Customer Reviews

This is our second time traveling with The Moorings, and our expectations were met and further exceeded. We enjoyed the location, the offerings on the yacht, and the chef and captain went above and beyond to make our experience special.

The base staff were wonderful. The boat was in excellent shape and perfect for our needs. The recommended itinerary was phenomenal. Just an excellent experience all around.

Very responsive and helpful at all stages of the charter.

We had a great time with Captain Jackie and Chef Marlyn. They made sure we were comfortable in every way. Captain Jackie took us to some great places and Marlyn kept us full. We are ready to go back with them next year!

My party and I had an amazing week. It was everything we had hoped for and more!

Well maintained, newer boats. Check in and check out a breeze. Good support from the base.

Our crew, Mario and Antonia were exceptional. They were both extremely professional while also creating a very warm, fun and relaxing environment. Our locations and our food were exceptional.

Beautiful clean boat. Crew was incredible and professional.

From the planning to the end, every one was so helpful!

Great service from your team about getting us ready, great prep materials and help connecting us to our skipper

Simply the best. We had a group of folks with us who’d never sailed with Moorings before and they loved it. I think it was mainly because of Anis & Tery (our Captain & Chef)–they were phenominal.

Great skipper, no hassle service at the base, terrific uncrowded destinations. Overall a great experience in Belize

Good boats, destinatinos, reputation, tradition

Our captain, Ahmad, was amazing! Super cool, chill and asked what we wanted to do! Not only did he deliver, but he went above and beyond!! Our catamaran was absolutely perfect for the two of us!! The staff at The Moorings were very helpful and friendly! Having provisions delivered to the boat made it super easy!! We would love to do it again!! Highly recommend!

Friendly and helpful people all the way through the experience

The Exumas were amazing and cruise experience was great …. and our Skipper Lex was fabulous!

Boat was perfect and clean and spacious
From checking out to checking in everyone was so pleasant

9th charter with you and your staff keeps getting better and better. Can’t wait to book again

Andy and Linzi made the trip! The views and area are stunning, but the two of them were outstanding!

Super staff in Nassau helpful in accommodating my request,

What a fabulous holiday we had sailing around some of the beautiful Croatian islands and coast. Our skipper Max was excellent, accommodating, safe, hugely knowledgeable about the areas we visited, the food, the wines and most importantly he was very respectful. The Moorings marina staff were very friendly and welcoming and made our arrival and exit super easy. We will definitely visit again.

I chartered with The Moorings out of Placencia for a week last month, and the entire experience — from the staff to the boat itself — was great.
From the moment we arrived, the team was organized, welcoming, and happy to help. Check in was smooth, paperwork was quick, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. The chart briefing was thorough without being overwhelming, and they answered every question with patience and confidence. Ours being a bareboat charter, I wish I had asked a few more questions.
The dock crew was equally impressive. They helped with luggage, assisted with provisioning, and made sure we were comfortable on board before departure. On our early morning return, the process was just as efficient — no stress, no confusion. We all made our flights out back to Belize City
Our sailing catamaran was in excellent condition: clean, well maintained, and fully equipped. Systems mostly worked as expected — engines, generator, electronics, galley equipment. VHF radio had some issues and we were challenged with the water maker for a few hours – nothing to impact our trip. The layout was comfortable for our group, with plenty of space to relax, cook, and enjoy the evenings on board.
Overall, this was one of the smoothest charter experiences I’ve had. The combination of a well prepared boat and a professional, friendly staff made the entire trip easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Our chartered Croatia trip way exceeded expectations. Not just because island hopping is amazing. We were fortunate to have Captain Deni and Chef Alex. She was beyond accommodating and cared deeply about the food she prepped and served. Deni briefed us each morning and presented different destination options. If you enjoy long and slow days that are about relaxing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, reading with your family or closest friends, Request Deni and Alex.

We just completed a week long cruise on the El Tropicat, a Leopard 50 catamaran, with Captain Deni and Alex. We were 4 couples + the captain & Alex. It was an amazing time. The locations were picture perfect, and we avoided the crazy Tik-tok crowds we had been warned against.
The weather cooperated- it was warm during the day but cooled down every evening for the perfect outdoor lounging on the boat. Coming from Miami, the weather was such a break from the humidity we endure at this time of year, and we enjoyed the break.
Swimming every day in the Adriatic can’t be emphasized enough. the water was brisk when first getting in, but you quickly acclimatized and it was wonderful.
The food chef Alex prepared was delicious and healthy. One of our party didn’t eat seafood- and since the overall menu was seafood heavy, chef Alex made something special for her each time.
This was our 2nd Moorings adventure, and we can’t wait for the next one.

We had a great time. Some mechanical issues on board. Taken care by my crew.

Sailing the BVI’s is always nice, but getting really expensive and crowded.

Week on WakaWaka w/Captain JP . Had a great time ! JP was a great captain . Not only handle the boat with smoothness and ease but guided us throughout the trip with his knowledge of the islands and where to be at the right time . The boat was both comfortable and well kept . Highly recommend a week with Moorings and Captain JP

My friends and I had the perfect vacation in Croatia sailing around the islands of Korcula, Hvar, and Brac. Our skipper, Josip Boban, was the most amazing skipper we could’ve asked for. He planned where we were sailing, took us to the most beautiful bays, made our dinner reservations, and made sure our trip was as easy and relaxing as possible with an incredibly welcoming demeanor. Could not recommend him more highly for your next vacation. We are ready to come back next year!

We had a very positive experience with Moorings in the BVI. We attended the Moorings/BoatUS floatilla for 7 days. We chartered a 463 power cat, and handled it ourselves, just two of us. We had provisions delivered, but the Mooring Base camp has a great store on site. We spent a night in the hotel the day before. ALL staff were fantastic, and the locals were very friendly. The BVI was fantastic. Our boat, lime n coconut was really nice and had zero problems. Granted, you are chartering, if you have a problem, try to solve it yourself first. For example, I had to purge the water maker, then it worked great.

I had the pleasure of going on a week-long catamaran charter with my friends through The Moorings. We had THE BEST time and our skipper, Josip Boban, went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was well planned and special!!! We sailed from the Split area, exploring new islands and cities each day so that the experience really felt like we were getting as much out of it as possible. Josip was incredibly helpful in making dinner reservations and giving recommendations, as well as finding the most stunning bays to anchor and spend the day! Our trip would not have been the same without him!!

We chartered a 50’ catamaran with the Moorings out of Tortola. It was an amazing adventure with snorkeling every day. The captain and first mate(chef) handled the boat and all the details based on our requests. The sailing was carefree and the captain mastered the waves beautifully. I would highly recommend the Moorings and Flavio and Giovanna.

Our skipper, Chester LeRoux was the best part of our sailing experience. He was always working to make the week the best it could be, and he did. The ship had some technical malfunctions, but they were corrected promptly. We sailed for six days.

If you receive confirmation that Captain Andy and Chef Linzi are your crew aboard McLovin Life, stop reading and start celebrating — you’ve already won.

Our group of 8 adults just completed a week-long charter through the BVI and it exceeded every expectation. Andy is simply one of the best in the business. He navigated us through Cooper Island, The Baths at Virgin Gorda, North Sound, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island — hitting every iconic stop — while making it feel effortless and completely tailored to our group. He knows everyone in the BVI. Dock hands, beach bar owners, taxi drivers — Andy’s network opened doors (and moorings) that a lesser captain simply couldn’t.
But let’s talk about Linzi. Her cooking is flat-out remarkable given that she’s working in a boat galley. From a Caribbean chicken lunch on Day 1 to a curry dinner on the final night, every meal was fresh, creative, and genuinely impressive. And the nibbles — don’t overlook the nibbles. Each evening around sunset, Linzi would appear with something thoughtful and delicious, paired perfectly with whatever Andy had mixed up. It became the nightly ritual our whole group looked forward to.
What sets Andy and Linzi apart from other crews isn’t just the sailing or the food — it’s that they read a group. They know when to hang around and share a laugh and when to give you space to soak it all in. That instinct is rare and it makes all the difference on a week-long boat with 8 people.

Excellent organization and leasing agent for our group. Would highly recommend as the staff was very accommodating and the boat was in excellent condition. Best way yet to get up close and personal to the BVI.

10/10 experience. We hit all of the popular spots and some hidden areas all by Captain Andy’s planning. Chef Lindzi’s cooking 4x a day was also amazing, it was liking sitting down at a nice restaurant every day for food. 10/10 and hope to do it again!

We recently spent an incredible week on Mclovin life with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi. I cannot say enough fabulous things about the both of them. Captain Andy is incredibly well educated and made all of us feel safe during the sails! Chef Linzi made the BEST meals I have ever had. Captain made sure we were all taken care of and had nothing to think about other than relaxing. I would 100% recommend booking a trip with these two specifically!!

Captain Andy and Chef Linzi were amazing. We stayed on a 7-day sailing charter, and the entire trip went smoothly. Linzi’s cooking made it feel like we were enjoying five-star meals three times a day for seven days straight. Every meal was unbelievably delicious, and it amazed us how well-prepared each dish was and how effortlessly she was able to serve eight plates at a time. Captain Andy was an excellent sailor and always made sure we had the best mooring balls closest to shore, making our trips onto land much easier. He also provided so many great recommendations, and every destination we visited was thoughtfully planned and carefully selected. Overall, our experience was an 11/10. Andy and Linzi exceeded all of our expectations and made our sailing trip truly unforgettable!

The moorings catamaran trip out of marina Agana with Captain Dani and Alex was the trip of a lifetime. The captain and host made the trip exceptional, Dani’s relationships and ability to navigate to the best spots and Alex’s delicious meals and service will not be topped.

Wine tastings in Milna, e-bikes in Hvar, swimming and sushi at laganini, military tour in Vis, caves in St. Clements, more wine in Solta. The boat and cabins fit 4 couples comfortably.

Would recommend this trio and hope to return.

First of all – we had an exceptional sailing adventure. Our Skipper was Chester. Simply stated – he was fabulous. His easy style and ability to read and mesh with the various personalities in our group demonstrated a unique and inherent sense of hospitality. I hope all the Mooring skippers enjoy serving guests in the same way. He used his local knowledge to make our sailing adventure the best it could be!

Had the absolute BEST time aboard McLovin Life with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi!!!! Unreal experience – after not knowing anything about what a catamaran entails, I’d trust those two with my life. Andy has extensive knowledge and confidence with the boat and waters, and has Linzi as his first mate and watchful eye. Awesome partnership 🙂 She whipped up the most delicious and balanced nibbles & meals every day!!! Andy and Linzi took us to the most beautiful spots around the BVI, and even ones only some are lucky enough to go to! As an added special surprise, my now-fiance was scheming with Andy & Linzi to create the most perfect, beautiful surprise proposal on Savannah Bay Beach, Virgin Gorda during sunset, which I didn’t see coming or could have ever imagined!! What a dream – A week on McLovin Life sailing around the BVI is one I or the family will never forget. Endless thank you’s to Andy & Linzi for making it so memorable and fun every single day! Hope to be back again!!
