Customer Reviews

From booking to checkout Moorings was organized and dedicated to ensuring a pleasant and safe bareboat experience.

We had the most amazing experience with The Moorings in October! Our group included four adults and four children, and every part of the trip was outstanding. The boat was in excellent condition, clearly well-maintained and fully equipped to make our journey comfortable and worry-free.

Our captain was fantastic—knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to our needs. He made sure we had a smooth, enjoyable trip, taking us to stunning spots that were perfect for our group. The kids had a great time, and we all felt safe and well looked after.

Thank you, The Moorings, for helping create such wonderful memories. We’ll definitely be chartering with you again in the future!

This was our third charter and Moorings never disappoints.

Amazing service and experience

Croatia is a beautiful place to sail. The staff and all Moorings employees at Marina Agana are absolutely wonderful to deal with. We’ve sailed Moorings from Agana several times so it’s really nice to see everyone again. The guy that does the boat briefing is wonderful and extremely knowledgeable.

Awesome crew; very friendly and knowledgeable; delicious food; covered a lot of sights in one week.

An excellent experience. The boat was in great shape and sailed well. The best was the staff at Agana base. They were proactive, professional and very helpful with any requests we had. I would recommend Moorings and Agana Base without hesitation.

Our Croatian sailing adventure with The Moorings was flawless. From the outset, The Moorings staff made every detail easy. The online details were simple, accurate, very thorough and the entire process was very efficient. They handled all of the details, down to helping arrange transportation to and from the marina. This all made first time sailing a breeze. Our 50′ catamaran was quite comfortable and completely stocked. Our captain, Deni, was the best. He planned and executed a perfect itinerary. His morning briefings started each day. But can I rave a bit about our chef, Aleks? She prepared and served the most delicious meals each day and was such a pleasure to be around. I can not recommend The Moorings in Croatia highly enough – especially if you are lucky enough to have Deni and Aleks as your crew.

Your company is easy to work with, the website is user friendly and it is a great product for a good price

The boat was clean and well equipped. The skipper was very knowledgeable and quite willing to help us have a great trip.

After 50 years plus years you guys make chartering easy.

Staff was organized and great. The boat was clean and ready. Everything was as it should be.

This is our third Moorings trip. Each one tops the previous. Guaranteed great food, great agenda and great trip

The Moorings team members were all professional, helpful, and engaged. The vessel was exceptionally well prepared, clean, well outfitted, and in great working order. The briefs were helpful.

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.

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.

Moorings upgraded our party to a 50 foot catamaran and kept our cost the same for the 42 foot catamaran we originally booked. The boat was immaculate and ready to go on time. The Moorings reception was streamlined, polite and a positive experience. In the past I have captained my own yacht, but having never been to Croatia before we opted for a hired skipper. We were assigned Captain Edi who had been leading charters in Croatia for 18 years. I’m so glad we did this because he was thoroughly knowledgeable about the area and took us to all the best places. We had spectacular stops everyday and excellent overnight stopovers. He seemed to know everyone at each place and called ahead for dinner reservations and other special amenities we had requested. It was like sailing with a new good friend having Edi aboard with us. He taught me a lot about differences between sailing and mooring in the Med versus the Caribbean and he did it with a humble grace that I appreciated. We will definitely sail again in Croatia because of its cleanliness, zero crime and utter beauty….Dave

Our group had a great time with Romano and Silvia! Everything about the trip was top notch. Romano was great with finding us great spots to snorkel and swim. Silvia was the constant host and her meals were delicious. Highly recommend a trip with them!

This was our third charter in three years. This year we went with another family and chartered a 50′ catamaran. There were the usual glitches with provisioning but having the grocery store at the marina is a game changer. We really liked the improvements to the marine especially the coffee shop. The boat was in great condition and we had such fun.

Our trip to the BVI was wonderful. Moorings was super easy to work with. Incredibly helpful. The boat was well maintained and when we had an issue, they’re very responsive to help us fix it. We went during end of August, which was great most places were shut down and not too many tourists so we really were able to explore a lot of the islands. I would highly recommend chartering with Moorings.

Agana was a magical experience! We loved everything about this trip – the culture, the food, the people we encountered and the beautiful water and towns along the way. This was out first chartered trip where we did a mixture of moorings in bays and in the towns and it was lovely. I highly recommend this destination for a mix of relaxation and culture all in one.

We had the absolute best time sailing Belize with Captain Dan! From day one, he made our family feel at home with his easygoing, fun personality and nonstop positive energy. He was amazing with our kids — patient, fun, and always making sure they were having the time of their lives.

The sea life was out of this world — we saw sharks, sea turtles, barracuda, lionfish, rays, lobster, tons of reef fish, a gentle manatee, and even got to help release baby sea turtles at Ranguana Caye. Snorkeling at Tobacco Caye, Ray Caye, Laughing Bird Caye, and Ranguana was unforgettable, and Dan always seemed to know the perfect spots to drop anchor.

On top of all that, he somehow managed to catch us fresh fish every single day — nothing beats eating right out of the ocean with a cold drink in hand. Between the incredible wildlife, the amazing snorkeling, and Dan’s charm and care, it was the trip of a lifetime.

If you get the chance to sail with Captain Dan, do it — you’ll have the adventure you’ve been dreaming of.

Just back from the most magical week sailing in the crystal blue waters of Croatia. Our beautiful catamaran Xanadu was so comfortable, I slept so well every night! Our Skipper found a fantastic mix of marina stops and moorings and fabulous restaurants. We also got a fantastic welcome back to the base in Agana where the staff were so helpful and facilities lovely and clean. Thank you to all at Moorings for such an unforgettable week.

The staff at Agana base are brilliant from top to bottom. Mirna who did our chart briefing knows everything about the area and everyone worth knowing and can provide a list of contacts to help with your itinerary. Our 40′ catamaran was well maintained with the exception of a faulty anchor light.

A couple of things to note for sailors from North America. Firstly, you need to have formal, internationally recognized sailing qualifications. An ICC and an SRC VHF license are both required to skipper a boat. Otherwise, you’ll need a skipper. Secondly, you need to be very comfortable with driving the boat backwards and Mediterranean mooring as that’s how it’s done in every marina.

Also, be aware that it’s necessary to make marina and, quite often, restaurant reservations in advance and both can be quite pricy particularly when they’re the only game in town.

All in all, Croatia is a beautiful country where pretty much everyone under the age of 40 speaks English fluently and will go out of their way to be helpful. We’ll definitely be back!

The best experience exploring all around the Croatian islands for 2 weeks on a 50ft sail cat! The yacht was in excellent condition. Captain Edi made our adventure extra amazing! He planned a perfect itinerary for us and knew exactly what activities, restaurants and spots to recommend for our group! We had a blast with him!

Romano and Silvia were the best crew , they became our new friends. They created the perfect environment in the boat and we learned a lot of the BVI

Catamaran was clean, very good condition, we had groceries delivered directly to the boat which was great. Very modern, comfortable.
The welcome crew were great, explained all without any rush.

Gathering memories with Romano and Silvia, along with our family, was an exciting and pleasurable experience. We are grateful to have visited beautiful places and while dining on Silvia’s delicious food. Thanks for the memories!

Another outstanding experience from The Moorings. Skipper Egbert and Chef Rowland excel at their jobs; this was my 4th catamaran charter with Moorings/Sunsail out of Placencia: crewed in August ’23, bareboat in ’24, and crewed with Moorings and bareboat with Sunsail in Aug ’25. Diego Coc at the Moorings base is outstanding at the front desk. There were issues that came up, and were dealt with.

The most BEAUTIFUL water and sights! Our family of 5 took a sailing trip to the BVI’s and it was pretty epic. My husband was our captain and did a great job. Myself and our three young adult daughters were the crew–we weren’t the best but we managed! My husband was in his glory the entire 6 days. The girls and I wore down with the sailing, the boat, the water, etc. by the end but we still had a great time. The boat was amazing and well equipped. Like glamping on the water. We loved visiting the different islands for coffee, dinner, shopping, the beach, etc. and used the dinghy to do so. Snorkeling was fantastic especially at Norman Island and the Dogs. Loved our dip in the Bubbly pool at Jost Van Dyke and the Baths are not to be missed on Virgin Gorda! If I had to do it again, I think a combo trip of land and sea would be best, but we still had a fabulous time. A trip of a lifetime really!

We did a crewed charter in the BVIs on a power catamaran with captain Lucy Rees and chef Mark Gilby. Every detail on the trip was nothing short of amazing. The BVIs are simply gorgeous, every stop was perfect, great snorkeling, swimming, good beach bars and restaurants at various stops. The boat was in excellent condition, lots of comfortable relaxing space and living on the boat for 5 days was fantastic! Lastly, we had the best crew ever! Lucy was very relaxed and accommodating, always wanting to personalize our experience and cater to our every need while making sure we were safe and the boat was operating without any issues. Mark who calls himself ‘just a sailor who also cooks’ is way underestimating his culinary skills! every meal was amazing! They were fun to travel with and I hope to repeat the whole experience soon!

We spent a fantastic week sailing on El Capitat and Xanadu with family and friends around Brac, Solta and Hvar. Everything was absolutely perfect as were our captains Dino and Mirjana. We will definitely do it again !

Silvia and Romano made an excellent team and were super friendly and knowledgeable. They listened to our suggestions and were flexible with our itinerary changes. Although we’ve chartered several times, we were introduced to many new places and excellent snorkeling. Wish we could stay longer! Excellent trip and the crew made all the difference!

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.
