Located in Fort Pierce, Florida. This yacht is a magnificent example of quality and heavy duty construction. She was totally refit top to bottom, inside and out from 2004 to 2012 by her current owner, with 40 plus years of experience in the marine industry. Her beautiful mahogany interior has been refinished with Awlcraft 2000 and Awlbrite. Super high gloss finish throughout. Aft deck area is all teak. Same Awlgrip finish. All interior mahogany cabinets and woodwork were stripped and refinished, most of them had been painted over the years but fortunately they were made with very thick solid 1 inch mahogany and easier to refinish compared to all veneer and plywood boats of later years.
Remodeled heads, with new sinks, tile, and fixtures. All new mattresses in every stateroom. New watercooled, 4 ton AC unit on bridge cools pilothouse and aft deck. All new seastrainers and AC pumps, and thru-hulls installed in 2016. Exterior was stripped to bare aluminum, windows removed and replaced with factory rubber. Exterior hull and topsides were faired with west system fillers, Awlgrip primer and Awlgrip topcoat. All decks and superstructure were faired out with no expense spared she has smooth lines and has no waves as do most aluminum yachts. Deck and exterior hardware were carefully installed with a special isolating technique using isolators made from delrin and nylon to help prevent corrosion due to unlike metals touching. Very time consuming but worth every penny. No one takes the time to do this when they refit these aluminum boats.
Too many upgrades to list, must come see this amazing vessel to appreciate all that has been done. This was not a normal refit, it went way beyond that of normal refits. I used all my years of working on these yachts to make this one a true Gem. FantaSea has been used very little since its restoration. Some exterior wood trim etc. needs refinished again. Rails are good, but exterior just needs spruced back up some, buffing/polishing and britework. She also needs a new bimini top thanks to Irma.
FantaSea has only had two owners in its 57 years. She is a heavy duty ship that has been a pleasure to own and refit. She is ready to have a great new life with a new owner.
«When things weren't working out with my previous Yacht Broker, a friend of mine suggested that I contact Yacht Access to sell my Sea Ray. I contacted Dan Paolillo at Yacht Access and there was absolutely no pressure. After our initial conversation Dan followed up with a list of comparable vessels recently sold and a list of similar vessels currently available with asking prices. After looking over the information we decided on an asking price and within 90 days Dan had my yacht under contract. Two weeks later it was sold. Since then we've kept in close touch and will hopefully be closing on my next vessel soon. After no success selling my 48' Sea Ray Sedan Bridge with my previous broker, calling Yacht Access was the best decision I ever made. I would encourage anyone looking to buy or sell to contact these professionals.»
