Californian Yachts 48 Sundeck

Fantasea, is a proven cruising motor yacht with just three previous owners and a history that includes completing the Great Loop. After her Loop adventure, she was transported from Florida to St. Croix, where her current owners have made her their comfortable Caribbean home.

Today, Fantasea is located at Green Cay Marina, where her spacious accommodations, generous storage and enormous covered sundeck make her particularly well suited to the liveaboard lifestyle. The marina slip is not included with the sale, but the slip is transferable, offering the next owner an opportunity to continue enjoying the marina and its amenities, including the gym, pool, restaurant, entertainment and community.

This Californian 48 Sundeck offers an impressive amount of usable space both inside and out. The two-stateroom, three-head layout provides privacy and comfort for extended cruising, while the full-beam aft master, large salon, forward galley and expansive sundeck give the boat the feel of a much larger vessel.

Power comes from dependable twin Caterpillar 3208 TA 425 HP diesels, with approximately 2,350–2,370 hours reported in the detailed engine information. The vessel also carries a 16 kW Kohler generator, reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating, substantial fuel and water capacity, and a comprehensive collection of cruising equipment.

Fantasea has received a substantial list of improvements over the years, including bottom paint, updated sanitary systems and pumps, new davits, cockpit cushions, Stamoid bimini, updated Isinglass, new laminate flooring, upgraded salon furnishings, a new smart TV, generator work and more.

Whether your plans call for living aboard in the Caribbean, extended coastal cruising, island hopping or another Great Loop adventure, Fantasea offers the space, equipment and proven cruising history to make the journey comfortable.

She is a rare combination of volume, capability, storage and livability in a proven 48-foot package.
