FantaSea Yachts — Local services in Marina del Rey

I don't know where to begin. There are so many wonderful things about FantaSea - the warm people, the level of professionalism, the attention to detail, the family feel and the reassurance that your event is in the most excellent hands.

My husband and I had our wedding reception at FantaSea Yacht Club this past June. It was the best decision we could have made! One of the things that attracted us to FantaSea was that it's a family owned business. The owners and their incredible team really care about making sure your needs are taken care of. Everyone at the company takes great pride in their work. They love what they do and it shows.

Our event manager, Jasmine Lee, completely kept my husband and I at ease throughout the planning. And guess what?! Planning the wedding was FUN. A lot of fun. From day one, Jasmine sat us down and gave us a step-by-step wedding overview - from the décor to the linens to the day of events. She covered everything. There were no surprises (again, this shows you how good they are at their jobs. They've been doing this the past 35 +years so the team knows their stuff!)

We also had a very specific theme we wanted to carry out throughout our reception. Jasmine and her team completely accommodated every request with no muss, no fuss - from lighting to signature cocktails to custom appetizers and desserts. Every little detail turned out just as we had imagined. They never challenged any creative idea we had, but, instead, found a way to make it work OR they brainstormed with us till we arrived at a solution! Again, wedding planning was so much fun for us and we're convinced it was that way because we worked with FantaSea. 100% hands down the best money we have ever spent (not to mention, they will work with you to come up with a budget you are comfortable with).

One thing I remember was when our limo pulled up to the reception, Jasmine came out to greet us and with her, she had my back-up pair of shoes, in case I wanted to change into them at that time. I didn't even ask - she just had that instinct, something we highly valued. She also took my veil from me, kept it in a safe place, and returned it to us at the end of the night - neatly wrapped in a package. That's the other thing - once the event ended, they completely broke down everything! We had a lot of décor we brought in and when we left, all of our items we wanted to keep were wrapped in bubble wrap, carefully placed and organized in boxes. They did that for us without us asking. They also helped to load our car with everything. This was a service that went above and beyond and completely impressed my husband and me. Those are the kinds of things you don't want to think about the night of your wedding. FantaSea was on top of it and just took care of it all. They also got in touch with our vendors before our wedding to make sure everything was in order.

Our wedding was a good size (about 235 people) and one of the comments we consistently heard was how good the food was. For us, the sole seemed to be the clear home run with our crowd, as was the roasted chicken. I also loved how Jasmine and her team made sure we ate! When we sat down after our grand entrance, they made sure to have appetizers waiting for us, which was awesome! Same thing with our cake. At the end of the night, we brought out a street dog man for a late night snack. Jasmine found me in the crowd, and asked me if I wanted any food from him. I told her quesadillas - within minutes she was back at my side with a piping hot quesadilla for me.

I can go on and on. Bottom line, this is as good as it gets. They are amazing people who really care about making sure your special day is just as you imagine. If you want a team who is exceptional, kind, professional, organized and fun, look no further. Thank you, FantaSea, for making the best day of our lives so amazing...

I just had my wedding over the Memorial day holiday weekend and I couldn't be happier that I booked my wedding with FantaSea Yachts. From the moment I had my first conversation, to booking my venue, to the day of my wedding, 5 stars!!!! Would give this company 10 if I could!

Bottom Line up Front: professional, prompt, responsive, genuine, & excellent customer service!!!! Competitive prices, will not hesitate to hire for future events! Brides, look no further, if you want to get married on yacht, this is the company to beat! From start to finish of my whole wedding process, FantaSea Yachts was wonderful.There is not enough words to express my gratitude to this company. Even my wedding planner @Papermoonproductions took notice and said that the this company was a pleasure to work with.

Jasmine was my coordinator day of my wedding, and she executed my vision flawlessly. I was anxious and worried and wanted my wedding to go perfectly. Jasmine went above and beyond my expectations and I highly recommend her!! She answered every email, text, and phone call promptly and professionally--and trust me there was a lot since I was planning my wedding from out of state. She was great to work with from the planning process through the conclusion of my wedding. Jasmine and her staff are very competent and know their venue inside and out.

The company was easy to communicate with, always available, prompt at responses. I met the owner of the company and yacht on one of my tours of the venue and he too, is super approachable and has a wonderful demeanor. His entire staff is informative and personable--from sales (John) to coordinators (Jasmine), to crew members, and to the captain. Their entire staff work as one team with one purpose to make your event memorable and flawless.

The layout of the boat is beautiful. 4 floors and the top deck seated all 160 of my guests perfectly. The company is easy to work with, and they are extremely flexible. My vision for my wedding has always been to get married on a yacht. Therefore I checked out multiple companies all around southern CA including Hornblower (the entertainer, Endless dreams) and Electra cruises (Destiny, Athena, Eternity). What sets FantaSea Yacht apart is their customer service. They are willing to work with you, whereas other companies did not. They are willing to work with your budget and they deliver excellence going above and beyond. Parking: free @ dock 52 (this means neither you nor your guests have to spend money on parking attendants, valet--this adds up!) Dance floor: one of the largest, if not THE largest one compared to other companies/boats Bridal suite: Very large with 2 bathrooms Elevator: for guests who cannot climb flights of stairs (my grandma had no complaints!) Food: great~ and showcase cruise for tastings Open bar option which my guests loved!

The entire process from start to finish was perfect. I cannot thank you guys enough for making my wedding day so special. All of my guests had a blast! The sparkler exit was executed perfectly. Also THANK YOU for alleviating the stress of bringing back all of the decorations at the conclusion of our wedding, but graciously allowing us to pick it up the following day. Your staff even packed our top layer of our cake!

PS: All you who are skeptical of 5 star reviews, this company legitimately deserved every 5 star review it has received! Whole team is amazing! They take care of you like family. Brides, best advice I can give you is, look no further! Hiring this team you can't go wrong! Good luck with...

My husband and I celebrated our milestone birthdays a week ago onboard the yacht Dandeana and everything was just amazing! Our phones and text messages didn’t stop for days after the party from guests telling us how great everything was, how much fun they had, how beautiful everything looked and that they had never been to a party this beautiful and perfect. I worked with Jasmine through the entire planning and she was very helpful, professional and responded to every email, question and text messages timely. On our event date, everything went so smoothly because Jasmine had everything planned out so perfectly, including the coordination with the vendors and nothing was missed. Everything from the table set-up, the décor to the food, the bar, the pastry and fruit table all looked and tasted great and all of the servers and the entire crew were so professional, pleasant, attentive and provided top class service to us and all of our guests. My husband and I were extremely happy with everything, which helped us to just enjoy our party and guests. Having a party on a yacht was truly a unique experience for us and for our guests and I’m glad that we chose FantaSea Yachts for our event. Looking back, we only have beautiful and unforgettable memories from our special birthday celebration. If this review had a 10 star for rating that's what FantaSea Yachts would...
