  • How to Book a Yacht Charter in Marina del Rey: 5 Simple Steps

    1. Step 1: Choose your yacht and guest count.

      FantaSea Yachts operates three vessels in Marina del Rey. The Dandeana holds up to 100 guests, the FantaSea One holds up to 250, and the Admiral XL is ideal for intimate groups of up to 12. Selecting the right yacht based on your guest count is the first decision — it determines your pricing range and available dates.

    2. Step 2: Select your event date and check availability.

      Peak dates — summer weekends, holiday party season, and popular wedding months (May through October) — book 3 to 6 months in advance. Use the date availability form on the FantaSea website or call (310) 827-2220 to confirm whether your preferred date is open. FantaSea’s event team responds within one business day.

    3. Step 3: Request a custom quote.

      Submit the request form with your event type, guest count, preferred date, and any special requirements. FantaSea will prepare a detailed quote that includes yacht rental, catering package options, bar service, event staffing, and setup. There is no obligation to book after receiving a quote.

    4. Step 4: Tour the yachts in person.

      FantaSea offers private showings at their Marina del Rey dock by appointment, Monday through Friday 9:30 AM–5:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM–4:00 PM. Seeing the yacht in person helps finalize layout decisions, seating configurations, and décor planning before signing a contract.

    5. Step 5: Confirm, sign, and start planning.

      Once the proposal is approved, a deposit secures the date and a dedicated event coordinator is assigned. FantaSea handles catering coordination, vendor communication, timeline planning, and day-of execution. Most clients describe the process as stress-free from deposit to event day.
