We host several surprise proposals every month. Here is what works, what does not, and how we help.
The Classic: Sunset on a Private Boat
Our most-requested setup. A two-hour private cruise, route timed so you are stationary at the best sunset moment. Champagne on ice, rose petals on the bow, music from a small portable speaker. We position the boat away from other tours so it is just the two of you.
Timing
The captain is briefed on the exact moment you want to drop the question. We can dim the engine, position the boat into the wind (so the ring stays in place if you are kneeling), and have the photographer (optional add-on) ready on a parallel boat.
Real Example
One of our recent setups: a couple celebrating their anniversary. The plan was for the boyfriend to propose at sunset, with a friend waiting on a second boat with a drone. We positioned the main boat at exactly the right spot 10 minutes before sunset, and the drone captured the proposal from above. She said yes.
What to Tell Us
The more detail, the better. If your partner is camera-shy, mention it. If they have a food allergy, mention it. If you want a specific song playing, send us the file beforehand. We treat every proposal as a one-off.
Pricing
Our standard 2-hour romantic cruise is €150. Add-ons (flowers, cake, photographer, drone) are quoted per request. The setup itself is included in the booking.
