We had our wedding on the beautiful Fantasea Yachts aboard the stunning Dandeana, and it was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. Having such an important day celebrated on a private yacht made the entire experience feel incredibly special and unforgettable. Our package included passed appetizers, an alcohol package, and a delicious dinner with multiple sides and salad, all of which were very reasonably priced. The service was exceptional throughout the entire planning process and wedding day. Jasmine Lee helped me for an entire year leading up to the wedding, and on the day of the event, Jasmine and Stephanie worked seamlessly together to ensure everything ran smoothly. They directed our guests, kept the timeline on track, fixed my dress and veil before I walked down the aisle, brought appetizers and champagne to me and my bridesmaids while we were getting ready, and made sure my husband and I were taken care of throughout the evening. Our food and drinks were brought directly to our table while guests were being served, which allowed us to fully enjoy the celebration. They also handled all of our décor setup and cleanup, making the entire day stress-free. My only minor complaint was that the food service was located downstairs, so guests had to carry their plates upstairs. However, this was a very small issue compared to everything else that was done so well. Overall, our wedding was everything we hoped for and more. The yacht was gorgeous, the staff was outstanding, and the experience was truly unforgettable. My only regret is that I didn't book a longer duration because I didn't want the night to end! I would absolutely recommend Fantasea Yachts to anyone looking for a unique, elegant, and memorable wedding venue. We loved every minute of it. read more

They hosted my partner's 60th birthday with such grace and memorable classiness. The weather was terrific and the views of the Marina harbor and the Pacific Ocean was unforgettable. Working with Jasmine to plan the event with food and drinks was so easy. I will never forget the smile on my partner's face, gathered around his life long friend in such an exquisite setting. When I turn 60, FantaSea Yachts will be my chosen venue. read more

This year we decided on a marina cruise for our annual holiday party. Erin was fantastic guiding us through the planning process. We decided to use their list of vendors, which worked out.

We had our Class Of '65 60th Reunion aboard the Fantasea One. We went for a three hour tour of Marina Del Rey. We had cocktails, dinner, and dessert. The crew were all very nice and were all very helpful. All the food was very good and very well presented and served. After dinner I totally pigged out on the cookies. (My Chinese zodiac sign is a pig.) If I hadn't stopped myself I probably would have eaten all the cookies. read more

We recently had our wedding on the Dandeana and it was the wedding of our dreams!! The decor was set up perfectly, all the staff were so attentive and honestly gave the best service not only to us but to all the guests. We were a little nervous about the appetizers and food since we didn't do a tasting but they tasted AMAZING. Our guest could not get over how good everything tasted!!! Everything was coordinated and flowed so well. The rooftop was so fun and everyone loved being up there! With 8 tables there was plenty of space to dance in the middle. I'd choose this venue 100x over! read more

All aboard! Attended a wedding over the weekend for some of my favorite people in the world (Mike & Derrick Jackson-Polek) and was truly in love with the layout of our sailing yacht from start to finish aboard FantaSea Yacht's Dandeana. Boarding was easy, just watch you steps on the dock and entering and exiting the boat, with floor markers and signs in all the appropriate places. The wedding party was less than 100, close to 60 give or take with a four-hour event that included full bar service, passed Hors d'oeuvres, buffet with menu presentation including dietary restriction friendly offerings. The Dandeana has three decks counting the captain's lounge with bridal suite and two gender neutral restrooms. The party deck is where you'll find the bar, reception and event area all in one and the Sky Deck all the way on top is where you can really enjoy the sea and the sky as well as all the views along the SoCAL Los Angeles coast. Truly a beauty at night, but also very worthy of daytime. Seeing the sunset and the horizon from the sky was truly magically. We had a DJ with a great mixed put together by the happy couple from top 40s to disco to 80s and 90s nostalgia and tons of sing-along tunes as well. I was really impressed by how fast as well as smooth the wedding was set up and changed over to reception for dinner and the incredible staff though enjoying the buffet on the main deck and braving the stairs with two plates of food was a skill I didn't know I had. They had a solid selection of spirits for most well drinks at the bar, standard beer options and mediocre wine that was okay for the occasion, but you can BYOB/W/S for a small fee, which I recommend highly! The time really flies when you're celebrating and having fun. The string lights on the Sky Deck as well as the Party level were perfect. Truly appreciate Captain Joel, our chef, bartender, the crew, dj and host and any and all involved with making the day/night even more magical than possible for Derrick and Mike and all their friends, family and loved ones. read more

Attended a birthday party on a yacht and it was beautiful! Service was great and on time.

I came here for a wedding reception. The boat left the port at 5:30p and came back on 9:30p. It doesn't go too far from the pier. Everyone on the boat had a great time and it sure was a memorable day of this year. Thanks to all the staff on the boat!! 1. Ambience "FantaSea One" is a ferry boat with 4 levels. The first level was for the food and a bar, the second floor was filled with +20 dining tables (with 10 seats each). The third floor was a stage level with a bar you can dance a night away! The 4th floor is outdoor with multiple high tables. 2. Service Every staff were nice and friendly. 3.Location It is in the Marina Del Rey. 4. Hygiene Table, plates, utensils, cups and glasses and the floor, ... everything was clean. 5. Restroom It is a bit outdated, but clean and properly maintained. 7. Parking (paid) There is a plenty of parking and found a spot right away. 8. ETC - They accept credit card - Not dog-friendly - Watch your step when boarding. ** If this review was helpful, please vote :) @juxycat ** read more

Doesn't look like much from the back but once you get inside, it's nice, the interior is fly, and the roof with the outside overlooking the water is very nice. I was surprised. There's a main bedroom, a kitchen, a huge living room, a upstairs, with another bar area, and another huge living room, with a roof top, and some areas where you can stand outside but in the front of the yacht. These are yachts. Huge yachts. There's some smaller yachts around here I see but this huge one is like a big house on water. I believe I'm on this yacht with 100 people or more. You can def have a party on here, or at least an event. I'm on a work experience. I give this company a 5 star. Even the customer service, staff is very nice. We got on at 9am and we are now going out to sea at 11:50am. We will be done around 4:30-5pm. Can't wait to see and feel the water. read more

I have nothing but incredible things to say about Fantasea Yachts and Jasmine's services. We just had our wedding on board and had the most magical experience. Everything from the atmosphere, to the kind staff, to Joel (the captain) who also married us, to the food, and finally to Jasmines incredible coordination services. What a joy and could not have asked for anything more. She was so on top of everything to make our night the most memorable and unforgettable experience ever. If I had one negative - I would say that having tray passed drinks would be better to improve long wait times at the bar (especially for a party size of ours at 182). Otherwise, I can't think of anything else! Thank you Jasmine and Fantasea! read more

Best Halloween Party ever! This review is long overdue. The company I work for loves Halloween and I was put in charge of planning the Halloween party. I have always wanted to have a party on a yacht and I came across FantaSea and I'm so glad I did. Everything was so easy. They are amazing! Erin gave me so many helpful ideas of how to decorate the yacht, and they decorated the yacht for me. I dropped off decorations and they took care of it. They even said I could have decorations sent to them directly. The Captain and all the crew were amazing. When I showed up before the event, they all knew my name and who I was and made me feel so special. My coworkers loved the party on the Dandeana yacht. We had a lunch buffet and the food was delicious. Dessert was cookies and milk shots. We had a coffee bar too. We had 3 levels in the Dandeana so it was nice to have multiple options of where people could go. It was such a beautiful day out on the water. It was definitely a day to remember and I hope to book another party with FantaSea. read more

We had our wedding here on 9/12/21 and we are so glad we chose this venue. Everything was perfect thanks to Jasmine. She never seemed annoyed when I asked all my questions leading up to the big day and made sure I was ok the whole day of. We were also really happy that they let us extend our wedding until 11pm, most venues make you end at 10pm. The food was also great! The vendors I recommend for this venue are: DJ- Raul (323) 514-5366 Florist- Robinson (blooming flowers) (213) 822-9143 read more

Called to inquire about services. Jasmine refused to speak to me until she emailed me some details about a quote. Fair. Spoke with Jasmine and tried asking her questions, but it was almost impossible to get a word in. Not really happy with the experience I got here communication-wise. I would have been okay with the prices/quotes if our convo had gone a different way. I think if you're spending as much money as they charge, you deserve better service. I'd look elsewhere read more

I met Jasmine from Fantasea Yachts in January 2019 to prepare for my 50th birthday party in April of 2020. All the preparations was made for the party and you all know what happens next, Covid hits us and we don't know what's going to happen, the government going to let us have it, is Covid going to be gone before April, no one knew. I had friends and relatives from out of town planning to come down for the party, probably in February we made the decision to postpone it to the following year. We all wait and wait, restrictions aren't lifted yet. We can do small gatherings but not what I had planned, 250 people on the FantaSea One! Again we postponed the party till the following year, 2022! You know what, Covid was a blessing in disguise! Those two extra years allowed me to work and get more things for the party, we had casino night, live band, photo booth, DJ, balloon maker for the kids, great party favors and raffle prizes, an open bar till the end of the 6 hour party and a taco guy waiting on the docks for us when we disembarked to help sober up my guests at Dock 52! Throughout this whole process, Jasmine was there for me assuring me this was going to be "The party of the century!" My guests complimented me on the party thrown, saying the food was amazing and all the staff was great. Behind a great work force is a good leader and the general manager Jasmine is one great leader! I'll be happy to answer any questions regarding the service given by this company!! And you won't hear anything negative at all!! Oh and it was 70s themed since I was born in 1970! read more

I recently threw my office holiday party on the Dandeana yacht. Every single detail was amazing, from my Event Planner Jasmine, the most amazing crew - Kevin, Gabby, Mariano and Carlos.

Jasmine and the FantaSea crew were great! I hosted a big corporate event on the Dandeana in Marina Del Rey last week. The pressure was high, and the crew delivered an exceptional experience.

Called to inquire renting a yacht for my 35th Bday, was given great details and option via email, review to come soon!

We booked an evening four hour cruise for my fiancés 60th birthday. The staff was beyond amazing. They helped with decorating the room when I was running out of time. We had passed hors d'oeuvres, a buffet dinner and a dessert table to augment the birthday cake. We had 35 guests and everyone enjoyed the slow cruise around the marina. Erin, Jasmine and Franzini made our evening everything it could be and more. The coordination was so nice and took the stress off of me as hostess. The food was very good. They offer a vast array to select and I had some vegans and vegetarians to have meals for. They were so accommodating. I highly recommend checking Fantasea Yachts for any celebration. read more

Don't think and just Book it! The best in LA and their staff is top notch! Jasmine is so organized and operates her staff and boat with class and very well disciplined. She is the reason we booked and we loved her from the second we met her! She is the best wedding coordinator we never ever imagined getting! My wife's dress was not functioning and she even fixed that! She is the backbone of the operation and if I had a restaurant currently I would have tried hiring her ! read more

I was looking to party on a boat that looked awesome from land and had the makings of a nice ride at sea. We found Fantasea via web and via Yelp so we contacted them and started the process in choosing the right venue for us. We signed on and everything was in the basket until things started falling apart and we had to call it off. We contacted Fantasea and John Williams-Jacob & Jasmine Lee did there best to accommodate. In the beginning they stated it was a family business and they would go above and beyond for us. We noticed that the discounts we were getting weren't really discounts but just a manipulation of the numbers and they offered to refund our money but after hesitation we were back on board. But as much as we wanted to continue things unraveled and we were brought down with uncertainty. We tearfully cancelled and submitted paperwork for refund. We didn't think they'd opt to give us back anything but they eventually refunded our entire amount. In tough times like these I am grateful for companies like these that work with you even when you need to cancel for an unforeseen reason. read more

The only yacht rentals company you should consider for your events. Excellent service and execution. I had one week to plan, book, and throw an industry yacht party for 200 people. I talked with a couple of other rental companies but none of them could host an event with over 12 people, which is ridiculous. I reached out to Jasmine at Fantasea and she helped me book the PERFECT yacht for our event, as well as helping with catering, communicating with our vendors, organizing staff, and even helping get the boat ready for the event. All in all my expectations were exceeded with the customer service provided by Jasmine and in the end, the event went off without a hitch! By the way, we booked the Fantasea One and it is literally the perfect yacht for any large scale event at sea. Thank you again Jasmine! read more

We just had our wedding this past weekend 4-12-14. It was the most fantastic spectacular wedding! So many of our guests told us how much they enjoyed every aspect of it. The FantaSea Yachts is definitely an amazing place to hold any special event. I highly recommend it. We had the ceremony aboard the Regent Sea yacht. It was amazing, spectacular, and romantic. It was really neat to glance outside during the ceremony and see the beautiful Marina. Everyone was smiling and happy. We had a gorgeous Chuppah and red roses/ arrangements from the Flower Lab in Santa Monica. The rabbi was really really great, Rabbi Barry Tuchman, which was on the club's vendor list. Everyone loved him and his sense of humor and way of officiating in a unique way . We had great Hors d'Heuvres and the drinks at the bar were great as well. As far as the staff on board, I was very happy. Jasmine really helped us every step of the way. Things went very smoothly as we followed our timeline. Any time I had something come up, she was right there. The bridal room was really cute and comfortable. They had champagne and hors d'heuvres there for me. I felt very spoiled. Next we landed and had gorgeous pictures taken right by the Yacht as the sun was setting by Gina and Ryan photography. It was just the perfect setting for our portraits. We then entered the beautiful yacht club and straight into our first dance to the beautiful music of the band: Makina Loca (Salsa Cuban/African band). We had 200 plus guests and the place totally accommodated that many people. The dance floor was just enough space and we were able to fit a 9 piece band and DJ there comfortably. Our DJ Kevs Uno was fantastic and made announcements for things coming up and played all the best jams. We danced all night and had a blast. The food was good, better than the tasting we had a few months prior. The cake was included in our package from Torrance Bakery. It was spectacular, gorgeous and tasty. I really have nothing but good things to say about the FantaSea Yacht Club experience. The wedding planners are great and really necessary in planning a big event as important as your wedding.

My very good friend had her Birthday on this yacht Deandrea (sp?)What a great night! My friend 85 guests guests for a sit down dinner dancing cocktails.. The works! From the beginning she told me her experience with the staff and the planners were wonderful. I saw her folder and they are so organized and will help you every step of the way. Its full Service. If I were to have a party , wedding or other special event I would come here for sure! The on board staff, Unbelievable 5 Stars!!! The Bar tender He seemed a little cranky. THe Birthday Girl host brought their extensive wine collection and scotch collection and had tastings which was super fun and what a terrific idea - perhaps why the bartender seemed cranky maybe he wasn't into the tasting thing Cocktail hour with horseduvers passed. Nice classy touch. Dinner : Sole, Salad, Veggies, Chicken Dish with Pasta & Birthday Cake . Food was pretty darn good for served buffet . Birthday Cake was from Torrance Bakery in Old Torrance - you can never go wrong here. My BF recently had a heart procedure and had some issues come up . The staff were just wonderful in helping us. We were fortunate that we were on a boat full of Doctors so therefore there were no issues, he needed assistance getting off the boat and they actually had a wheel chair. They were just terrific when this minor emergency happened. I would highly recommend this Yacht Event Company. read more

FantaSea Yachts enabled me to have the time of my life last night. I booked the Dandeana for my birthday party on the night of the MDR holiday boat parade....best decision ever. I knew from the beginning I was in good hands. This is what they do... They execute parties and weddings on their 3 yachts 365 days a year. Jasmine, my event manager, and General Manager for FantaSea has a quiet, calm, confidence that is very reassuring. And she's good ! She helps you make the right decisions, and working with her was a pleasure! Prompt with email communication also. Bottom line, even though they have events all the time, they acknowledge that YOUR event is very special, and they treat it as such. And my party? Everyone loved the food! The staff was very attentive and friendly. Beautiful linens and centerpieces. Yacht decorated beautifully for the holidays. I got credit for throwing the best party ever... And why? Because we were on the M.V. Dandeana. read more

My poor date. ;) Thanks Shawn Antonio!! Let's do it again!! And to all my dance partners...I couldn't have done it with you! read more

Attended a wedding here, aboard the Dandeana, which was hosted by FantaSea. A wedding aboard a yacht, nice! They time the boats departure so that when the ceremony is happening, you have a nice sunset background for the couple. Open bar. Free water and champagne, the rest you have to pay for. Friendly bartenders. Food was served cafeteria style. Get in line, get your plate and silverware and get your food. The yacht made many trips up and down the harbor. Got to hang out at the bridge and chatted it up with the captain explaining to me the many complex and different instruments and navigation system. It was an eye-opener since I've always wondered how they navigate the waters when it's pitch black at night. It was a different wedding experience than your usual church or country club wedding. The staff at FantaSea were all professional and friendly. Just don't forget to take some dramamine if you have motion sickness... read more

I recently had a wedding late October and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. We met with many different venues from Huntington Beach to Malibu and we must say the biggest and main reason we chose FantaSea Yachts was because of Jasmine. She is the GM but you would never know it. She plays the role of wedding planner, cordinator, and basically the IT person. She is timely with her emails and text. She accomadated to our request for the food and also was there to ensure our wedding went amazing. She kept her cool throughtout the wedding and did everything with 100 percent professionalism. The food was delicious and the pricing is a steal! I would recommend FantaSea Yachts over and over again. I am in the industry and I have to say this is the type of hospitality that does not exist anymore. If you are thinking about booking an event, stop thinking and JUST DO IT! Thank You Jasmine! You deserve a raise and the company is more than lucky to have someone like you. read more
