Where is Marina del Rey?
Nestled along the coast on L.A.’s Westside, we are perfectly located just minutes from LAX, Venice, Santa Monica, Playa del Rey and Downtown.
How soon should I book?
ASAP! Dates fill quickly sometimes even a year plus in advance and we are not able to hold dates without a deposit and signed contract.
Can guests come and go?
Not typically. While we can certainly re-dock for emergencies, once we leave the dock, we do cruise until the end of the event. However, we are always happy to stay at the dock longer or return early. The yacht is yours, you tell us when you want to cruise.

We can stay out as late as 12 a.m.

Each of our venues has ample interior space to host the entire party inside, so rain is not a problem at all. In fact, some of our best parties have been when it is raining.

Can I bring my own catering?
While FantaSea prefers to be your first choice in catering, we understand the dietary restrictions of certain cultures that we are not able to meet in house. We are happy to work with your caterer in these instances.
Where do I park?
Marina del Rey has several Los Angeles County public parking lots close to our yachts. They are operated by an automated gate. Rates vary based on the season. As there are numerous docks from which to embark, please confirm the address for your invitations and guests with your Event Producer.
Can I use your pictures on my invitations?
Yacht pictures may be used with our pleasure. However, we do need to see a proof so we can authorize before going to print.
