Celebration
An Engagement Party at Sea
A short evening with the closest twenty — a string trio on the bow as the boat clears the harbour, sundown at Es Vedrà, a single toast.
An engagement party at sea is one of the most rewarding charters the office plans. The setting compresses the evening into something both grand and intimate — there are no other diners, no other tables, no maître d' clearing plates two seats away. Just the closest twenty, the sea, and a sundown the harbour will remember.
The format we run most often: embark at 17:30, a string trio playing on the bow as the boat clears the harbour, dinner at anchor in the lee of Es Vedrà served by your private chef, a single toast from the father of the bride (we coach against more), the dance floor on the bow from 22:00, back at the marina by 01:00.
The office handles
Quietly,
in the background.
- 01A string trio (we bring our preferred ensemble across from Mallorca if needed) for the cruise out of the harbour
- 02A photographer for ninety minutes from welcome to dessert — kept off the dance floor
- 03The cake — kept secret until dessert, brought aboard from a tender if you'd like the reveal
- 04A second smaller yacht alongside for guests who want to leave early or stay later than the main party
- 05Drivers for each guest from their hotel or villa, with cars on standby for the return
- 06A private fireworks moment at sundown (subject to permits and conditions) — quietly arranged in advance

Suggested yachts
Built for this kind of day.
35.0 mFriendship
115ft Benetti — the flagship of the fleet. Refit in 2019, full-beam master suite, four further guest cabins, and a sundeck built for shaded dining at twelve. A crew of six runs the boat as a household: chef, two stewards, captain, two engineers. Built for weeks aboard, not days.
31.0 mDark Knight
102ft Leopard with twin MTUs, 26 knots flat. Built for owners who'd rather arrive than cruise — Formentera in forty minutes, Mallorca before lunch. Twelve guests across five staterooms; a crew of four who've been aboard since the 2023 refit.
31.0 mLa Romana
Sister hull to Dark Knight, refit 2024. Same Leopard 102 chassis, same twin MTUs — finished in warm teak and cream. Flybridge jacuzzi, foredeck sun pads, a tender lift that handles 4.2m. Quieter at speed than the original.
30.2 mLady KC
99ft Maiora with zero-speed stabilisers — comfortable at anchor in any swell. Flybridge jacuzzi, sun beds, sound system, and a full provisioning package included: seabob, jet ski, paddleboards, drinks. The reliable choice for guests who value stillness over speed.

Questions we hear
Most-asked.
Can we have more than 24 guests?+
Yes — we run two yachts in convoy for 25–48 guests, with the dinner happening simultaneously on both boats and a tender shuttling between them. The office handles all the logistics.
Is a live trio worth it?+
Almost always. The trio on the bow during the cruise out is the small flourish guests remember most. We've quietly tracked this in feedback for years.
Can we have a surprise fireworks moment?+
Yes, subject to local permits and wind conditions. The office arranges everything 14 days in advance through our preferred pyrotechnics partner in Ibiza.
