Marriage Proposal on a Sailboat

Marriage Proposal on a Sailboat

A private sunset over the Mediterranean, for the yes you'll want to remember forever.

1h 30min Private boat Port Garraf
The perfect setting for the "yes"

Can a captain really marry you?

Spanish law (Civil Code, article 52) does let a ship's commander authorize a marriage on board — but only in a genuine life-threatening emergency, never for a planned wedding. So we don't stage fake weddings on board.

What we do, and where we really shine, is the proposal: a fully private sailboat, leaving from Port Garraf, with the Mediterranean sunset as the only witness. The real wedding — civil or religious — happens afterwards, on land, as Spanish law requires.

How it works

The excuse

Many couples simply frame it as "an afternoon of sailing" or a birthday gift — your partner doesn't need to know anything until the moment itself.

The timing

We adjust the departure time so you reach the anchoring spot just as the sun starts to set (or at sunrise, if you'd prefer something more low-key).

The ring

We keep it safely on board until the exact moment — you tell us where and when.

The details

A playlist, flowers on board, or a special touch for right after the "yes" — let us know when you book and we'll have it ready.
