News: The Moorings wins 2025 Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Award in the Things To Do category for its charter operations in the British Virgin Islands. Receiving the prestigious award for the 5th consecutive year The Moorings once again demonstrates its ongoing commitment to delivering outstanding sailing vacations on award-winning yachts in premium locations backed by 55+ years of experience in the yacht charter industry.

“We are thrilled to have been awarded this award once again,” says Ian Pedersen, Senior Marketing Manager for The Moorings. “It is a testament to the hard work that has gone into rebuilding our flagship destination in the past few years, and a validation that the changes we have implemented are having the desired positive impact for our guests.”
In 2023 The Moorings announced a series of updates to the British Virgin Islands fleet and marina facility, in many ways completing projects which have been ongoing since Hurricane Irma in 2017. From newly constructed docks to a new on-site supermarket, a completely renovated hotel and an influx of new, state-of-the-art yachts, The Moorings BVI operation has undergone a complete transformation in the past few years.
There is no better time to experience a charter vacation with The Moorings in the BVI. Whether it is your first time visiting, or if you are eager to return, we invite you to set sail with The Moorings and join the thousands of guests who have enjoyed this unique experience. We look forward to making your next charter the best one yet.
Had an amazing family vacation with our adult children and significant others. This is our second Moorings trip to BVI. Both were spectacular. Our Calvin (captain), Katie (chef) and their boat (Jolly Mon) were exceptional. Highly recommend this trip and The Moorings.
Let’s start with the Mooring Hotel in Tortola where we stayed for 1 night prior to boarding our catamaran. It was outstanding, bar, food, pool, a little ship, liquor store.
The Catamaran was fantastic. 6 suites (one for the Capitan and Cook. Spacious and everything worked.
The food… wow !! No reason to go to restaurants around. You will not eat better food.
All the requested drinks were on board.
I do scuba and snorkel, and brought my mask. Their equipment on board was great. If I knew, I wouldn’t have brought it.
The Capitan was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
We were able to Bluetooth into the ship’s stereo. We played and dance throughout the trip.
I had questions and concerns about cell phone reception in this trip. We all left behind kids and our practices, reason for the concern. I ended buying the Garmin inReach. I’m glad to inform that there was signal EVERYWHERE we went. I never touched the Garmin.
I strongly recommend this trip.
Our week spent in BVI with our Captain (Romano) and Chef Silvia was amazing. Romano kept us safe and accommodated our needs and got along so well with our group.
Silvia worked so hard to make special meals for us, all delicious and beautifully presented at each sitting. They took such good care of the boat, as if it was their own home.
The islands were beautiful, the water was crystal clear, and the company was great!
Thank you Romano and Silvia for taking such good care of us and making our vacation so special! We hope to sail with you again!
We chose a 53’ power cat, sailing from Tortola, BVI, that was super luxurious. It was sparkling clean, in perfect condition, had great a/c, four very large state rooms, was very quiet even while underway and had a dingy. We decided to hire a captain and I think it’s the only way to go. He knew the best dive spots, where to stop for emergency rum (yes, it’s a thing!), he would take the dingy and keep an out when just one person wanted to dive (safe practice) and made dinner reservations for us at great beachfront restaurants. He was so fun we invited him to dinner most nights. Moorings marina in Tortola is incredible having a large pool, multiple grocery stores, gorgeous bar, lovely restaurant and attentive service throughout the entire operation. We had a service issue on the boat and a repair crew was provided quickly to remedy the problem. We would definitely use Moorings again.
One of my best vacations ever!!! The Power Catamaran was in almost perfect conditions. The marina is very clean and beautiful as always. Obviously the islands and the most beautiful waters in the world. But, what set Moorings apart, is the service and the people working there. Hoping to go back next year.
The Moorings bareboat charter was amazing. Our trip through the Windward Islands was relaxing yet full of adventure. We started in St Lucia and ended in Grenada, our 9-day journey on our 46′ power catamaran was filled with snorkeling, hiking, and exploring. I highly recommend a Moorings charter, and they offer captains if you don’t want to do it yourself. They also have a ton of destinations.
We had the most unforgettable birthday trip for our friend in the BVI with Moorings! Our crew, Captain Romano and Chef Silvia, made the week absolutely perfect—Romano made every day seamless, from navigating the beautiful islands to planning the perfect spots for snorkeling, beach days, and sunset views. He made sure our itinerary balanced adventure and relaxation, and we always felt safe and well cared for, and Silvia’s meals were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious! Sailing with 4 couples, endless laughs, and stunning views made this a trip of a lifetime!
Wow! I didn’t know what to expect from our 5 night trip but I couldn’t have imagined the paradise we experienced. Francesco and Nika are a dynamic team and made our trip unforgettable. From the delicious meals prepped on the boat to the nightly mooring locations and the snorkeling excursions – everything was first class. Each day it got better and better! Highly recommend!
We had the most amazing week on “Happy Endings” (5800) with Captain Dale & our cook, the angel of the Caribbean, Jan! The boat is beautiful and spacious. Our family of 4 sailed in early July…the weather was perfect and we enjoyed the low crowds. We did encounter some jelly fish and seaweed which kept us from being able to snorkel and/or enjoy some of the beaches, but there were plenty of other amazing spots to enjoy so it all worked out! The boat was so clean and in great condition, Jan made sure of that every day. Jan made us the most delicious meals and was always so thoughtful to ask what we liked and would prefer. She took the best care of us in so many ways and always kept our bathrooms and our rooms so clean. We just can’t say enough and we really hope to sail again with this crew and Moorings!
My family and I have now sailed around the BVI through the Moorings 14 times over the past 30 years. The boats are great and handle well, and the staff is top notch. We plan on returning again in 2027.
We loved our trip and Our Chef Lauren was amazing! She and our Captain, Levi, are the best! To please our party of 9 was not an easy task but they did it with ease!
We had the most wonderful time. Andel and Josena were the most wonderful hosts! the boat was super clean and the food outstanding!!!! The vacation was a dream come true!! Thank you!
We had an incredible vacation with Captain Cosy and Chef Jan!! This was my first sailing experience, and is now my favorite kind of vacation! Cosy and Jan created a wonderful relaxing atmosphere where everything was taken care of. We had a perfect combination of relaxing and activity. Cosy provided great advice on where to go and what to do, and Jan made the most amazing food – no need to eat at any island restaurant! You won’t find better!! They took all our preferences in for food and drink, and the entire experience was amazing!! I can’t wait to do a sail vacation again, preferably with Cosy and Jan!
