Customer Reviews

Our captain and Chef were phenomenal. Anita and Ricardo were professional fun and took great care of us. The 50 foot catamaran was perfect.

Excellent communication, boat ran perfectly the whole time, quick assistance when we called the main base.

Excellent customer service and well maintained equipment

Great service all around from start to finish; great help getting the trip organized, great service upon arrival preparing to embark, and great service while underway. Boats are always in good shape and ready to sail.

Excellent skippers, itineraries and fleet

Our experience was flawless from start to finish—the welcoming service upon arrival, thorough briefing, impeccable cleanliness, well-maintained equipment, and overall boat quality exceeded our expectations. It truly made our vacation special. Two thumbs up for The Moorings! We’ll definitely book again soon!

Efficient check in & out; boat in ship shape with no maintenance issues; rapid phone response for a mechanical question

Great service, great boat, no hassle

Top notch service, awesome boats, easy check in/out!!!!

Captian Frankey was awesome and the whole trip was too.

I have sailed with the Moorings for over 25 years and I like the experience provided and I know what to expect.

Our skipper Kevin was great! He let us sail as much as we wanted, gave us tips and took care of all logistics on our trip around the BVIs.

Very organized and efficient.

The staff is wonderful. Boat quality and shape for charter are great.

Awesome staff and great fleet of sailboats

Beautiful location. Great service.

Captain Ricardo and Anita were awesome hosts and the experience was really good.

The Moorings operation was a pleasure to work with both in maintenance level of boat and the service of the crew.

Amazing overall experience

Easy to book and boat was in good condition and captain was very knowledgeable.

We just got back from celebrating my wife’s 60th birthday on Seas the Day with Captain Andy and Linzi. This our 4th time chartering with Moorings. This by far was our best experience. Andy and Linzi left no stone unturned in making sure our trip was exactly what we asked for. Linzi’s meals were impeccable! Linzi was very attentive to our dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or portions. You will never go hungry. Captain Andy made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. But most of all is his knowledge of the area. This enabled us to experience places which we had never seen. Our morning “chart chats” were informative and fun. The main thing that stood out to me was the cleanliness of organization of the boat. First Class!! I highly recommend this crew and will request them again on our next adventure.

We just returned from a fabulous one week sailing adventure with 3 other couples. We had a captain(Ricardo) and a first mate/chef (Anita) on the boat Nauti But Nice. They were both amazing! We were spoiled by their attentive service and wonderful meals. They had the boat stocked with all provisions including food, beer, wine and alcohol ! Anita made sure we were never hungry and Ricky handled the boat and dinghy like a master. In addition they were incredibly thoughtful and nice. We loved our time on the boat(5 cabin) and all of the island stops were unique and fun! This was our first sailing experience and we would certainly do it again!

Excellent excursion sailing with great friends. For 3 of us a return trip from our April 2024 adventure with Moorings. The catamaran was in excellent shape and well laid out. We rented the 5000 series with 5 staterooms and en-suite heads. My only complaint with Moorings is the pre departure briefing focused more on inventorying all items on the vessel with the briefing guy having us count every item onboard from utensils, pots and pans, cups to ropes, tools, etc and focused less on the actual operation of the vessel. Inventorying items onboard was a waste of an hour of briefing that should have already been completed by Moorings before we boarded. They failed to show us how to properly make fresh water and switch tanks that we were forced to have a mechanic come out to our boat 2 days into our sailing after depleting our water supply! They should have more focus on operational efficiency and less time of inventory concerns!!

We recently completed a 7‑day catamaran charter with Moorings in the BVI, and the experience was exceptional. The trip was seamless, relaxing, and truly memorable — largely due to our outstanding captain, Sebastian Verite.

Sebastian prioritized safety, consistently secured prime anchorage locations, assisted with dinner reservations, and guided us to unique spots well beyond the typical itinerary. His professionalism, local knowledge, and warm personality elevated the entire charter.

If you’re looking for a top‑tier captain for your next BVI charter, I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Sebastian. He works with multiple charter companies in the region and is simply outstanding.

Our 30th wedding anniversary trip could not have been more perfect.

Wow!! What an incredible trip!! Just got back from a 7 day crewed charter of the BVI. We were a party of 8 (4 couples) and we were lucky to have Romano and Silvia as our crew. They were so helpful and accommodating! We were treated so well, especially with Silvia’s delicious homemade meals and Romano’s special drinks! We had the best time!!! Thank you for everything!!

We planned this trip well in advance, as this was our 39th year of our “adventure club” – 4 professionals (MDs and Ph.Ds) getting together once a year to do something “adventurous”. The weather was perfect, the water was smooth, and the sailing was fine. We hit 5 islands in five days and mostly used the Boaty balls for overnight. I planned the meals and ordered the food items (except meat), and the boat was stocked when we checked in. The Moorings people were really great and we would definitely do this again!

We rented a 46’ power catamaran for a week with our family of 6, including kids ages 6 and 8. The boat was great, the weather was close to perfect and our trip was unforgettable – and one of the most memorable parts of the week was for sure captain Darko! He made our trip so extra special and was extremely patient, professional, fun, full of great information and stories, safe and wildly talented at docking in the smallest spaces I never would have thought possible! Captain Darko was really flexible and did his best to make an itinerary that got us everywhere we wanted to go in the safest and most efficient and weather-appropriate route possible. We really could not have asked for a better experience, in very large part thanks to captain Darko! He made everyone feel like a part of his crew and took extra care and time to make the kids feel like they were superstar helpers. 10/10 recommend!

This was my first charter so I don’t have anything to compare to, but Romano and Silvia made us feel at home in their home. I think we had a typical route with stops at Norman Island, Peter Island, Copper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke.

My favorite island was Anegada where we rented Mokes, ate lobster, stopped at some great beach bars, then went snorkeling along the reef.

Other highlights were The Baths, Bitter End and Saba Rock, I had a Painkiller at every bar, including Soggy Dollar.

We chartered a 4200 Catamaran out of the Moorings base in Tortola. This was our 27th sailing trip through the Moorings, and as has been our experience in the past, everything was A+. The boat was well prepared, provisioned, and ready for Charter. We would not consider chartering with anyone else. Additionally, Boatyball has my highest rating of taking care of their sailors. A great combination, and we have already booked our 28th trip for next spring.

The team at Agana is wonderful. Very supportive and flexible. They ensured our adventure was a success. Mirna was particularly helpful, ensuring we had reservations at our first stop and being flexible on our return. She went the extra mile to make the trip wonderful! Thank you, we will be back!

My friends and I had the most wonderful 5 nights aboard the Maggie Sea II with Romano and Silvia. They were incredible hosts. The boat was in great shape, the food was amazing, and they clearly took pride in giving us a great customer experience on all levels. They are both great people, fun and kind, very knowledgeable about the islands, and curated a great trip for us based on our preferences. We hope to be back and see them again soon!

We had the best experience with Cozy and Jan on Happy Endings! This was our 3rd year with them! We stayed 6 days and lived every minute! Jan’s food is far better than any restaurants around the islands!

This was the best vacation I’ve ever experienced. Beautiful scenery and very relaxing. Highly recommend the services of Captain Marin! Marin set a wonderful itinerary where we an le to experience all the best spots of the BVI. Totally OUTRAGEOUS customer service!

We had so much fun the first time, we just had to go again! This was our second trip with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. We did not think it was possible that the second time was better than the first – but it was! We took our children ages 26,24 and 22 and had the best family vacation in ten years. Perfectly cooked meals, coffee ready when you wake up, signature cocktails before dinner and probably ther best chef in all of the BVI. That is what you get when you travel with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. Captain Andy found some great out of the ways bays to anchor with small little bars with lots of character, amazing snorkelling and daily chart briefings where you always learned something. So much fun, safe, relaxing and outstanding trip. Who is better in the BVI than Captain Andy and Chef Linzi? NOBODY!

This was our second trip on Seas the Day with Chef Linzi and Captain Andy. We did not think they could beat our first trip, but they did! This time we took our children, ages 26,24, and 22 and had the best family vacation in ten years. Every day was an adventure. Who wouldn’t want an incredible breakfast to start your day, great sailing, small little out of the way bars with character and the best dinner in the BVI. Daily briefings on where we were going, little factoids about charting and just so much fun, everytime we dropped anchor. If you are ever thinking about cruising the BVI, stop thinking just do it and ask for Captian Andy and Chef Linzi.

Lovely, well appointed boat. Only 2 issues noted: drawer under stove would not lock and in rough seas it tended to crash out. The grill was hard to use and didn’t get very hot. Otherwise the boat was in excellent condition and was well supplied. Sadly the weather was pretty rough but we were all experienced sailors so nobody got sick. We really enjoyed getting back to the Abacos

We booked our catamaran and captain through The Moorings in Tortola.
Our captain was excellent, his supporting staff, reception, boat repair and provisioning, not so great. The captain that was assigned to our boat was a No Show. Luckily his last minute replacement was exceptional! The woman at the front desk (with the large red glasses) really shouldn’t be in a customer service role. Not helpful and not friendly. As a result we left a day later without a functional water maker or grill. Once away from the dock, we enjoyed our boat, our captain and the beautiful Islands. If you bring children, be sure they are swimmers, they will love it.

The trip was a 8 day catamaran sail around BVI.

The best part of the trip was the marvelous Captain Matthieu Martinez. He took such good care of us, so kind, helpful and knowledgable. He is a great asset as a Captain.

The boat is very comfortable, spacious and well appointed. Beds seem smaller than advertised, but still substantial for a boat. I had a forward, smaller cabin.

The cabins in the bow end of the boat are quite noisy when the air conditioner, generator &/or water maker are running. I would recommend bringing noise canceling air pods.

Romano and Silvia far exceeded any expectations I had for the charter. The boat was clean, in great condition, and guidelines for safety were clear. Romano communicated effectively and was knowledgeable about weather, sea conditions, and what stops to prioritize. Silvia’s cooking was top notch. She was thoughtful in her planning; making sure to accommodate our group preferences. Not only were the meals timely and wonderful, the presentation was beautiful. I would recommend The Mooring over and over, with ultimate praise to Romano and Silvia.

Our crewed sailing charter with the Moorings in the BVIs was everything we had dreamed of. Captain Lucy Rees and chef/first mate Mark made it the perfect vacation. The crew were expert sailors, very knowledgeable about the locations and made everything enjoyable and effortless for us. I give this pair my utmost recommendation.
