California Coastal Calm, delivered by a savvy New Yorker
Hi, I'm Jess, and I built one of New York Harbor’s most successful (and only female-owned) charter businesses by delivering one engagement at a time, with 376 proposals hosted on my private sailboats over six years.
In the mix there were also many spectacular first dates, wedding anniversaries spanning various decade markers, bountiful baby showers, and intimate family reunions. I’ve seen it all – and done it all in the private charter world – operating within the elevated class (and undeniable chaos) that is NYC.
I moved to San Diego and immediately recognized the need for a luxury cruising experience that delivers against the backdrop of quiet, thoughtful serenity.
Once again I wanted to channel my passion for boating with my passion for curating memorable private moments for couples to enjoy the peace and undeniable beauty of being on the water together.
And so I created
There is nothing like ASKING the question OF A LIFETIME while enjoying the serenity of the sea
Posh Proposals & EXCEPTIONAL Engagements
A white-glove dinner at the city’s best restaurant? A stunning view from San Diego's Sunset Cliffs? These proposals have been done on repeat.
Why not combine them into a tailored proposal experience with a curated, private cruise that offers 360-degree views of the bay and city, complete with chilled champagne, a perfectly plated charcuterie, elegant flatware and Italian linens. And special, memorable touches throughout.
Now that's Meant to Be.
Thoughtfully Unique Private Cruises in San Diego
Set Apart From a Sea of Look-Alikes
San Diego has no shortage of boats for hire. But very few experiences are designed with soul. Our yacht is private and exclusive — never crowded, never rushed. Every detail, from the flow of the cruise to the placement of the champagne, is curated to create a seamless atmosphere of calm luxury.
You don’t feel like a passenger. You feel like the host of something extraordinary. This is for the partner who wants to do it right. For the one who understands that setting matters. For the one who knows that memories deserve intention.
"IT WAS BEYOND ANYTHING I IMAGINED"
Our proposal felt intimate, effortless, and completely us. Every detail was perfect — from the quiet cruise to the hidden flowers waiting after she said yes. It wasn’t just a boat ride. It was the best day of our lives.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Luxury doesn’t have to be loud.
It’s found in thoughtful touches that linger in memory long after the sun sets. In the quiet moments between skyline views. In the way everything simply flows.
We believe a proposal should feel deeply personal. A date should feel intentionally planned. And a yacht experience should feel nothing like the masses. This is elevated, without trying too hard. Refined, without feeling rigid. Comprehensive, without feeling overwhelming.
The ELEVATED ENGAGEMENT
Inclusive & Exclusive
A private yacht. A hidden ring. Champagne waiting on ice. We help you plan a proposal that feels cinematic — without feeling staged. From your arrival aboard to the exact moment you drop to one knee, every detail of your cruise is carefully considered so the experience feels effortless and entirely your own.
Because this isn’t just a proposal.
It’s the beginning of your family story.
