A Mediterranean Proposal at Sea aboard The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection
An engagement should be defined by presence, not the stress of travel coordination. This curated experience illustrates how I secure the perfect Mediterranean itinerary, managing the transfers, the suite reservations, and the covert booking details, allowing you to simply step into the moment.
The journey begins with a seamless arrival in Italy, setting a relaxed and effortless tone before you even board the yacht.
A private executive car awaits at FCO Airport, transferring you directly to a reserved suite at J.K. Place Roma, an ultra-discreet boutique townhouse in the heart of the city. That afternoon, a private guided culinary walk through Trastevere , cobblestone streets, crispy suppli, zucchini flowers, regional pasta, local wines, and artisanal gelato , all while bypassing the tourist traps entirely.
A leisurely morning in the city. As the day cools, your dedicated guide leads an exclusive private tour of ancient Rome , bypass the crowds and walk the restricted-access Arena Floor of the Colosseum, standing exactly where gladiators once stood. After the Palatine Hill and Roman Forum, the evening concludes on a private rooftop terrace with aperitifs and panoramic views of the ancient skyline.
A bespoke experience booked at the very start of the voyage, allowing the entire sailing to be spent celebrating as a newly engaged couple.
After breakfast, a private transfer brings you directly to the port , bypass standard terminals and step right aboard. As the yacht sets sail down the Italian coast at sunset, the Ritz-Carlton crew escorts you to an intimate candlelit deck space for the Sea Breeze proposal. Champagne toast. Red roses and confectioneries waiting in the suite.
You wake up anchored off Sorrento as an engaged couple. A seven-hour exclusive charter aboard a luxury Azimut motor yacht , swimming in the Tyrrhenian Sea, exploring the Emerald Grotto at your own pace, a three-course seafood lunch prepared by your private onboard chef as you cruise past the cascading villages of Positano.
Step inside Palermo's culinary traditions through a private cooking experience led by a personal chef. Ingredient selection at a historic market, then prepare and enjoy a Sicilian menu rooted in family recipes and contemporary techniques , served as a leisurely lunch in the chef's private home.
Tender ashore to explore the ancient Greek theater of Taormina. A private driver navigates the winding hills to a secluded, family-owned vineyard on the slopes of Mount Etna for an exclusive wine tasting and a rustic farm-to-table lunch overlooking the Ionian Sea.
A completely unstructured day aboard the yacht. Infinity pool. Your included 60-minute spa treatment for two. A private bridge tour alongside the Captain to celebrate the milestone.
Escape the city crowds for a day of absolute seclusion on Sipan Island. This exclusive private excursion brings you to BOWA, an idyllic coastal retreat nestled within pristine natural beauty. Six hours in a private cabana , leisure, relaxation, and fresh Adriatic cuisine in one of Croatia's most tranquil hidden gems.
A private speedboat journey to the island of Dugi Otok , World War II submarine tunnels, a mesmerizing shipwreck, the natural wonders of Golubinka Cave and the Dragon's Eye. Between sites, snorkeling in the crystal-clear Adriatic before returning to the yacht for a final evening on board.
Following a seamless disembarkation in Venice, a private water taxi transfers you directly to Marco Polo Airport for your flight home. A coordinated car service awaits your arrival at your home airport to bring you directly to your doorstep.
