Private moment
A Proposal at Sea
The setting does the work — we plan everything invisibly so the moment belongs to the two of you.
The proposal at sea is one of the most rewarding things the office plans, and one of the few where every detail must be invisible. The whole point is that the partner being proposed to should believe, until the moment itself, that the day is a normal sundown charter for two.
We plan the welcome drink to include their preferred non-champagne option in case they don't drink. The chef is briefed on dietary preferences without questions at the table. A photographer sits on a small tender at a discreet distance — the partner won't see them; they'll get the photographs anyway. The anchorage is chosen for the wind that evening, usually the lee of Es Vedrà. The moment itself — and the words — are entirely yours.

- 04A specific anchorage chosen for the wind that evening (almost always the lee of Es Vedrà)
- 05A pre-paired playlist with a single song queued for the moment of your choosing
- 06A celebration bottle and small wrapped gift held in the galley until you signal
- 07Crew briefed to step off the aft deck during the moment, then reappear quietly when you signal

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
27.0 mAya One
27m Leopard 90 — sport-yacht performance with a flybridge that runs the full length of the upper deck. 27 knots cruise on triple MTUs, three doubles plus a twin, full crew of three. The fastest hull in the larger fleet and the most generous toy package: two seabobs, two paddleboards, a jet ski.
19.8 mJuliet
65ft Princess sport yacht. British build, teak cockpit, 28 knots without effort. The right boat for Formentera-and-back days with ten guests, three cabins below deck for those who stay overnight.
15.5 mVibe (Canados 49 Gladiator)
15.5m Canados Gladiator with Seakeeper stabiliser and triple Mercury Racing outboards. Twelve guests, two cabins below, 32 knots cruise. The bridge boat in the fleet — bigger than a dayboat, faster than a flybridge, calm at anchor in any swell.
13.0 mCayman 40 (Caiman)
Italian-built 13m dayboat with T-top, walk-around layout, JL Audio system and A/C inside. Eleven guests, twin cabins below for the rare overnight, captain included. The widest dayboat in the fleet — 4.2m of beam buys you four sun pads and a proper dining cockpit.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
How do you keep it a surprise?+
All communication goes through a single email you nominate, not your shared one. No confirmation arrives by post; the office holds everything until the morning of the charter. The driver is briefed to say only that he is taking you to a sunset dinner, not the marina.
What if my partner doesn't drink?+
Tell us in the brief. The welcome drink will include their preferred non-champagne option without making a thing of it. The celebration bottle remains in the galley if not needed.
What does the photographer do, exactly?+
Sits on a small support tender at a discreet distance. They photograph the moment from a long lens, then come on board once you signal for the formal photographs. Most partners only notice the photographer after the moment.
What if the answer is no?+
Then it is still a beautiful evening. The crew continues serving, the boat returns at the time you choose, and no one in the office will ever mention the charter again. You have our discretion in writing.
