Our fleet accommodates weddings of all sizes. The Dandeana hosts up to 100 guests for an intimate celebration, while FantaSea One—the largest charter yacht in Marina del Rey—can accommodate up to 250 guests. For smaller gatherings, we can arrange yacht weddings for as few as 12 guests.
Our all-inclusive packages cover catering, full bar service, private venue space, professional event coordination, tables, chairs, linens, and a dedicated captain and crew. We also coordinate with your chosen outside vendors including florists, photographers, DJs, and live entertainment to ensure seamless execution of your vision.
Yes! One of the greatest advantages of a yacht wedding is hosting your entire celebration in one stunning location. Your guests will enjoy the ceremony on deck with ocean views, then transition seamlessly into the reception—no transportation between venues required.
Our yachts feature spacious enclosed interior areas with climate control, so your celebration continues comfortably regardless of weather conditions. Marina del Rey enjoys mild weather year-round, but our experienced crew monitors conditions closely and can adjust the cruising route to ensure smooth sailing.
Most yacht wedding charters are 4 to 5 hours, which allows ample time for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, dancing, and photos. We can customize the duration based on your specific timeline and needs—just discuss your preferences with our wedding specialists.
We depart from Marina del Rey and cruise along the beautiful Southern California coastline. Your guests will enjoy stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, the marina, and the Los Angeles skyline. The captain can adjust the route based on weather and sunset timing for optimal photo opportunities.
Absolutely. While we handle all catering and bar services in-house, we welcome and coordinate with your preferred outside vendors. Our team has worked with countless photographers, florists, DJs, and officiants over our 40+ years in business and can provide recommendations if needed.
We recommend booking 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (spring and summer) and popular dates like Saturdays. However, we occasionally have availability for shorter timelines, so contact us even if your date is approaching—we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
Our yachts cruise at a gentle pace through the protected waters of Marina del Rey and Santa Monica Bay, which minimizes motion. The vessels are large and stable, and most guests don’t experience any discomfort. For anyone who is sensitive, we recommend they stay on the lower decks where motion is least noticeable.

We are! We take care of all the yacht party set-up prior to guest boarding.
All of our captains are ordained to perform wedding ceremonies by the Universal Church of Life.
You will need to bring your license with you on the day of your wedding for the officiant to sign before you send it in to be recorded.
Unfortunately, no. We work hard to leave a minimal footprint on the environment, so we have a few alternative ideas for you—just ask!
We set up a reception table and have one of your assistants receive your gifts. They are bagged later in the evening and taken home with you at the end of your yacht party reception.
As a rule of thumb, on the table if it is edible, on the way out if it is not.
We just need a signed contract and deposit.
Some of our yacht weddings book more than a year in advance; others book 3–6 months in advance. The sooner you book, the greater the chance of getting your preferred date.
Yes, there is easy public parking close to the yachts.
