About this venue

FantaSea Yachts is a family-owned boat wedding venue company operating out of Marina del Rey, California. Boasting an impressive fleet of boats, they are able to accommodate wedding celebrations of varying sizes and types. So, if you are keen on taking to the water to say your vows, exchange rings, and become newlyweds, then this could be the perfect choice for you.

Facilities and Capacity

FantaSea Yachts has three boats available as part of its fleet - the Dandeana, the Regentsea, and Fantasea One.

The largest boat is Fantasea One - on this boat, you and your guests can relax in comfort and style as you celebrate a magical day of love, romance, and commitment. With a maximum capacity of approximately 300 people, it is large enough for those who are having trouble reducing their guest list. Boasting four different levels - the Captain’s Lounge, Dining Room, Party Deck, and Sky Deck - it truly has everything one would need for an extravagant day and night.

Regentsea can accommodate 135 guests for a wedding celebration, allowing for a more low-key display of revelry. With three levels available to enjoy - Captain’s Lounge, Bar, and Party Deck, there is a great deal of space to explore. There is also a convenient bridal suite available for makeup touch-ups and attire alterations. Chandeliers, a plasma screen television, and comfortable seating embellish the space’s luxury.

Dandeana is perfect for intimate weddings as it can accommodate approximately 130 guests. Much like the Regentsea, this boat also has three levels - a lounge, a middle deck, and a sky deck (great for enjoying your favorite drink under the stars).

Services Offered

An event planning service is available to assist the happy couple with their big day, while cleanup and setup services are also listed among FantaSea Yachts’ services.

They are able to offer a number of packages for the couple of honor to choose from. Their most popular option includes the following, and more: serving staff, linens, champagne toast for the bridal party, hors d’oeuvres selection, and a non-alcoholic beverage bar.

Indeed, the couple are welcome to customize their package to suit - they can choose from a number of upgrades. Additionally, the staff are more than delighted to connect you with a list of trusted vendors who can bring your wedding to life the way you want.

Cuisine

The executive chefs can create some fantastic culinary delights to please a variety of palates and tame appetites. Offering buffet, cocktail reception, dessert, family style, plated, stations, and other catering styles, they provide a comprehensive service. What better way to mark the occasion of your marriage than by dining on some fine cuisine as you admire waterfront views in the sunshine?

Outstanding

There are not enough words to describe the experience with FantaSea Yachts! From the first contact with Jasmine through the planning, food tasting and final event, they were beyond helpful, patient, very responsive and exceeded on EVERY LEVEL. Our wedding reception was magical and their level of service was noticed by all of our guests. The food was outstanding, the attentiveness of Leslie and Jasmine was spot on to make sure everything was on time, guests were happy and that my husband and I could relax and not worry about anything but celebrating!!! Every single thing about that night and from every experience since the first contact EXCEEDED our expectations! Guests said it was the most beautiful reception and was complimented with the incredible food and top notch service! We couldn't agree more and so grateful to everyone at FantaSea Yachts!!! Special thanks to Jasmine and Leslie, you two are nothing short of AMAZING!

Best choice for a wedding venue!

Our experience working with FantaSea for our wedding was perfect from the first contact right through the wedding day. Jasmine, Erin, and Karen went above and beyond to make sure that our special day went perfectly. Communication was great and attention to detail was on point. They helped us customize our wedding to work within our budget to make sure that we got everything we wanted while staying within our budget and did a great job with all of the planning and coordinating. You won't be disappointed if you book an event with FantaSea. They are the best!

I could not more highly recommend FantaSea Yachts for whatever your event is or whatever you may be celebrating! My (now) husband and I met performing on a cruise ship 11 years ago, so we decided to have our ceremony/reception aboard the Dandeana, and it exceeded our expectations in every way! Karen went above and beyond to help us get set up/lock down the date and Erin so carefully walked us through every detail of the day and even personally managed the event the day of. Their quick responses to our (many) questions kept us feeling well taken care of and never bothersome. It turned out to be the dreamiest day of our lives! The ambiance, the weather, the attention to detail, the food and service were all incredible. Every guest I've spoken with sings their praises and comments on how unique and fun of an event it was. If I could do it all over again, I would not change a thing!

I cant even begin to thank Fantasea yachts and my wedding coordinator Erin Adams for their outstanding work on our wedding. I started planning my wedding 7 months in the making. Erin helped us from the start. She was truly fantastic. From start to finish she worked her butt off on making our day the best day possible. I am a bit of a control, organization and planning freak and Erin was so sweet and kind about it. I would send her tons of emails and print outs of what I wanted and what I expected and she always stayed right on top of it. For the most part I had absolutely no stress planning my wedding and use to even brag about how I was no Bridezilla and everything came so easy for me. A few days before the wedding I found out my dove vendor wouldn't let me release doves anymore because it was getting dark faster and the birds wouldn't be able to find their way home. I was devastated because I was releasing these doves in remembrance of our daughter who passed and my husbands grand mother who also passed. Erin at last minute wrote a really beautiful testament in our vows for them and also placed a candle on a table for us to light during the ceremony in their honor. The extra effort she put in for that really meant a lot to both my husband and I. Now the day of the wedding. Erin worked so hard. All my family and guests came up to me and mentioned to me how hard she worked. We had open bar so everyone drank a lot and I know it wasn't easy maneuvering a crowd of 120 intoxicated people. But she did it with grace and professionalism. She really worked extra hard in making our day so special. We are so thankful to have worked with her and we are so happy that we chose the Fantasea Yachts for our wedding. It was the most magical day ever. Everything went perfect, we could not have asked for a better night. Thank you Fantasea Yachts and Erin!!!!

This place was gorgeous! We booked the clubhouse and it was great! You can see the whole marina from the clubhouse which made for a beautiful backdrop. Everyone served us very well and we had absolutely no worries throughout the whole process. They made us feel comfortable. Even the price they negotiated with us so that we were able to get what we wanted at a price we could afford. I recommend this venue for everyone!

From the moment my now husband and I walked through the door the check out the venue, we felt completely at home. Everyone there is so warm and friendly. The boats and Yacht club are so beautiful, unique, and clean, and their prices can not be beat!
We first met with John who is just the nicest, most upbeat man! He was great at helping us figuring out basic details and reccomending vendors and ideas. We had 200 guests and we ended up deciding to do Ceremony on the Fantasea One and Reception at the Yacht Club. We felt it was the perfect balance of everything. John was fantastic about answering any questions we had about the wedding details.
Our day of coordinator was Jasmine. Honestly, Jasmine alone should be the reason you book Fantasea as your wedding venue. She did not miss a single detail. She was so organized, calm, and sweet. She oversaw every detail from our ceremony and reception order, food, ordering a Challah for before dinner, coordianting with all of our vendors, placing our favors at each seat, cake topper on the cake when it arrived, our own chapagne toasting flutes at our seats ready to go, and just keeping the wedding running completely smooth and on schedule. She set up the Ketubah and the wedding Sand Ceremony under the Chuppah for the ceremony, and then moved them into the reception room and beautifully displayed them for everyone to see. During dinner she made plates for my husband and I since she knew we would not have a chance to get through the buffet line. She kept our drinks filled at all times, and descretely came and got us when it was time to start speeches, and time to cut the cake. At the end of the wedding she helped gather our gifts, leftover favors, decorations, cake topper, and champagne flutes that she knew we would want to take home and her crew helped load it into my parents car.
Overall, our wedding was a complete hit thanks to Fantasea. We got TONS of compliments on how great the food was which you rarely hear from a wedding.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
