Why choose a sailboat for your marriage proposal?

Barcelona has beautiful corners, but none offers the intimacy and romance of a boat sailing exclusively for the two of you. Exclusive romantic experiences at sea to create a moment that will last a lifetime.

Absolute Privacy

No interruptions, no crowds. Just the two of you, the skipper (who will remain discreet at all times) and the open Mediterranean Sea.

The Perfect Setting

Barcelona's skyline lit up or the sun setting behind Montjuïc create an unrivalled photographic backdrop for the big moment.

Tailored Details

From your favourite song playing in the background to a toast with the best champagne right after the "Yes!". All planned for the two of you.

Sunset Proposal

The Mediterranean "golden hour" is the most romantic time of day. We coordinate the proposal with the sunset for the perfect light.

The Moment Immortalised

Professional photographer disguised as crew to capture the surprise without your partner suspecting a thing.

Secret Organisation

All communication is with you alone. The skipper knows the plan and acts completely naturally until the agreed moment.

Celebration on Board!

Toast with champagne and sail back as newly engaged. The journey back to port is the beginning of your next great journey together!

"The skipper stopped the sailboat just as the sun touched the horizon. She was crying with emotion. They coordinated everything perfectly — I just had to take out the ring. The most beautiful moment of my life."

— Jordi M.

Frequently Asked Questions about Marriage Proposals on a Boat

Of course! We have a Bluetooth sound system on board so your playlist or special song can play at the exact moment of the proposal. Tell us what it is and we'll coordinate everything so it starts at the precise instant.

If sailing conditions are not safe, we prioritise your experience by offering a free date change or a full refund. We want your day to be perfect and we don't sail if conditions don't allow it. If we don't sail, you don't pay.

Our skippers are experts in hospitality and discretion. They stay at the helm, leaving the entire bow area or the central cockpit table completely free for the two of you. The skipper knows exactly when to give you space and only intervenes if necessary for navigation safety.

All booking communication is exclusively with you. We don't send any kind of confirmation, email or message to your partner. The skipper is also briefed on the plan and will act completely normally until the agreed moment. The surprise is guaranteed!

Yes, we can coordinate a professional photographer introduced as part of the crew so your partner doesn't suspect anything. They'll capture the surprise from the best angle. Ask us and we'll recommend photographers with specific experience in on-board proposals.

Sunset is undoubtedly the most chosen and most magical moment. The golden light, Barcelona's horizon and the calm Mediterranean create the perfect setting. In Barcelona, sunset varies between 18:00 in winter and 21:30 in summer — we always time the departure to make the most of the best moment of the day.

We depart from the Olympic Port of Barcelona, Moll de Mestral, berth 1517. Easy to reach by metro (L4, Ciutadella/Vila Olímpica station) or by car. We send you the exact location when the booking is confirmed. We coordinate the "excuse" to bring your partner to the port together.
