Program History
The Moorings was founded in 1969 by Charlie and Ginny Cary. Charlie offered the first yacht ownership program in 1971 in the British Virgin Islands with a fleet of just 6 boats. This was the foundation of the Moorings Yacht Ownership Program today.
We now have over 29 destinations and offer ownership opportunities in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, South Pacific, Indian Ocean, Mexico, and The Bahamas.
Worry-Free Yacht Ownership
Owning a sailing yacht through The Moorings is the most cost effective way to own the yacht of your dreams without worrying about the hassles and expenses of traditional ownership.
When your yacht is managed by The Moorings, you will arrive to an impeccable yacht, and never worry about maintenance or operating costs. You receive a guaranteed income every month, plus enjoy extensive usage on your own yacht or a sister ship worldwide. Moorings ownership is the finest way to own from the company that pioneered the yacht charter business. Nobody does it better than The Moorings.
Our program’s success is a result of our commitment to meeting the needs of both owners and charter customers. We follow a strategic plan where yachts and specifications are carefully chosen and destinations determined. Yachts are entered into the reservation systems months before delivery. Our state-of-the-art reservations and yacht management system enables us to follow your yacht’s
activities with real-time precision.

"I suggest to anyone with an interest in sailing/boat ownership to consider this program. We will most likely restart the program again after our current boat phases out."
