Customer Reviews

We have had 2 great vacations in ’24 and ’25

St Martin base was excellent!

Captain Laura Bello was amazing, went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The Catamaran was perfect for our families and in great shape.

The captain and crew were amazing. The followed the preference sheet and managed to keep 9 people all happy! When in the water, the captain kept a close eye on us so we felt safe. They were all just lovely people.

That is probably the best-run charter base I have used. It was very organized, the boat was in great shape. The briefing and de-briefing were comprehensive.

Captain Cosman and Crewmate – Jan Baptiste- were top notch – and we could not have ben more comfortable. The food, the meals, etc were excellent

The boat is in great shape and the BVI’s are always stunning.

This is our second vacation with The Moorings, both have been handled flawlessly by your teams and we have a great experience each time.

Awesome boat, clean and beautiful base

The Moorings is a first-class company. They treated us with such respect and friendliness and always were available to answer all of our questions and take care of all of our needs from the beginning of the process to the end of our adventure. Everyone we worked with couldn’t have been more pleasant. We had such an amazing trip. All of us said it was the best vacation we ever had and plan on doing it again. The boat was an absolute dream! Thank you for an amazing trip you never missed a beat in taking such good care of us.

Best vacation of my life!

Captain, chef and boat were top level. Very professional and fun to be around

Our favorite type of vacation! We say “You are never NOT on vacation” while on the yacht. Every moment is special.

Boat was immaculate, ready on time, in good working order.

Quality boats in good condition. Easy provisioning through the Moorings. Good location.

Captain Andy and Linzi were superb. The food was exceptional!!
We saw lots of island snorkled and loved all the sights we saw. The boulders at the Cave were a real highlight.
Most of all the hosts were so accommodating to all our needs!!
The Warfield’s
Seas the Day

First, Eric, our captain, was great. Second, the itinerary was really good with many excellent coves and harbors for great snorkeling, swimming, dining and views. Third, the boat worked out well for our party of 8. Finally, we all had a really good time.

Boat was new, spotless, and well equipped. Crew was fantastic!

Our Captain Robin was lovely, very experienced and gave us our privacy all the while being accomodating and friendly!

consistently good experience over 15 +years- this is my third trip and they all have been good.

The base team was fantastic. They met and exceeded my expectations in all areas. We are excited to book our next trip.

We just finished a week in the BVI with Romano and Silvia. What an amazing experience. They planned everything, and adjusted the plan based on the activities that resonated with our group. The boat was amazingly clean, the food was incredibly delicious and beautifully presented, and sunset captain’s cocktails were a perfect way to end a day full of exploration on land and in the water. Romano and Silvia made a great vacation truly amazing.

Having spent over 10 years working in customer service, I know how rare truly exceptional service is. Captain Andy and Chef Linzi deliver it at the highest level.
From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we were in great hands. The boat was immaculate, they were very welcoming, and it immediately felt like the start of something special.

The BVIs offer endless places to explore, and Andy and Linzi have truly mastered the art of balancing adventure with relaxation. Each day brought something new, beautiful sailing, great snorkeling spots, incredible beaches, fun hikes, and plenty of time to relax and enjoy the stunning surroundings.

Captain Andy is an outstanding captain with incredible knowledge of boats, the sea, and the islands. He also has a great sense of humor that made the trip even more fun. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in creating an unforgettable experience for his guests.

Chef Linzi’s meals were absolutely incredible. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and thoughtfully prepared, and she went above and beyond to tailor everything to our preferences. It honestly felt like dining at a five star restaurant every single day while floating in paradise.

What truly sets Andy and Linzi apart is who they are as people. They are kind, compassionate, passionate about what they do, and genuinely care about making sure every guest has the best possible experience.

If you are considering a charter in the BVIs, there is simply no better way to experience it than with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. They created memories that we will talk about for the rest of our lives. Truly the best of the best of the best.

My family and I just got back from our 6 night sailing trip aboard the 50 foot catamaran “Seas the Day” with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. We planned the trip to celebrate my dad’s 60th birthday, and it was one of the most memorable vacations our family has ever taken.

Captain Andy and Chef Linzi were fantastic hosts—very welcoming and both had great senses of humor! Andy is incredibly knowledgeable and an expert sailor. Linzi’s meals were excellent—every dish was fresh, delicious, and perfectly tailored for our group. They truly are the best of the best!

Our itinerary struck the perfect balance of adventure and relaxation. Our days were filled with sailing, snorkeling, exploring the beautiful islands, and relaxing on the boat.

The entire experience felt effortless thanks to such a professional crew. We cannot recommend Captain Andy and Chef Linzi enough, and we will absolutely be back!

We sailed with two other couples in February/March 2026. We had an amazing time sailing the BVI and were very happy with the Moorings. Our Captain Anis and Chef Terry far exceeded our expectations! Captain Anis had a great itinerary for us and was also flexible to meet our requests. He is very experienced and made our trip comfortable and safe. He also came up with interesting and tasty cocktails for our group. The ship was fully stocked with everything we requested, and our crew also had a few surprises for us. Our Chef Terry thoughtfully prepared each meal that was perfectly suited for our group’s preferences. Every meal was delicious and presented with much care. The Moorings 5000 was an excellent choice for our group, allowing for plenty of room for all of us. Our ship McLovin Life, was in new condition, and quite obvious that our crew did an exceptional job in keeping it that way.
We will most definitely be back!

The mornings in the Bahamas was easy to access. The staff was super friendly. The boat was ready on time and we were easily able to leave. The briefing that I received was thorough and accurate. I would recommend them again.

Boat was in good order and they were very responsive to our needs and desires.

What an amazing experience. We chartered the Calypso II with Captain Eggie and Chef Emerson. Could not recommend them more. Capt. Eggie was super knowledgable and helped supply the fresh food, while Emerson knocked it out of the park every day with unbelievable food and hospitality. It was truly an amazing trip and cant wait to do it again!

Excellent customer service. As you can imagine it is not easy to arrive get the briefing, walk through of the boat, make sure everything works and Fix everything before you sail away as soon as possible. They did it. We arrived late afternoon on Saturday. tons of boat all trying to get settle and ready to leave on Sunday morning. They had a late briefing on Saturday, we did the walkthrough that evening also. We identified that the generator was not starting, the water maker was not working. We were told that the technicians had gone home for the evening and that they will be back tomorrow 8am.

We thought it would delay our departure. the next day we checked with customer service and asked them about our issues. They told us they were aware of our issues and that the technician will be there shortly. Hundreds of people are supposed to be leaving that morning they probably have issues too. I wasn’t even sure if we would be able to leave that day.

Technician came on and it took about an hour to fix the generator and water maker.

We left Tortola at 9:30am

Just fantastic service.

Leopard 4500 in BVIs with 6 on board. Everyone had an amazing time, and very few minor boat issues.
The staff were great as always, and the location is incredible.

We sailed from 2/1/26-2/8/26 aboard the Beneteau 52’ monohull “Glad to Be Here” with Captain extraordinaire, Chester Leroux, an fun and professional South African expert sailor. We had heavy rain and 25 knot winds our first two days and made the most of the weather by reefing the sails and minting a solid 10 knots! We sailed to Norman Island. We went for a swim and hiked the island and saw amazing flora and fauna before a nice dinner ashore at Pirates Bite. With even more wind and rain, we had an exhilarating sail the next day to Great Camanoe island where we snorkels at Diamond Reef, hiked scrub Island and had dinner at Marina Key restaurant (best painkiller in the BVI’s) beautiful weather our next day and a sail to Virgin Gorda past Dog Islands with flamingo’s flying overhead. Chester arranged for Mr. Dependable to drive us to Hog Heaven with a magnificent view of Leverick Bay. After a brief tour of the island we stopped at the Baths. Our hope had been to drop anchor and swim in but the winds didn’t permit and now anchoring was allowed that day. We then sailed to Anegada in lighter winds. We ate a delicious lunch aboard and then rented a car and drove to different spots around the island and snorkels for hours in various spots! Truly a magical place! We sailed a broad reach toward Tortolas north shore and motor sailed viewing the mountains, homes, flora and fauna. We were able to cut off the motor for a beautiful sailn into Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyke where we picked up ice, topped off water then motored over to Little Harbor and anchored for the night and paddle boarding and some other water fun! Dinner at Sydney’s Peace and Plenty never disappoints! We sailed over thebXavea at Norman island with a beaded cave full of colorful rocks and surrounded by coral reefs where we delighted in swimming with fish, observing ray, ears and spotting conchs and spiny lobster. The guys climbed the cliffs and did flips infinity sea below entertaining onlookers. We motored over to the west end of Peter Island for the night and enjoyed sunset and sunrise beach walks, creating beach art sculptures , and collecting a few souvenir shells. Our last day allowed for a 7 knot sail across the Drake Channel back to Tortola. We have bare boated in the past and were really happy that we had a captain this trip. Chester made everything easy and fun. He gave us plenty of space but we enjoyed his company so much enjoyed it when he hung out with us. Chester recognized that we wanted to sail as much and as fast as possible and planned our sails to accommodate our wishes. He made reservations for dinners and boatyballs when necessary. At the end of the trip, Chester created a special map of our journey and sat with us and discussed all the amazing experiences we had at each stop. I can’t say enough about Chester and the terrific time we had because of his thoughtfulness .

We had an absolutely amazing time sailing the BVIs with the Moorings. From start to finish, the trip was amazing. We sailed with a chartered crew and Captain Jackie and Chef Marlyn exceeded all of our expectations. The check in process was seamless and Captain Jackie met us and escorted us to the 45 foot catamaran. From there we were extremely comfortable. The rooms were great and the boat was clean. Captain Jackie had a great itinerary for us and was a lot of fun to spend the week with. Her daily signature cocktails were excellent. I also can’t speak highly enough about Chef Marlyn. Her food throughout the trip was excellent and we are craving her meals now that we are home.

Overall, the trip was one of the best we have taken and we hope to sail again with Jackie and Marlyn in the years ahead.

Our boat rental with the Moorings in BVI mid-February was amazing!
The Mooring Leapoard 42 met all of our expecations.
There were 6 of us ranging from 44-72yrs of age.
When we arrived, the boat was ready and docked right next to the restaurant/bar/pool making for easy access with our baggage.
In addition to pre-arrival provisioning, The market onsite is well stocked with reasonable pricing.
We stayed aboard in the marina the first night and enjoyed dinner and music at the marina.
Once we shoved off, we aclimated to the boat and sailing quickly.
The boat met all of our expectations including a Water Maker, 8 person Dinghy with Automatic Davits, very comfortable rooms with separate shower/bathroom for each of the 3 couples.
We sailed to different mooring balls every day/night.
Once we arrived back to port, someone met us as we were coming in to board and steer the boat back in. Was very thankful for this.
An amazing trip that we did not want to leave and cannot wait to get back!

Had a wonderful trip, staff very friendly and helpful, 46 power cat was in excellent shape, minimal problems , ac worked well generators and engines ran smoothly and economically. Getting mooring balls requires early morning planning but lucked out most days.

Catered to the young and old… and a good time was had by all

Trip of a lifetime. I added to the group last minute and The Mooring made it so easy. Our Skipper Mathieu was amazing. He was easy to work with and helped guide us in picking out destinations for the right days and nights. He made sure we were safe and taken care of all along the way. The boat was perfect. Not 1 problem ( or if there was Mathieu took care of it and we never knew). He kept us informed of anything we needed to do or not do like short showers when we were somewhere he couldn’t use the water maker. He even told us before we went ( I think it was Annegoda) that we would want to conserve the water while we were there so we were prepared. I would do that trip over and over and would recommend it again and again.

Three couples spent a glorious week on “Seas The Day” catamaran with Moorings early February 2026! It was an amazing week thanks to Captain Andy and Chef Linzi!

Captain Andy had a Zoom call with us about a week before the trip to get to know us and hear more about what we wanted to do etc. He also was able to answer many of our questions.

Finally the day came to board Seas The Day! Captain Andy is an accomplished Captain and we all felt very safe. We also loved that he loves to sail and not just motor around the BVI! He taught us a lot about sailing and charts! He also makes excellent drinks for nibbles around 4:00 pm! He is very aware of what is happening on the boat to keep us safe! The knows the BVI well, has made many friends at various places, and knows the best places to stop!

Chef Linzi spoiled us the entire time with her excellent cooking with fresh ingredients and delightful menus! I miss Chef Linzi!

The name of the vessel is Seas The Day and we were told to do just that! Live for today and enjoy today! Do not think about 2-3 days from now. It was a perfect lesson to make this week slow down a bit and enjoy each memory in the making!

I highly recommend Moorings and Captain Andy & Chef Linzi! They are an incredible, fun and talented team!

We sailed on a Moorings 5000 Feb 11-18 and had a wonderful time. Our Captain and Chef (Anis & Terry) where absolutely awesome on all accounts. The itinerary was planned, but fluid which we preferred. The food was pretty amazing, and Terry did a great job of accommodating a few dietary restrictions of our party. We will be returning.

We have had many visits to the BVI. We usually go the bare boat route, so we know how much fun and how challenging the BVI sailing can be.
We decided to go a bit bouge this time around. This was our first charter with the Moorings. We went with a 46f Cat , captain and chef.
Our week with ‘As you Wish’ with Captain Lucy and First mate/Chef Mark was an amazing experience. The week we chartered there was a 27 boat flotilla, Captain Lucy was great navigating around the flotilla so we didn’t end up at the same spots. Marks food was fantastic. Each meal better than the last. Mark and Lucy did a fantastic job of checking in making sure we had everything we needed.. They were very knowledgeable about the history of the islands , knew the good snorkeling spots, nice beaches and the little quirks of each location. Captains 5 O’Clock cocktail was so much fun. It took us a few days to get over the urge to jump in and ‘help’. But once we went with the experience it was fantastic. Would highly recommend this duo for an amazing experience .

The Moorings was a great charter company for our first power cat BVI trip. A few of our group had been there before on a sail cat but we decided to ditch the sails for the large fly bridge and very glad we did. The boat (About Time – 464PC) was brand new & had lots of room for everyone to hang out where they wanted. The boat was easy to operate & maneuver through the moorings & docks. The process for checking in & out with The Moorings as very easy. I highly recommend the sleep aboard option the night before as it allows you to unpack & settle in & look over the boat. You can also get your provisions (if you didn’t order them ahead of time through Mooring). That way you are ready to leave a few hours earlier the next day. Spend time reviewing the islands and places to visit, make a plan & be ready to adjust it if the weather doesn’t cooperate. I have travelled many places around. The world for work & pleasure and this trip was one of my favourites. Highly recommend!!! I will be back!!

Moorings Charter Services deserve a higher score than a 5-star! Excellent service from start to finish. Our Captain Wayne and First Mate/Chef Kathryn were amazing! Delicious food and drinks and great sights. If you are looking for a 48 ft Catamaran including a Captain and Chef for a BVI trip, these are your people!
