Yacht Charter and Sailing Vacations with The Moorings

Moorings makes it very easy to charter a boat. This is my 12th charter and I’ve never been disappointed.

Perfect Crew! Theo and Martina on Vitamin Sea were outstanding!

Great staff at base primary reason

The entire experience surpassed my expectations.

The experience was seamless. Boat well maintained, office and maintenance staff very friendly and helpful, and we had a great trip!

In June 2025, 6/18-6/23, we had the pleasure to sail out of BVI Moorings with Capt Romano and Silvia. This was our 4th sailing with the Moorings and sailing in BVI, our second c=fully chartered – the only way to go    Capt Romano is a very capable sailor and captain – it’s obvious he enjoys sailing and what he does. He runs a tight ship, and I like it that way. It’s so easy to get injured in so many ways aboard a vessel, specially a multi deck sailing yacht. Capt R always keeps an eye out for hidden danger or careless passengers/guests. An injury can instantly turn a dream vacation into a nightmare – for all.   On this sailing, we were extremely fortunate in that the weather and winds fully cooperated – blue skies and gentle breezes accompanied the entire trip….and Capt R put those sails to work, which made for an added experience – truly priceless! As previously mentioned, we’ve sailed the BVI islands on several occasions; HOWEVER, Capt R managed to show us areas of BVI we had not visited or even knew existed. Every morning we’d find ourselves waiting to a serene bay, surrounded by amazing vistas – the best part, we had it ALL to ourselves with no other boat in sight.   Capt Romano’s skills and knowledge of the islands in BVI make for a wonderful trip! He takes pride in showing his guests the best of BVI and the many secluded beaches/bays that it has to offer – and his “pain killers” are the best!   Our chef was Silvia. She and the Capt. made a great team, which contributed to a great experience. Silvia is a good cook and takes pride in her dishes. I’m a meat and potatoes guy. However, due to some miscommunication we ended up with a different menu. In the end, it worked out great! Her meals were very tasty with more of a Mediterranean flare – which my crew enjoyed, especially my wife! Side note, we almost did not make it to this trip-my wife was battling pancreatic cancer. However, she finished her treatment just in time and her doctors gave her the green light to travel. Silvia’s healthy Mediterranean did wonders for my wife – she’s very limited as to what she can eat and what doesn’t upset her stomach.   Cons The Moorings needs to “refresh” the rooms in their hotel. True, they have had poor luck with the hurricanes. However, if others were able to rebuild/refresh so can they. While we’re at – make sure to visit Bitter End Yacht Club-they’ve done an awesome job rebuilding.

My room was top drawer and the hotel property had great amenities including pool bar, restaurant and spa. I had read some troubling reviews before arriving but my experience was the opposite: helpful staff, good food, beautiful property and my room was to die for.

Spent a wonderful week with friends on a sailing adventure in BVI. Our captain and chef Andel and Josane were nothing short of wonderful. They made our experience just spectacular. Already can’t wait to return. Highly recommend this crew and the Moorings.

The 5 day charter exceeded our expectations! The food prepared by Mark was amazing. Our Captain, Lucy, always went above and beyond to give us the best experience and places to see. Top vacation!

Our crew was fabulous, Lucy and Mark were extremely professional and a pleasure to be around. We loved our boat and they kept it neat and organized the entire trip. The food was wonderful! Even with picky eaters everyone was very happy with our meals. Dessert each night was a wonderful surprise.

This was my third charter with The Moorings and, as always, I want to highlight the attentive service, willingness, and ability to resolve every situation promptly. A special recognition goes to Janel for her dedication and constant support.

Very well kept boats and facilities. Staff is courteous and professional.

Moorings delivered as advertised. Great experience! Our skipper Marlon knocked it out of the park. He was not only an experienced captain but became part of our family. My grandkids loved him and he was great with them. His network of friends in the BVI made our vacation more memorable and spontaneous the we could have planned. We’re there in the off season and because of Marlon’s connections we had five star lobster dinner at sunset on the beach in Anagoda. We were the only family on the beach and had exceptional personalized service. I can’t say enough good about Captain Marlon.

We’ve been sailing with the moorings since 2002… always enjoyed it !!
