A proposal on a boat works for one simple reason: there is nowhere for the moment to be interrupted. No restaurant tables around you, no beach crowd walking through the frame — just the two of you (or your closest people), a crew that knows exactly when to disappear, and a sunset you can time to the minute. Everything is arranged with you alone over WhatsApp, so from your partner's side it looks like you booked an ordinary sunset cruise.
The Ready Proposal Setup — $950 All-In
Our core proposal product is the private 4-hour Bali coastal cruise in the sunset slot (approx. 14:30–18:30) plus the yacht decoration add-on. Whole-boat prices in USD — never per person:

| Accura 39 — 4 h sunset cruise | $750 | 12 m private yacht, up to 8 guests, crew and fuel included |

| Proposal setup total | $950 | The whole yacht, dressed and ready, soft drinks and welcome fruits on board |
| + Drone photo & video (optional) | $350 | The ring moment filmed from the air at golden hour, edited reel — total $1,300 |
Every charter includes crew, fuel, soft drinks, welcome fruits, snorkel gear and safety equipment. Want something we haven't listed? Tell us your idea on WhatsApp and we'll see what the crew can arrange.
Proposal Ideas That Work on a Yacht
Classic sunset-deck proposal
Just the two of you on the Accura 39. The deck is dressed with flowers and balloons before boarding, the cruise feels like a normal sunset trip, and as the sun touches the water you're on the bow with the bouquet and the cake waiting. $950 all-in.
Drone-reveal proposal
Add the $350 drone package and the operator keeps the drone up through golden hour, so the moment you kneel is filmed from above with the whole coastline behind you. You get an edited reel — the one part of the day you can't re-shoot. From $1,300 total.
The "friends on board" surprise
Your friends or family board first and pose as other guests enjoying the cruise — or stay hidden on the bow. After the yes, they step out and the cruise turns into a celebration. Up to 8 on the Accura 39, more on a bigger yacht.
Anniversary re-proposal
Ten years in and asking again. Same setup — private yacht, romantic decoration, sunset timing — without the secrecy if you'd rather plan it together. An earlier snorkel stop in calm water is included in every charter if you want a fuller afternoon.
In every scenario the crew is briefed in advance: they know when to be invisible, when the decoration goes up and when you'll give the signal. Soft drinks and welcome fruits are on board as standard.
Pick the Yacht for Your Proposal
All three work for a proposal — the choice is really about who's coming. Prices are for the whole yacht, 4-hour sunset coastal cruise:
| Yacht | Guests | Why for a proposal | 4 h cruise |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accura 39 | up to 8 | Intimate — just the two of you, or a few friends hiding on the bow | $750 |
| Accura 48 | up to 12 | Refined interiors and more deck space for a family surprise | $1,300 |
| Accura 55 — flagship | up to 17 | Proposal + party with everyone aboard; add a DJ with equipment for $400 | $1,700 |
Package math — boat + decoration (+ drone)
| Yacht | Cruise + decoration ($200) | With drone video (+$350) |
|---|---|---|
| Accura 39 | $950 | $1,300 |
| Accura 48 | $1,500 | $1,850 |
| Accura 55 — flagship | $1,900 | $2,250 |
Full fleet details and longer routes are on the charter rates page. Add-ons are confirmed at booking as separate lines in your quote.
How the Sunset Proposal Cruise Runs
A sample 4-hour timeline from Serangan harbour (Dermaga apung, Serangan, Denpasar) — we shift it by season so the moment lands at the actual sunset:
- 14:15 — you arrive at Serangan; the decoration is already set, or goes up discreetly while your partner is shown around the yacht.
- 14:30 — cast off and cruise the Bali coast with music, soft drinks and welcome fruits.
- 15:30 — optional swim or snorkel stop in calm water — it keeps the afternoon feeling like a normal cruise.
- 17:15 — golden hour begins; the drone goes up if booked, the crew quietly clears the deck.
- ~18:00 — sunset: the question, the ring, the yes.
- 18:30 — back at the dock, celebrating; optional private transfer to your hotel.
Sunset falls at about 6:05–6:20 pm from May to November and closer to 6:45 pm in January and February, so we fine-tune your departure when we confirm the date.
How Booking Works — and How the Secret Stays Safe
Message us on WhatsApp
Send the date, guest count and your idea with the [PROPOSAL] tag. We reply the same day with the yacht, the timing and a line-by-line quote — to your phone only.
We plan the surprise together
Decoration style, where you'll stand, the signal for the crew, who's hiding where — all agreed in the same private chat. Nothing about the proposal appears anywhere your partner might see.
50% deposit confirms the date
The rest is settled around the charter. Cancellation is free up to 48 hours before departure; inside 48 hours the deposit is non-refundable.
Weather call, made early
If the captain judges the sea unsafe, you choose: reschedule or refund. For a proposal this is the clause that matters — the date moves quietly through WhatsApp and the secret stays intact.
On the day, it's just a cruise
Your partner sees a sunset cruise booking and a crew welcoming you aboard. Everything else — the flowers, the bouquet, the cake, the timing — is already handled.
Getting to the boat: every charter departs from Serangan harbour, and a private transfer from your hotel can be added from $50 — car or premium Alphard, priced by area and vehicle.
