Customer Reviews

The booking of the charter was seamless, the salespeople were knowledgeable and helpful. It was an absolute pleasure

Chef Rebecca and Captain Rachel were outstanding. We have done this trip three times and this was out best trip yet.

The Moorings Customer Service was excellent. everyone was friendly and the boat was outstanding.

The boat was very well designed and comfortable. We never felt we were cramped as there were multiple areas to relax, eat and enjoy the view. The crew was even better. Nothing makes me smile more than seeing people take pride in their work.

Great boat, great service and the most beautiful venue… the BVI’s are the best!

It is an all around amazing vacation experience.

Allie and Pete were wonderful by listening to our requests and accommodating to us. They went above and beyond by decorating for one of our guests’ birthdays and even making fresh squeezed lemonade at request. Everything went very smooth, and we enjoyed our week on board.

This was our 4th trip with the Moorings and we were very satisfied with the experience once again.

This is the 5th or 6th time I’ve chartered and the vessels and experiences are great!

Top notch customer service

The service provided by Immy and Ellen was second to none. First class all the way.

The experience, boat condition and overall location. All these things combined made for an excellent trip.

Skipper Alex Haywood was fantastic. The boat was amazing. Great support on the planning of the trip.

I’ve chosen The Moorings in recent years because they offer well-maintained yachts supported by professional, courteous and helpful staff.

The customer service was awesome. We have chartered 5 times now. The third time we tried someone else and it was a train wreck. Now we know what to appreciate from a great team. Thank you!

Boat was well maintained and ready on time. The support was great. Most importantly, our Captain Henry Tucker guided us to a very nice sailing vacation with no worry and maximum adventure. What a great person!!!

Everything was smooth sailing! You guys sure have worked out the kinks and are extremely helpful!

Everything from start to finish was flawless. Our time on E-Ticket with Pete and Allie was amazing

Great experience overall. Jamba (Kevin) Chinnery was an absolute gem and we would go out of our way to connect with him on a next trip.

5 star crew and boat. Captain had valuable local knowledge of BVI. Food was excellent onboard.

This trip was a life time experience, and bucket list trip. We traveled with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi and they were absolutely amazing. Andy took us to the best sports, and taught us about sailing along the way. Linzi made some of the best food I have ever had. All along they were great company to be with. When I do this trip again I will be sure to do it with them.

We ladies (mothers/daughters) and friends had a wonderful experience on our seven-day cruise thru the BVIs. It more than met our expectations! Captain Giacomo was super-friendly, easy to get along with and had great suggestions for places to visit and explore and for restaurants. He was very attentive to our requests, was very professional, and we all enjoyed his
company and the whole trip overall. We would definitely recommend this excursion to all – thank you to The Moorings!

Great boats, fantastic service, and there to help.
All within one of the world best sailing sites. Perfect winds and beautiful anchorages. Lobsters and conch.

We have been sailing the BVI with Mooring Charters for 20 years! This trip was just another amazing experience. The BVI is a perfect place to see beautiful water and welcoming islands. We chartered a Moorings 5000 sail cat that was perfect for our needs. Thank you Moorings for always providing exceptional service!

We had a great bareboat experience sailing in the Abacos. Chelsea at the Moorings was very welcoming and made sure our boat was provisioned and was ready for our sail. We hired Captain Tony for the day to get familiar with the boat and the shallow waters of the Abacos. He also suggested great places to anchor and visit that were less busy with excellent snorkeling. Cannot say enough good things about Captain Tony. The Abacos really is a great place to sail and enjoy the beautiful Bahama waters and Cays. We sailed the Leopard 5000 and it was a great sailing boat. The Moorings check out was easy and efficient. They had a pilot meet us at the fuel dock to return the boat to its slip. My wife and I really recommend the Moorings as the boats are new and well maintained. The staff are great.

This trip was unbelievable! Every single day was the most beautiful experience. Our captain/crew made everything so wonderful. It truly was smooth sailing 😉

We had a blast sailing from island to island. This part of the world really is a special place that we are blessed to have gotten to experience. The sailing, snorkeling, the food, the Baths, the caves, 3 Indians, the Bitter End, The soggy Dollar, the Pain killers, the exploring on the islands, (A special thanks to captain Lee for making reservations for dinners, moorings and handling all the logistics so would could relax and not worry about anything). The sail boat is the way to go!! We did have minor issues with our boat and the grill not working and issue with the Captians quarter A/C not working, but those were minor and feel bad for the Captain but the beauty of the islands and amazing weather made those non issue that I’m sure moorings will have resolved for the next people on the Shape up II..

We just returned from a weeklong Moorings catamaran charter through the BVIs and it was nothing short of spectacular—easily one of the top 5 trips of my life.

First and foremost, Captain Lee was the heart and soul of this journey. Her knowledge of the islands, calm leadership, and easy-going personality made every day effortless and unforgettable. She was incredibly accommodating, knew exactly when to take charge and when to let us relax, and handled every detail—from navigation to logistics—with total confidence. Her dinner and mooring reservations were impeccable every single night. We felt like VIPs everywhere we went.

Now for the honesty: there were a couple of hiccups. Unfortunately, our catamaran, Shape Up II, didn’t have a grill onboard (which we expected), and we had some frustrating issues with the AC. But to be fair, the weather was so perfect—plus the beauty of the islands more than made up for the minor annoyances.

The snorkeling was next level—crystal-clear water, vibrant reefs, and sea life galore. We swam with turtles, rays, and more fish than I can count. Evenings were spent under breathtaking starry skies, cocktails and beers in hand, just soaking in the moment.

We’re already talking about when we can do it again. Moorings delivered an incredible experience, but Captain Lee is what made it magical. Highly recommend—and if you can request her as your skipper, do it. You won’t regret it.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The boat was immaculate and comfortable with great AC and wifi. We had 7 people and had plenty of space. Our captain Keydon was wonderful and helped us navigate our trip perfectly. The BVI’s were amazing!

12 day tour to Belize Cafés with a Mooring 4200. Great boat with all neccessary equipment, very friendly and knowledgable staff. exzellent sailing with reliable trade winds. Top snorkeling in pristine waters. Remote but great nature. We had a unforgattable time!

Absolutely top-notch experience with Moorings. Captain and crew were brilliant, accommodating and exceptionally good at all that they did.

We had a spectacular time! Planning, prep, sail, boat, and especially our Captain Dale made it one of our most memorable experiences. We are already talking about another trip.

We were on “Seas the Day” with captain Andy and his lovely wife (and excellent chef) Linzi.
This was a once in a lifetime experience – the scenery was just spectacular, and the food was perfect! Andy knew where to take us and gave us suggestions as to what places we should explore while we were off the boat. Their preparation for the week was amazing – everything we needed or could have asked for was on board.

Our Crew, Shelley and Richard, were the best guides. Took us to so many amazing places where we had so much fun! The hospitality and service were top notch.. The daily drink at happy hour was the best and every meal outdid the last one. Can’t want to come back and charter with them!

Trip was excellent. The boat was virtually brand new. We took a catamaran with skipper & chef, which I thought was an excellent choice to make it a truly relaxing vacation. The crew was very professional and the food was amazing, to the point where we ended up doing almost all meals on the boat. Everything is organized to make it esy and straightforward. It was a vacation we will not forget.

We just finished our week-long cruise with Andy and Linzi in the BVI. What an amazing and fun experience we had! We were a group of 8 guests and we fit comfortably on the boat. The boat was lovely, clean, and well-appointed. Andy and Linzi had everything we needed and more!
Andy was an extremely knowledgeable captain. He knew all about the boat itself, the technical aspects of yachting, and all about the BVI. He did a combination of sailing and motor yachting during our trip. Andy is also very safety-oriented while simultaneously understanding we are there to let loose, have fun, and enjoy our vacation. It made it much easier to relax knowing that someone responsible and friendly was managing everything. Both Andy and Linzi had good tips and suggestions for us during our trip and knew the must-see places, must-eat foods, and must-drink bars.
Linzi’s food was INCREDIBLE. We had some meals outside of the boat where we honestly would have preferred to eat Linzi’s food. I really loved our daily happy hour events where she would make little snacks which were all so delicious. Snacks were also served with a custom and refreshing cocktail every day. Linzi was also an exceptional first mate who was very skilled with helping Andy moor the boat.
Both of them were friendly, funny, and professional. Lots of laughs and good times were had. I’m so glad we had them as our lively crew and would strongly recommend them to everyone!

Our 7 – night Crewed Sailing out of the BVI was excellent. Some of the things were out of our control and us just being lucky. The 45 ft. catamaran, Knotty Toddy, crewed by Capt. Richard and Chef Shelly (Birdie) were selected for us (we picked the size and kind of boat). They were the best crew, I don’t think anyone could have been better. Richard planned and delivered a wonderful itinerary based on what we wanted. Shelly prepared amazing meals and was a charming hostess the entire sailing. She must be part wizard to get so much out of that small galley.
The other thing that was amazing was the weather and sailing conditions. We got lucky there (we did pick the dates of our sailing).
Glad we did:
White Bay Beach Day with visit to the Soggy Dollar, Cane Garden Bay, sailing and snorkeling around Virgin Gorda, sightseeing drive around the north end of Virgin Gorda by taxi, the Baths (visit Mad Dog Bar), the view from Hog’s Heaven Bar Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock Resort
Takeaways:
When speaking to the Moorings reservation representatives, ask a lot of questions. The Moorings have a large data base of information they can send you if you ask them.
Talk to your pre-departure concierge as soon as you can, they will help you a lot. Our concierge was Paul Patterson and he as excellent.
If a crewed sailing, be clear on your preference sheet on you likes and wants (remember space is limited on these boats), let your captain know what you want to do. Do not over plan, sometimes conditions dictate.
Yes, we most definitely do it again!

This was our first experience chartering a catamaran in the BVI. Our trip exceeded any expectations we had. Jos (Captain) and his wife Chivon (Chef & much more) were amazing. The food was better than most high end restaurants. It was very evident that they love what they do and that translated into us having an unforgettable experience. They made sure we got to the best islands on the right days to take advantage of the weather and wind conditions, things we would have never known if we were doing it on our own. We can’t thank Jos and Chivon enough. Hopefully we can have an opportunity to do it with them again some day.

Steve & Cindy

Our trip was amazing. Captain Richard and Chef Shelly were gracious, attentive and friendly and made us feel welcome. Our trip was everything we wanted and more. The food was delicious and the itinerary spectacular.

There is no better vacation than a catamaran charter with the Moorings in the BVI’s. We’ve done over a dozen with friends and with family.

It only gets better with a fantastic crew. We had the best. Anis and Tery. Anis is a great skipper/host and Tery is an amazing cook. I didn’t realize how much I liked the Greek cooking style. Subtle but delicious.

We definitely recommend Anis and Tery for a crew and who knows hopefully we will see them again in Greek waters
