From 2015-2021 FANTASEA was based out of Chicago, so she was always in fresh water and stored inside a climate-controlled shed for eight months of the year. After it was purchased in 2021, it went through 18 months of upgrades at Lauderdale Marine Center, after which she has been based out of Sarasota and more recently Nassau, Bahamas. The paint is in excellent condition and the CAT C-32 main engines only have 1900 hrs on them.
FANTASEA features the 3-stateroom layout that includes a full-beam master cabin, a queen-sized guest cabin and a huge VIP cabin. The crew cabins are aft of the engine room.
FANTASEA will be your "dream come true on the sea" created through the use of large luxurious staterooms combined with a long list of amenities and toys that create the experience of a lifetime.
Two extra large master staterooms have king beds with settees and another large VIP stateroom with queen bed. All have surround sound entertainment with spacious bathrooms. Combined they sleep 6 adults with room for 2 children in convertible couch in Salon. The yacht carries 4 crew onboard to ensure a relaxed luxury experience. Rich gloss cherry wood with burl accents combined with beautiful furnishings create an elegant and comfortable atmosphere.
FANTASEA was updated in 2022 to include state-of-the-art zero speed stabilizers ensuring a smooth ride, a 6-person jacuzzi situated across from the top deck bar w/TV, and a large swim platform that doubles as a beach club area positioned under an awning.
All new air conditioning throughout the yacht combined with all new surround sound tv/audio are just a few of the reasons you can be assured of a great experience. All tv/audio is powered by a strong satellite internet connection that also provides easy access for business purposes.
FANTASEA has two full wet bars (sink, refrigerator and ice-maker) with one positioned in the salon and the other on the top deck across from a 6-person jacuzzi. The dining area comfortably seats 8 and the salon has a large sectional couch across from a full bar and 52" TV with surround sound.
FANTASEA is powered by 2 CAT-32 engines generating almost 4,000 horsepower. With 3,200 gallons of fuel the yacht has a comfortable cruising range of over 1,000 miles. An advanced zero-speed stabilization system installed in 2022 reduces side-to-side roll and promises guests exceptional comfort levels at anchor or when underway.
