Experience the ultimate romantic gesture with a boat proposal built to manage the details so you can focus on the moment: a curated bouquet, a bottle of champagne (with a non‑alcoholic option), and a personalized playlist, followed optionally by a dockside toast that brings loved ones together to celebrate.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE MOMENT

A Proposal Set Up to Be Remembered

The core package centers on the proposal itself: your partner receives a bouquet, the crew supplies a celebratory bottle of Mailly Grand Cru (or a nonalcoholic option), and a Bluetooth Spotify playlist sets the soundtrack for the moment.

THE CELEBRATION

Dockside Toast to Include Family & Friends

Add the Dockside Toast to bring loved ones into the celebration: a concierge meets guests at the dock, a champagne toast awaits on return, and a grazing board plus a selection of beer, wine, and spiked seltzers are provided for the initial group.

THE PLANNING

A High‑touch, Coordinated Experience

Sea Philly handles extensive planning and communication—coordinating with photographers, arranging the timing, and outfitting the boat with high‑end acrylic stemware, soft beverages, ice, and a speaker to keep the moment seamless.

What the day feels like

How It Feels

This is a compressed, high‑intent experience: a short cruise centered on a single orchestrated moment—music cued, flowers in hand, champagne chilled—followed, if you choose, by the controlled bustle of a dockside reunion where family and friends join the celebration.
