    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We chose a 53’ power cat, sailing from Tortola, BVI, that was super luxurious. It was sparkling clean, in perfect condition, had great a/c, four very large state rooms, was very quiet even while underway and had a dingy. We decided to hire a captain and I think it’s the only way to go. He knew the best dive spots, where to stop for emergency rum (yes, it’s a thing!), he would take the dingy and keep an out when just one person wanted to dive (safe practice) and made dinner reservations for us at great beachfront restaurants. He was so fun we invited him to dinner most nights. Moorings marina in Tortola is incredible having a large pool, multiple grocery stores, gorgeous bar, lovely restaurant and attentive service throughout the entire operation. We had a service issue on the boat and a repair crew was provided quickly to remedy the problem. We would definitely use Moorings again.

    The Moorings bareboat charter was amazing. Our trip through the Windward Islands was relaxing yet full of adventure. We started in St Lucia and ended in Grenada, our 9-day journey on our 46′ power catamaran was filled with snorkeling, hiking, and exploring. I highly recommend a Moorings charter, and they offer captains if you don’t want to do it yourself. They also have a ton of destinations.

Our crew, Captain Romano and Chef Silvia, made the week absolutely perfect—Romano made every day seamless, from navigating the beautiful islands to planning the perfect spots for snorkeling, beach days, and sunset views. He made sure our itinerary balanced adventure and relaxation, and we always felt safe and well cared for, and Silvia’s meals were fresh, flavorful, and absolutely delicious!
