With over 15 years of experience creating engagement and proposal experiences on the Gold Coast, our team knows how to deliver a seamless, beautifully timed moment that still feels natural and personal. No two proposals are ever the same, and we’re here to bring your vision to life so you can relax and focus on the moment that matters most.
A Truly Special Gold Coast Proposal Experience
A private sunset yacht proposal gives you two hours of calm-water sailing aboard a smooth, stable catamaran, perfect for creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
We cruise alongside South Stradbroke Island before stopping at a stunning vantage point to watch the sun dip behind the Gold Coast hinterland mountains. The crystal-clear waters are full of life, so you might spot dolphins nearby or sea eagles gliding overhead, adding to the magic of your engagement moment on the Gold Coast.
As evening falls, the Surfers Paradise skyline begins to sparkle, creating a breathtaking backdrop as we return to the marina.
You’re welcome to bring additional food and drinks, or we can assist with additional catering to elevate your proposal experience even further.
Celebrate Your Engagement Your Way
If you’d like to include loved ones, you can plan a surprise proposal with family and friends on board. We can customise a private yacht charter to suit your group, perfect for those looking for unique engagement celebration ideas on the Gold Coast.
We also offer daytime proposal charters, including the option to stop at a nearby island for an added sense of adventure.

FAQ's
What will happen on the day of my proposal?
On the day of your Gold Coast yacht proposal, you and your partner will board our deluxe vessel, Oceans, around 10 minutes prior to departure. Our friendly skipper and host will welcome you on board and provide a quick safety briefing before we set off.
Before your charter, we’ll work with you to plan the key details such as when you’d like food and drinks served, your chosen proposal song, and whether you’d like the “Will You Marry Me” sail displayed.
As you relax on the spacious front deck, we’ll cruise out of the marina and into the calm Gold Coast waterways. At the perfect moment (usually within the first 30 minutes) your song will play, the sail will be unfurled, and the sun will begin to set as you pop the question.
Your hostess will discreetly capture photos and videos throughout your proposal experience, with time afterwards for golden hour photos. You’ll then enjoy the remainder of your private charter soaking in the views, before returning to the marina as the Surfers Paradise skyline lights up the water.

Charter FAQ's
Where do your boats depart from?
Our boats are berthed at Marina Mirage. Please see the 'contact us' page on our website for further details and a map. Marina Mirage is about 10 mins from Surfers and 15 mins from Broadbeach.
Where can I park?
There is parking available at Mariners Cove (paid) and Marina Mirage plus limited street parking on Seaworld Drive. Please check signage at time of parking and consider ride share for a stress free arrival at your charter (especially during busy times of year).
What about other transport options?
There are lots of ways to get to the boat! The most popular is often Uber so you can have a stress-free arrival.
Can I BYO?
Yes if you would like to bring your own food and drinks on board that is completely fine.
Will I get seasick?
Nope. We operate in the calm, protected waters of the Gold Coast Broadwater. We do not go offshore (into the open ocean) so we do not experience large waves. Our catamarans are very stable, and do not have the same side to side rocking motion as experienced by single hull vessels so you won't get seasick or spill your drink either :-).
What do I need to bring?
- The ring
- Any additional food or drinks you’d like to bring
- Swimwear and towels if you have selected a day charter and wish to swim
Has anyone ever said no?
So far, we’re sitting at a 100% success rate! Something about a private yacht, champagne, and a Gold Coast sunset seems to help...
What if I have a special request?
We’d love to hear it! If you have something unique in mind for your proposal or engagement celebration on the Gold Coast, just reach out via phone or email and we’ll do our best to bring it to life.
Can I see more photos and videos of the boat?
We have photos, videos and a 360 virtual tour of Oceans here: https://sailinginparadise.com.au/boats/oceans-deluxe/
