How to Plan a Proposal on a Yacht in Ibiza — Discreetly
Direct answer
Proposal charters in Ibiza work best as 3-hour sundowner charters in the lee of Es Vedrà. The office plans every detail invisibly: the partner believes it is a normal sundown charter for two until the moment itself. A photographer sits on a discreet support tender; the crew steps off the aft deck during the moment. From around €4,500 all-in including discreet photography.
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.
What the office plans invisibly
- Welcome drinks including a non-champagne option, in case they don't drink
- Chef briefed on the partner's dietary preferences — no questions at the table
- A photographer on a discreet tender, far enough to be invisible, close enough to capture
- A specific anchorage chosen for the wind that evening (almost always the lee of Es Vedrà)
- A pre-paired playlist with a single song queued for the moment of your choosing
- A celebration bottle and small wrapped gift held in the galley until you signal
- Crew briefed to step off the aft deck during the moment, then reappear quietly when you signal
What we leave to the moment
The moment itself. We do not stage it. We do not suggest a script. The host knows their partner better than the office ever will, and the proposal is more powerful for being in the host's own words, at the time the host chooses.
Afterwards
The crew quietly reappears once the host signals. The chef serves the next course. The bottle of champagne gets the small label upgrade that turns it into the celebration bottle. The photographer's tender pulls alongside; the formal photographs happen quickly and end. The boat stays at anchor as long as the couple wants.
Communication and confidentiality
All communication is through a single email address you nominate — never 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.

Frequently asked
- How do you keep the proposal a surprise?
- Single nominated email address for all communication, no postal confirmations, driver briefed to say 'sunset dinner' not 'yacht charter', crew given the brief 48 hours ahead only. The partner is never contacted by the office before or after.
- 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 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.
