Customer Reviews

Our captain Luka was incredible and provided a great experience. Our boat was gorgeous and new.

Staff were responsive, helpful and kind. The boat was in great condition and well maintained.

the ease and organization of everthing put our mind at ease as we booked this vacation

Our crew, Calvin and Katie, were absolutely amazing! They provided a first class experience on the Jolly Mon. This is our second sail with the Moorings and it was by far our best. Thanks so much for an awesome experience!

The vacation was wonderful. The sailing was good and the Captain and chef was excellent.

The cruising in the Abacos and Exumas provides plenty of island hopping, snorkeling and beautiful views.

Boat was clean and in great condition. Skipper Milan was amazing. Croatia is a great place to yacht in.

Best vacation experience we’ve had as a family. It was great to have the freedom to visit many different beautiful locations on a daily basis and the yacht was comfortable and easy for the whole family.

The continuous improvement efforts in both boats and service have been impressive

We were extremely grateful to have Andel as our Captain and Kay as our chef. As our first experience sailing the BVI with you we could not have asked for a better team. We feel like we left extending our family . They were just amazing. The catamaran and the itinerary was perfect. It was the best vacation we have ever had!

The captain and crew were fantastic. The boat was clean with all the amenities that we needed. The food was great, we may have ate too much but that is what vacations are for. Weather was amazing that week and the Captain and Crew did everything we asked and then some.

The entire experience was amazing start to finish!!

Fantastic from beginning quoting process to returning the boat to the dock. Best vacation I’ve ever taken and it blew my wife away!

The ease of booking and great staff to answer questions! Provisioning is easy and onboarding/offboarding is always flexible.

Theo & Martina (our crew) made it a unique, tailored, and unforgettable experience. Because of them, we will have memories that will last us a lifetime!

Boat was well maintained and staff was excellent to work with

Good times, great boat!

The arrival was smooth. Sassy was amazing and answered all the questions. Was very pleasant and made personally sure that all our concerns were addressed.

Great experience from beginning to end. Especially the skill of Capt. Will Stuart. He was wonderful to share a week with.

Everything was top-notch from The Moorings! But, what made our trip extra special was our crewed yacht’s Captain and Chef! Andy and Linzi created a perfect 8-day itinerary for our group of 6. This was our second round on Seas the Day, and we’ll definitely be back!

We went on a 7-day crewed trip through the BVI’s on the 534 Power Cat, Blue Eyes. The Mooring is very professional and well run. All the necessary paperwork was taken care of ahead of time and the check-in process was quick and easy. Our crew Jos and Chevone were outstanding and delivered an amazing experience that exceeded our expectations. We had an introduction call a week before the trip with Jos and Chevone and they provided many helpful tips (apply for a fishing license) along with asking us detailed questions about what activities we wanted to do. We started the trip with an outstanding champagne lunch on board the first day. The food was amazing, and they threw a wonderful birthday party for my wife including a homemade chocolate cake. The snorkeling and beaches were outstanding. On the nights we went ashore for dinner their recommendations were excellent, and they arranged all of the reservations and transportation. This was one of the most relaxing and stress-free vacations any of us had ever taken. Our whole group said this was vacation of a lifetime and everyone can’t wait to book our next trip! We can’t thank Jos and Chevone enough for such a wonderful trip and experience.

We had a great time on our bareboat charter in the British Virgin Islands. The only downside is having to go through The Moorings. Poorly ran company, poor communication and they simply just do not care about the customer. They have gotten so big that they do not have the bandwidth or resources to provide proper customer service.

Once we left the dock, it was fantastic, especially because of our captain, Captain Giacomo! He was simply the best. Giacomo took care of us from the minute we stepped on the boat. Instantly you could tell that he was there to make sure we had the best experience possible for our voyage. He was extremely thorough in helping us put together an itinerary to make sure we could maximize the time we had on the boat. (on this note I would recommend that the moorings allow communication between the captain and the guest so an itinerary can be put together before getting on the boat) Giacomo was very attentive to our request and made sure that all guest on the charter were comfortable. I could not be more happy with Giacomo and would recommend that anyone going on a charter to do whatever they can to reserve him to be their captain!

I would say that the only reason this is a 4 star review is because of Giacomo. If the company was smart they would look to hire 100 more of Giacomo!

The Moorings is not easy to work with and they definitely do not appreciate the amount of time and money people spend to go on these trips.

We chartered a 4500L with friends and family for 5 days and had the best time. This is truly the trip of a lifetime and there is nothing like it.

Captain Giacomo (“Captain Jack”) was such an incredible captain and fit for our group. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and accommodating. He did a great job at hitting all of the spots that we wanted to see as well as recommending slight changes to our plans for smoother logistics or more beautiful views. He had our mooring balls reserved every morning at 7AM on the dot and was well prepared the entire trip. He became a great friend to us all and we look forward to calling him when we are ready to charter again!

Moorings in Placencia, Belize never disappoints and constantly exceeds all expectations! From the initial booking process, pre-deaprture communications, support & preparations, attention to detail and coordinate with the Moorings Belize management team and base crew, amazing welcome & embarkation process, fantastic quality of the yacht, to the seamless debarkation process (even though it’s terribly sad – you simply never want to leave!), Moorings Belize and its team are simply the best – a cut far above any other potential alternative. I cannot recommend highly enough!

What a spectacular week with our four young adult children! Capt Andy making sure we maximized our adventures and Chef Linzi preparing over the top impressive meals. Every day we enjoyed Linzi’s “nibbles” with drinks to watch the sunset. We will be back!

Absolute trip of a lifetime! Perfect combination of adventure and relaxation plus the best food for every single meal! We chartered Captain Andy and Chef Lenzi who made sure every aspect of the trip was amazing. This is our 2nd trip with them and I couldn’t recommend them more.

Just got back from another trip on a moorings sailing catamaran. This time we sailed the Cays of Belize. The boat and the staff were great. Practically new boat and when we did have an issue, the repair team came to remedy it within the hour. Don’t know why anyone would charter a boat from any other company. Great job!

The overall the sailing experience in the BVI was incredible. However, The Mooring fell short of my expectations. Upon arrival to Tortola, we stayed in The Moorings lodging after a 12-hour travel day. I was looking forward to a hot shower, but there was no hot water in our room. The Mooring Staff was not friendly, and it was very uninviting. It was as if they were entitled.

The Moorings messed up on our provisions and we lost 2 hours of sailing time obtaining the correct provisions had we originally ordered. The oven on the sailing vessel did not work and the barbeque was very marginal. And one of the coolers for ice leaked. When we follow-up up on our concerns, the Customer Service was not at all helpful or willing to make things right.

We did love our Captain! JP was great…he was responsible, fun and very accommodating. He knew what he was doing, and he made us feel very safe.

I am looking forward to my next sailing trip in the BVI, but it will not be through The Moorings.

Had a wonderful time in the BVI’s! Our Captain Jack went above and beyond all week! The places he suggested to visit were breathtaking. We will definitely be requesting Captain Jack on our next BVI trip!

We are a family of five and have previously rented with Moorings in the BVI, where my husband served as captain. In Croatia, due to local regulations, a licensed skipper is required unless you hold a special certification. Initially, we were hesitant about having a captain onboard for the week — but we couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised.

Ivan, our skipper, was exceptional. As an active family that enjoys adventure, we had a packed itinerary, and he made it all seamless. He took us to the most stunning coves and ensured that we ended each day in a charming, picturesque town. His restaurant recommendations were always spot on, and he was incredibly attentive to everyone’s needs, from the teens to the adults.

To be honest, our week sailing the Croatian coast was one of the best experiences of our lives. Saying goodbye was truly emotional. The boats in Agana were also in excellent condition — even better maintained than what we’ve seen from the Moorings fleet in the BVI. We booked the same class of yacht in both locations, but the difference in upkeep and presentation was noticeable.

Though we usually prefer to travel independently, having Ivan with us turned out to be a stroke of luck. He made our trip richer, more relaxing, and full of hidden gems we would have never found on our own.

Highly recommended — we can’t wait to return!

Amazing time! Accommodations were top notch! Our skipper took us to all the cool places to see the ocean wildlife!
Also nice to eat dinner at local restaurants in the evening when docked!

My friends and I recently chartered Seas the Day, a 50’ Catamaran crewed by Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. This was a birthday present to myself that will be remembered as the best trip I’ve ever had! Captain Andy and Chef Linzi orchestrated every little detail in a way that felt both leisurely and packed with fun activities. The bonus “chart talk” with Captain Andy is well worth the daily listen — I gained a new appreciation for how exacting and complicated nautical navigation really is. Captain Andy is a pro and, as a person only mildly comfortable in the water, I felt super safe with Captain Andy at all times. Then there is Chef Linzi whose culinary skills and artful presentation were on display four times a day for our pleasure. We ate on land only once because we did not want to miss a single delicious meal made by Chef Linzi. Their respective skills are only matched by the fact that they are lovely individuals whose goal truly is to deliver the best and most memorable vacation possible for their guests. I would/will do this trip again without reservation — but only if Andy and Linzi are the crew.

We had a great time on our 5 day sailing adventure. The food was both delicious and presented beautifully. We really felt pampered. We enjoyed going to Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock Norman Island, Jost van dyke and many snorkeling spots. I was the only SCUBA diver on the trip and Andy made it extremely easy to enjoy a morning of Scuba diving. We loved their humor and easy going attitude. Especially enjoyed Capt Andy s chart talks. They packed so much into the 5 days that we felt that it was longer. Have them take you to Sandy Cay. Fun times

The whole process was top notch. We were extremely impressed with Captain Shem Samuels.. he was very respectful of our space. He was instrumental in helping us structure our itinerary everyday as well as assist in making dinner reservations as needed. Planning on coming back next year!!

The Moorings trip in the BVI’s leaving Tortola was a special vacation experience. The customer service provided by The Moorings prior to the trip was spot on and helped us plan and provision our week. Being able to sleep aboard the catamaran the night before departure was nice and allowed the group to be prepared, understand the boat and be ready to start our journey early the next morning.
We had a captain (Marlon) provided by Moorings who exceeded our expectations. Marlon was clearly knowledgeable of the boat, sailing and the Carribean. Marlon seemed to know people at every stop and was able to help us pick everything from the best restaurants and bars to secluded beaches.
This trip was fantastic all around and I would suggest The Moorings to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Best Family Trip!! Our family of 8 absolutely loved the week spent aboard Seas the Day with Capt Andy and Linzi! From the moment we boarded everything was excellent!! Everyday Capt Andy sailed us to a different island to beautiful beach’s and bars! They knew all of the best snorkeling spots that we stopped at along the way!! Every meal Linzi made and served us was amazing and the presentation was always beautiful! Each night for happy hour Linzi made nibbles and a signature drink of the night as we watched the sunsets and talked about what we would do the next day!! We all agreed this was our favorite trip and can’t wait to set sail again!!

This trip was so much fun. Andy and Linzi were the most kind, joyful, and knowledgeable people. They made the experience feel perfect. For going to beautiful beaches and location day to day to the amazing food all week. This trip on Seas The Day was one I will never forget.

The trip was awesome. We were on Seas the Day with Andy and Linzi who made the trip amazing. They took us to the coolest places and made the best food. They are the nicest and best people to do this trip with.

After taking a week-long catamaran trip with Captain Andy and Lindzi, I can say it was nothing short of incredible! They were so knowledgeable and extremely friendly. On the moorings “Seas the day”, We got to see secluded beaches, eat amazing food, and sail the most beautiful waters! I have zero complaints! They made everything so seamless and easy, truly feeling like a vacation. I would highly recommend to any family or group of friends. Hoping I can return one day!

Such an amazing trip! We had Captain Andy and Linzi, and they were absolutely incredible, making the trip perfect! Very welcoming and great hospitality. They took us to all the good spots that they knew and made sure we got the best out of everything. We had 8 of us and were very comfortable on the boat. The food was amazing, courtesy of Mrs. Linzi. Don’t overpack, you won’t need it!
