Private Boat Proposal Package – Lake Como

Lake Como Diary is a cinematic journal of real love stories on Lake Como – proposals, engagements and weddings captured in Italy’s most romantic villages.

Sometimes, love doesn’t happen on a crowded terrace, but on the water — when your private wooden boat glides into the golden light and the whole lake becomes your secret stage. The engine softens, the mountains turn pink, and for a few quiet seconds, it feels like time stops.

This Private Boat Proposal Package – Lake Como is created for couples who want an unforgettable, intimate, beautifully documented Lake Como proposal in the most iconic setting of all: alone on the water, surrounded by grand villas, pastel villages and a sky that looks painted for your moment.

Your Private Boat Proposal on Lake Como, Cinematically Captured

Imagine stepping onto a classic wooden boat on Lake Como, the water perfectly still, the light soft and golden. You sit side by side as the shoreline drifts past: grand villas, whispering cypress trees, pastel houses that look like a painting. Your partner thinks this is just a romantic boat ride — a perfect Italian evening.

The captain slows the boat in the most beautiful spot, surrounded by mountains and shimmering reflections. You stand, take a breath, and turn toward the person you love. Knees shaking, heart racing, you kneel. The world falls silent — just the sound of the water and the words that change everything.

The surprise. The hands covering their face. The first tears. The laughter that breaks into a yes. Every second is documented with the signature cinematic style of Nadia Fraqair, founder of Lake Como Diary and FRAQAIR, using natural light, elegant framing and a discreet, documentary approach.

This private boat proposal experience focuses on real emotion and luxury-level storytelling — not just photos of what happened, but a visual love letter to how it felt to say yes on Lake Como, Italy.

What Couples Say

Private Boat Proposal – Lake Como FAQ

How long is the private boat proposal photography session?

Most private boat proposal sessions last around 1–2 hours on the water, depending on the route and timing. This usually includes the proposal moment, a short scenic cruise and guided portraits on the boat, with the option to add time for photos on shore.

From where does the boat depart?

The boat can usually depart from Bellagio, Varenna or Como, depending on availability and your hotel location. During your consultation, we will choose the most convenient departure point and craft a route that feels cinematic and practical.

Can you help plan the proposal?

Yes. Nadia personally guides you through every detail — from picking the perfect time on Lake Como and coordinating with the captain, to planning the signal for when you will kneel, so everything feels effortless and natural for your partner.

Can we add video or drone coverage?

Absolutely. You can add a cinematographer for a highlight film or upgrade to a full movie-style experience by booking the Lake Como Proposal Videographer package. Drone is possible in certain areas of the lake, depending on local regulations and weather conditions.

What happens if the weather is bad?

Lake Como can be dramatic and beautiful in many conditions, but if the weather is unsafe or very unpleasant, we work with the boat company to adjust timing, modify the route, or, when possible, shift your session to a better window. The goal is always to keep your proposal safe, romantic and cinematic.

How many photos will we receive?

We always work for the result, not the clock. This package typically includes a gallery of around 200–300 final edited images, delivered in a private online gallery in both high-resolution (for printing) and web-optimised versions (for sharing).

Can we bring champagne or flowers on the boat?

Yes. Many couples choose to celebrate with a toast right after the yes. We can arrange a chilled bottle of champagne, glasses and even a bouquet as an add-on, so everything is ready on board when you step onto the boat.
