How do you put into words the most magical night of your life? I called Copacetic Sailing with the intention of asking the most amazing woman to marry me. THEY WERE BEYOND EXCITED FOR US! I spoke with Aaron, son of the famous CPT Joel, and he assured me that he could help make the night magical, special and something to cherish forever. (He did not disappoint.)
When we pulled up to the docks, we were stunned by the sheer size of the Catamaran in person. It was clean and very well kept. Joel and Aaron met us on the dock to help us climb aboard where they introduced themselves (and threw me a sly wink). We stowed our bags and shortly thereafter began sailing towards the Gulf of Mexico. During the initial voyage we introduced ourselves to the other passengers and exchanged pleasantries.
After clearing the no wake zone, the motor was shut off and the sails were lowered. This gave us the all clear to sit down on the trampoline and just be present in the moment. Waves gently rolling under the boat, fresh salty air, soft (cheesy) music, and tasty drinks. The mood was set, ambiance was present, all that was left was to get up and ask this woman to be mine forever.
I stood up, nodded to Aaron, and asked her to marry me. During this time, Aaron and CPT Joel made sure that the boat was perfectly positioned towards the sunset so that we could have the most incredible pictures, which they kindly took for us. After we kissed, Aaron brought out Champagne and glasses for everyone so that we could all celebrate together.
To put it plainly, if you are looking for an amazing night out, a great environment, and even better people, this family-run business is the way to do it. I called dozens of other places before a friend referred me to Copacetic Sailing and none of them had the personality or passion that CPT Joel and Aaron do. I look forward to spending my engagement anniversary with them again next year.

Hi Kevin,
We were honored to be a part of your engagement evening!! I can't express how happy it made all of us in the Andrews family to know that you chose the Copacetic as the place to ask for your bride-to-be's hand in marriage! The catamaran has definitely been labeled as the "Love Boat" more than once, and we are just delighted that you enjoyed this magical evening, and it will be a part of your story.
Please return to see us any time - we'd love to hear how you are doing!
