Could this be the boat where James Rothschild proposed to Nicky Hilton?

British banker James, who is based in London, is also thought to have flown to Los Angeles last month to get a blessing from Nicky's parents. Nicky, 30, and James, who is a British banker, first  met in 2011 at the wedding of Petra Ecclestone and James Stunt in Odescalchi castle, the spectacular 15th-century Italian fort where Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes also married. They pair are now embarking on a road trip around Italy, which Nicky has been sharing on Instagram with her fans.
