Where
is FantaSea Yacht Charters located?
FantaSea Yacht Charters is conveniently located at the South Shore
Harbour Resort and Conference Center on Clear Lake. When possible,
guests take this opportunity to turn their mini-cruise event into
a mini-vacation by reserving a suite at South Shore. Please inquire
about South Shore Harbour's group rate at www.sshr.com.

What
is our cruising route?
Our cruising route takes us from the panoramic views of South
Shore Harbour Resort into Clear Lake, where you can enjoy the
scenic waterscapes and beautiful homes along the way. After heading
under the Seabrook bridge, we then cruise slowly along the waterfront
of the ever popular Kemah Boardwalk. Most cruises allow a voyage
of several miles into Galveston Bay before we make our return
to South Shore Harbour.

Will
we get seasick?
Both the substantial length and breadth of our luxury yacht; as
well as, the protected the waterways on which we travel, provide
the premium conditions for a stable and pleasant cruise. Getting
seasick under these conditions is unlikely. On occasion, inclement
weather conditions dictate our route and if the waves on Galveston
Bay are choppy and uncomfortable, the Captain may elect to further
explore the sights on Clear Lake to ensure a delightful cruise
for everyone.

What
about inclement weather?
Rain or inclement weather in most cases does not present a problem.
Other than the aft lower deck, the upper promenade deck and the
bow perimeter -which are the perfect spots to venture out to when
the weather is suitable- our yacht is enclosed and climate controlled.

Are
the plasma TV screens available for client use?
YES! We encourage our guests to incorporate the TWO 42'' Plasma
Screens with their cruise. We have the capability to play DVD's
and show data from a PC using a "Picture CD" or a Power
Point presentation. The wedding couple may want to show family
photos throughout the reception. The flat screens are PERFECT
for guests to see the progression in photos of a budding romance
that led to ceremonial vows. They are also a great asset for proms,
reunions, anniversary and corporate events- bring your favorite
video games and have a ball! Your personal Cruise Consultant is
the avenue to gain all the details. Unlimited use of the plasma
screen is complimentary.

Is
it permitted to add to the décor of the vessel?
YES! Please discuss your ideas with your Cruise Consultant. Our
professional interior designer has tastefully appointed the vessel
with just the perfect amount of nautical flare. As this is YOUR
FantaSea Cruise, our ambition is to provide what you require.
The few safety limitations may apply.

What
is the difference between "boarding time" and "cruising
time?
"Boarding Time" is the earliest time guests may board
the ship. You are allowed to board any time after that up until
the "Cruising Time" at which point the vessel will set
sail. Boarding for most trips is 30 minutes prior to "Cruising
Time."
