Patrick and Monika are a hidden gem. They helped me create the most magical proposal I could have ever imagined! I honestly I can’t say enough great things about them. Let me start off first by mentioning that the Hope San is stunning, even more so in person than in photos. I booked my sunset cruise 5 months in advance, as I did not want to miss my opportunity to charter their boat. I stumbled across them after an extensive search for the perfect sailboat. Patrick and I had a conversation to see if he was able to help me pull off the proposal and after speaking with him, I knew he was the captain for us! As the date neared, we exchanged details via email so we were both prepared. On the big day, my (then) girlfriend and I went to the boat launch where Monika was waiting for us right on time. Monika had a water taxi waiting for us and we all headed over to the mooring where the sailboat was ready to go. We boarded the boat and they both made sure we were comfortable, offering to get us anything we needed. Patrick asked us if we wanted to go relax on the bow of the boat and Monika provided us with cushions. We packed champagne and snacks and enjoyed our picnic on the bow. Patrick and Monika gave us our privacy so we could enjoy our romantic cruise. My girlfriend had absolutely no idea they were in on anything. At 7:45PM on the dot, just as I had requested, Patrick and Monika had the boat in the exact spot and position for my proposal. They were able to bring the boat close enough to shore so our friends and family could see. The best part of it all, while I was proposing, Patrick captured the intimate moment on his personal camera and sent us beautiful pictures a couple days later so we could relive the whole event all over again! My (now) fiancé is already begging me to book a charter with them next year on the date of our engagement. Needless to say, we will be back! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Patrick and Monika!
