Captain Darcy is the only person I would trust to guide a Celebration of Life at sea. As a retired funeral director, I have worked with her professionally, and I have also relied on her personally for the scattering of cremated remains for family and friends.
Every experience with Captain Darcy has been meaningful, peaceful, and beautifully handled. Her personal attention, professionalism, and knowledge of San Diego Bay are exceptional. She makes everyone feel comfortable, explains what to expect, and always adds something special to the journey. I learn something new each time I go out with her.
I recommend Captain Darcy without hesitation. Families are truly in experienced, capable, and caring hands.



We booked Captain Darcy for a boat trip to the mouth of San Diego Bay near Point Loma to memorialize my father who recently passed away. She was very empathetic and kind to me and my family and an amazing boat captain and tour guide. She looked out for our safety and was a great comfort as we paid tribute to my father. Thank you Captain Darcy!
