Where is FantaSea Yacht Charters
located?
FantaSea Yacht Charters is conveniently located at the
South Shore Harbour Resort and Conference Center on
Clear Lake. Our yacht is located on Pier 9 and our offices
are located near Tommy Tipton's Lauderdale Yacht Sales
in Suite C. 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 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. It is recommended
that guests who have a history of seasickness take preliminary
precautions to avoid this just in case. Crew members
cannot give out medicine aboard the yacht.

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.

Is
there a processing fee for using a credit card?
We do not charge a processing fee for public cruises.

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."

I
need to cancel my cruise, what can I do?
Although your purchase is final and non-refundable,
with 48 hours notice, we will be happy to reschedule
your reservations to another available date of your
choosing up to a year from the date of your original
purchase. You will be assessed a 15% re-booking fee
and are responsible for any price difference if you
happen to choose a cruise with a different price.

Are
children allowed on dinner cruises?
Children are welcome on most of FantaSea's cruises.
Child pricing is set for each trip and child ages are
between 3 and 12 years. Children under 3 are free and

I bring a birthday cake on board?

sales team of any celebration upon reservation as we

occasions such as cakes, Champagne Flutes, boarding
