Proposal Cruises in Washington, DC

A proposal only happens once, which is exactly why so much can go wrong with it in public — a crowded overlook, a stranger in the background of every photo, a moment you wanted to be private turning into a small audience. On the water, none of that is a risk.

Discretion, by Design

Geronimo carries only your party. There's no other couple aboard angling for the same view, no tourists wandering into frame. Whatever you're planning — a ring in a jacket pocket, a note tucked somewhere, a specific song cued up — happens with exactly as much privacy as you want.

Timed to the Light

Most proposals we help plan happen during golden hour, when the Washington Monument and the rest of the skyline turn gold behind you. Tell us the moment matters and we'll time the departure and the route so you're exactly where you want to be, exactly when the light is right.

We Coordinate, You Focus on the Moment

Your captain can hold position for a photo, cue a bottle of champagne the instant it's over, or simply stay quietly out of the way until you need something. If you want a photographer aboard, a specific song playing, or a particular spot on the river, tell us in advance — we'll work out the logistics so you don't have to think about anything but the question.

Questions

Can you keep the ring safe until the right moment?

Yes — talk to your captain in advance about where and how you'd like to keep it, whether that's with you the whole time or handed off discreetly at the right moment.

Can we bring a photographer?

Absolutely. Let us know when you book so we can plan boarding and positioning around them.

Plan the Moment

Tell us the date and the details — we'll take care of the timing and the discretion.
