Moonlight Cruise

Descrizione

The Experience

A romantic sunset mini-cruise along the Portofino coastline. After boarding, you sail among some of the most enchanting bays of the Italian Riviera, with spectacular views over the sea and the small villages of the coast. At the most romantic point of the journey, the boat slows down until it comes to a complete stop, leaving space for the most important moment of the evening: the marriage proposal. After the proposal, a bottle of champagne will be waiting on board to celebrate and toast to the beginning of your future together.

The evening continues with your arrival at a refined seaside restaurant for a romantic dinner for two. At the end of the dinner, your private boat will take you back to Portofino with an evocative evening cruise along the illuminated coastline. Upon your arrival in Portofino, the lady will receive a bouquet crafted with the typical flowers of the Italian Riviera — an elegant gift to celebrate the beginning of a new chapter of your story.

An exclusive experience that combines the charm of the Italian Riviera, the magic of a marriage proposal at sea and the timeless romance of Portofino.

Enhance Your Proposal

Many couples add an organised transfer from their hotel in Santa Margherita Ligure or Genoa, ensuring arrival without the stress of navigating the winding coastal roads. A private photographer is the second most requested addition—capturing the moment your partner says yes against that legendary backdrop, images you will frame for decades. Consider a live violinist on the boat as you cruise past the coloured houses, or elevate the dinner with a Chef d’Autore tasting menu. The Golden Champagne Ritual adds 23-karat gold flakes to your toast; a Signature Scent Moment anchors the memory to a bespoke fragrance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What time does the boat depart, and how long is the cruise?
Departure is timed roughly ninety minutes before sunset so you reach the proposal location as the light softens. The entire experience—boat ride, proposal, dinner—lasts approximately three hours.

Where exactly will the proposal take place?
Our team selects a poetic, iconic spot along the Portofino coastline—often a secluded cove or a viewpoint beneath the pines. The precise location depends on sea conditions and your preferences, discussed during planning.

Can the restaurant accommodate dietary requirements?
Yes. When you book, share any allergies or preferences and the kitchen will prepare a tailored menu. Vegetarian, gluten-free and other requests are standard.

What happens if the weather turns bad?
Portofino’s microclimate is generally mild, but if conditions are unsafe for boating, we reschedule or adapt the experience to an equally romantic indoor alternative—your coordinator will keep you informed.

How do I get to Portofino from Genoa or Milan?
Portofino is about forty minutes by car from Genoa and two hours from Milan. We recommend our Organised Transfer add-on for a stress-free arrival; alternatively, trains run to Santa Margherita Ligure, a short taxi ride from the harbour.
