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.
Overview
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.

Main Salon
From the aft deck, there is a large set of trend sliding glass doors that enters into the salon. Upon entering, because of the body and 21.5 ft beam, the salon is breathtaking. Beveled mirrored ceilings over the salon and dining room were added as well as a new chandelier and sconces in the dining area. The use of high gloss cherry with maple burl accents on the columns and horizontal surfaces give the yacht a very comfortable feel. To starboard upon entering the salon is a sunken J-shaped bar with a granite bar top. Behind the bar is a Scotsman commercial grade ice maker, SubZero refrigerator and sink, along with more than ample liquor storage below. In the starboard aft corner of the bar is a 52 inch Pioneer Elite HDTV with Crestron controlled A/V system. To port in the salon is an L-shaped sofa with a large coffee table and a living room chair. The short section of the L-shaped sofa faces aft and is along the dining area divider. To break up the vast ceiling space in the salon, there is a custom ceiling design in the center with accent lighting. This custom design brings warmth to the area. The salon's large windows have Silhouette blinds that are remotely controlled and are done in an off white, as is the carpeting. All of the furnishings have been carefully selected by the owner to complement the interior finishes. To port and aft of the sofa is the curved seven step access down to the crew quarters and engine room. The main salon and formal dining area, which is to port and forward, are separated by a chair railed height divider with more than adequate storage for china and glassware, as well as table cloths and dining accessories. The cherry dining table is built-in with six high backed dining rooms chairs. Above the dining room table is another custom ceiling design which is accented with faux painting and a tasteful chandelier. To starboard, beneath the salon windows, there is additional storage as well as a 36-bottle U-Line wine cooler, convenient to the dining area. Just forward on the starboard side which leads to the country kitchen area, is a day head to port under the railed pilothouse area. This day head is conveniently located for any area on the main deck or guests from the boat deck.
Country Kitchen/Galley
From the salon's starboard side, there is a wide companionway. On the starboard side of the companionway is the stairwell to the owner's/VIP staterooms and to port is the country kitchen/galley area. The windshield gives great natural light to the country kitchen galley area. The country kitchen, all the way forward features a raised split booth with two table tops in granite. These are raised and were split to make easy access for ingress and egress of guests. There is a 16 inch Sharp TV on the port side, facing the dining tables. The sole in this entire area is teak and holly, and the finish is American cherry. The countertops are all granite (Butterfly green). The galley is laid out in an L-shaped working area.

From the port aft section is a curved staircase leading to the engine room and crew's quarters. The treads on the stairs are non-skid teak and holly. At the base of the stairs on the starboard side is an electrical/pump room which was designed to keep the transformers and inverters isolated from the engine room heat. The flooring in the companionway to the swim platform exit door is raised Pirelli composite.
Crew Quarters & Head
The port cabin has twin berths, side by side with abundant drawer space and a large hanging locker. For entertainment, there is a corner Sharp TV, DVD/SAT TV. The starboard cabin has two twin beds stacked and a small desk. The yacht's quality finish is again present even in this crew stateroom.
The crew head has a large shower and more than ample storage. This head is also finished in a yacht quality. Housed in the companionway are a washer/dryer combo, a clothes folding station, and a refrigerator/freezer. The three steps up to the aft exit door lifts and gives access to the rudder area.

Swim Platform/Aft Deck
The vessel can be boarded on either side through gates in the rail accessed from a tide right boarding ladder to the aft deck, or from the swim platform aft that can also access the aft deck or the crew's quarters aft access entry. The swim platform aft is plumbed with fresh water, hot and cold water fittings as a sea water filling, to rinse off after a swim or a trip in the tender. These fittings are contained in a locker on the starboard side. To port on the swim platform is another locker that contains a compressed air fitting. An 8' hydraulic extension was added to the swim platform that includes a cradle for the SeaDoo and its own awning to allow this area to double as a beach club with music system that is suited well for both daytime and evening/dinner entertainment. The crew's quarters and engine room can be accessed from the swim platform via a large hinged door. This allows the crew to enter and leave their quarters without having to walk through the owner/guest salon area or the aft deck. On both the port and starboard side of the transom are curved stairwells that lead from the swim platform to the large aft deck. The aft deck features a curved oval shaped teak table centered on the transom line with a matching, curved dining banquette facing forward along the transom covered in a khaki colored Sunbrella. Below the cushions on the banquette is voluminous storage. Facing aft at the table are (3) teak chairs. This area is perfect for al fresco dining. The aft deck is fully covered by the boat deck to give sun and weather protection. The decks are teak and have Maxwell 2200 Warping capstans both to starboard and port. All of the exterior stainless is bright polished and oversized with hawse pipes both port and starboard. On the starboard side, aft of the seating, is a concealed wine bucket and to port is a hidden sink. Forward and to port on the aft deck is a curved stairwell leading to the bridge deck. The stairwell is weather protected by a sliding glass hatch. To starboard and forward on the aft deck is a large cabinet which houses a U-Line refrigerator and has ample storage space. The aft deck ceiling was finished in a gloss white paint and a new, large TV has been mounted for additional entertainment. Fuel fill is available from both the port and the starboard side on the aft deck and the port side has sewage pump out station.
