From dating to engaged during a luxurious sunset sail
Blue waters and the San Diego skyline are the perfect setting to ask, "Will you marry me?"
With our captain and crew at your service, Champagne, a customized playlist, and a professional photographer posing as "crew," your proposal will be met with a resounding YES! Read the story of a recent proposal aboard the Riviera to get a feel for the luxury, service, and attention to detail that we provide.
What to expect when you sail with us
It’s all in the details. The "perfect proposal" aboard a yacht takes careful planning. However, before deciding on a sail date, let's discuss your vision. You've imagined how it will look and rehearsed what you want to say. Now let us take the wheel.
We will plan for the best weather window, sunset times, and sail route. We'll prepare everything from the perfect playlist to your favorite champagne. One of Captain Paul Barnett's professional photographers will pose as "crew" to document the moment you both decide to spend the rest of your lives together.
As with all our cruises, you'll choose your menu from options which may include hand-crafted charcuterie boards made from fresh, seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients and custom cocktails guaranteed to delight your palette. Please share any dietary restrictions or food allergies so that we may plan accordingly.
