHT CHARTER

These types of yacht charters are deeply meaningful for families and friends processing grief and celebrating the life of a loved one. Sometimes called burials at sea or ash scatterings, we can help families honor and celebrate a loved one, and deliver the ashes of a loved one to be scattered and joined with the sea. The Wejack is not only a warm and welcoming vessel to warm your soul, she is a sturdy & stable yacht designed with offshore capabilities for such trips. Our USCG licensed Captain and trained crew are compassionate, respectful, and sensitive to families, as we’ve been there, and understand the sea has healing qualities. Full Bar & Catering.
