Romantic Yacht Charters & Proposals in Fort Lauderdale

Proposals on a yacht

Timing

Board ninety minutes before sunset; the question goes at anchor with the light behind you.

The photographer

Booked as an add-on and placed on the flybridge before you board; the crew knows the cue.

The spot

Anchored at Lake Sylvia facing west over the Las Olas Isles, the quietest water in Fort Lauderdale at that hour.

Date-night cruises

Two hours, a bottle on ice and the skyline: about $825 on a boat under 40 ft with captain, and the same route the proposal takes. The sunset times are on sunset cruises.

Couples’ day trips

A full day south to the Haulover sandbar, a swim off the beach and lunch at a dock-and-dine restaurant on the Intracoastal; the day rate is on day yacht rentals.

What a romantic charter costs

The boat is the price: about $825 for two hours and $850 for three on a boat under 40 ft, $1,050 for three hours on a 40 to 54 ft yacht with a saloon and a flybridge, captain and fuel added at checkout. The photographer, the chef and the flowers are each a line on the booking, chosen when you book and set up before you arrive.

Overnight for two

The cruise, then a cabin, then breakfast on deck, on overnight yacht stays. Everything else a couple asks is on Fort Lauderdale yacht events.
