Descrizione
The Experience
Your marriage proposal in Portofino, Italy unfolds with a private sunset boat journey through the harbour’s painted facades, the Ligurian light turning ochre and terracotta buildings into amber and rose. Kiss Me Italy, with thirty years of Italian expertise, guides you through the narrow inlet where fishermen once moored their catch, the engine’s soft hum mixing with the slap of waves against painted hulls. At a secluded spot chosen for its poetry—perhaps beneath the cliffs where pine trees lean toward the sea—you kneel. The salt air carries the faint scent of wild herbs from the hillside. Afterwards, your table waits at an exclusive restaurant perched above the harbour, champagne chilled, the panorama stretching to the distant headland.

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. With the most popular add-ons, the complete experience is priced at €2500.
Why Kiss Me Italy
For three decades, Kiss Me Italy has orchestrated proposals across the Italian peninsula—from Venetian palazzos to Amalfi terraces. Our bilingual coordinators handle every permit, reservation and contingency so you focus only on the question. Couples from London, Sydney and New York trust us because we know Portofino’s rhythms: which captain navigates the calmest route, which table catches the last light. Every detail is managed; nothing is left to chance.
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.

Daniel –
I wanted to do something truly special for my girlfriend.
Italy wasn’t a random choice: it was our first trip together, where everything began.
That’s why I trusted Alessandra.
I had the idea, she made it real, organizing everything down to the smallest detail.
But the incredible part is that it didn’t feel organized at all.
It felt like being inside a movie: everything natural, spontaneous, yet completely out of the ordinary.
Watching my girlfriend say “wow” at every single moment… that has no price.
You could see it in her eyes, in every little reaction.
I honestly had to hold back tears.
Because the moment was already emotional, but the setting made all the difference.
Thank you for making this moment something unforgettable.
And now… onto planning our wedding.

A night we will remember forever.
The sunset in Portofino, the boat, the dinner by the sea… everything had such an incredible atmosphere.

Thomas Pembroke –
I was extremely nervous, yet at the same time I felt incredibly comfortable.
When I got down on one knee and saw her reaction, I realized I couldn’t have imagined a better place.
And even after the proposal, it didn’t feel like the experience was over: the dinner overlooking the sea, the toast, the atmosphere… everything was so thoughtfully arranged yet felt completely natural that at some point I actually relaxed and truly enjoyed every second of the evening.
I would relive it another thousand times.

I had seen so many marriage proposals in Portofino online, but in the end I chose this experience because it felt the most authentic. And it truly was.
Emotional, elegant and natural at the same time, without that overly touristy or staged feeling that you sometimes find in these kinds of experiences.
We were genuinely moved and will carry that evening in Portofino in our hearts forever.

When I found myself there in Portofino, on a boat at sunset, while he was on one knee asking me to marry him, I understood why everyone talks about this place.
It’s a magical and romantic place, perfect for sharing such a special moment with the person you love.
The organization was impeccable yet discreet, which immediately made us feel their experience and great sensitivity.

There are moments in life you wish you could pause forever. This was one of them. The emotion, the happiness, the feeling of being completely present with the person you love… it was simply unforgettable
Dylan –
An emotional moment in a beautiful setting. Everything was organized perfectly. An incredible experience from beginning to end.
Kevin Chen –
I had looked at several agencies before choosing Kiss Me Italy, and today I can confidently say I made the right choice.
Planning a marriage proposal from the other side of the world isn’t easy, but Alessandra made the entire process simple. Clear communication, no surprises, and great attention to detail.
My fiancée thought we were simply going for a boat ride in Portofino. She had absolutely no idea what was about to happen.
Seeing her reaction when I asked her to marry me is a moment we will never forget.
I would absolutely recommend Kiss Me Italy to anyone looking for something special and authentic in Italy.

I thought the sunset would be the most beautiful part of the evening. I was wrong. The most beautiful moment was looking into his eyes when he got down on one knee. For a few seconds, everything else disappeared, the boat, the sea, the people.
It was just the two of us.
Even now, I still find it hard to put into words how I felt in that moment.
