    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!!

    We had the best experience with Captain Rico. He made a custom trip for us, helped us with the dinner reservations, we went to White Bay, virgin Gorda, Bitter End, Anegada, basically everywhere.

    He was very respectful of our space although we ended up sharing many breakfasts and having great conversations.

    The Moorings was the perfect charter company for our first trip to the BVI! We appreciated their clear communication before arriving and easy check-in/out processes. We chartered a 403PC with skipper for 5 nights and it was fantastic (paid for a <1 yr old boat, which we highly recommend doing). Our skipper, Paul Gaetan, was amazing. He is an expert captain and made us feel safe the entire trip whether onboard or in the dinghy. Paul went above and beyond, giving us destination & dining recommendations and even helped with reservations so we could just relax and enjoy our trip! When we get back to the BVI next, we would absolutely charter with the Moorings again, but for 7 nights at a minimum. Thank you Paul and The Moorings for making our trip absolutely amazing!!!

    Can’t say enough good things about our experience chartering a 403PC and having Paul Gaetan as our Skipper!
    The Moorings is a huge operation and with that comes good customer service, opportunity for newer and nicer yachts, and easy booking especially if you’d prefer a skipper.
    Five stars and we’re already planning our next charter!

    Details:
    Booking- The booking process was straightforward and the call center reps were very responsive and communicative. Emails were promptly replied to and the pre departure info was sent well ahead of time.
    Arrival- We arrived around 10:00am (we stayed at a BNB nearby) and checked in with the charter desk. They gave us a drink ticket and sent us to the bar to wait! Our yacht was ready by 11:30ish and we met our skipper Paul Gaetan who escorted us to the yacht, went through a safety briefing, and held our own chart meeting to discuss the week.
    Our pre-provisioned food/drinks arrived by cart and were placed on the aft table for us. Only a few items were subbed or missing.
    We were out of the marina by 1pm after grabbing some last minute provisions from the French Deli just across the street (great bread, cheese, and don’t skip the macarons in the frozen section!) and from the Moorings Market.
    Trip- the rest is going to mirror anything positive you’ve read about the BVI.
    Boat- we paid extra for a 403PC that was 1 year old or newer. Definitely recommend. The 403PC was new to Moorings in 2024, so some boats may have been in commission for a couple of years. The yacht was clean, everything worked, and I can’t imagine a better way to motor the BVI! We spent the most time up on the flybridge which has ample shade at any time of day. We grilled burgers up top as well. Anchoring and grabbing a mooring ball was easy (with Paul doing all the work)!
    Checkout- Paul handled our drop off and checkout so we jumped off with luggage and grabbed the early ferry. We moored at Norman Island the final evening (Pirate’s Bight was great and had Anegada lobster) and we could’ve been back on base as early as 9am if we needed/wanted to.
    An excellent trip and highly recommended. Next time- we sail!

    We just returned from a 4-night sailing around BVI on the 4600 (5-bedroom) model and it was fabulous! We traveled with 2 families (2 adults and 5 boys ages 6-13) and we all travel a lot but agree this was one of our best vacations ever! We had a last minute captain change at check in but we literally struck “Captain Gold”…Captain Chester was excellent!! He went above & beyond in every way he could have from recommending the best itinerary, to restaurant and provisioning spots (we did not hire the chef component), to snorkeling areas, and just being an all around fun guy! He interacted with all of so well and our boys all absolutely loved him! He quickly became a friend to all of us! He also did our dishes, kept the boat tidy and any slight issue that arose he was quick to address and fix it. He truly was the best and made our first sailing experience one to remember! Thank you so much to Captain Chester and the Moorings, we can’t wait for our next sailing experience! We will absolutely be requesting Captain Chester if our sailing travels take us back to BVI! Highly recommend this to any one looking for adventure, seclusion and fun!

    Our family (2 adults and 2 young kids) had an amazing trip on Seadation 2.0 with Christine and Garth. If you want an experienced crew, request them! This was our second time (in 2 years) doing a Moorings charter and it won’t be our last. Christine I miss you already and I’ll wear our matching bracelets and think of you! Garth – I’ll report back on my “lime in da coconut” when I get home! Nothing can top yours!

    Pro tips (if you use Garth and Christine):
    1. Don’t forget to turn your cabin/bathroom lights off
    2. Make sure you leave alllllll your sand behind on shore (and not on their boat!)
    3. Flush for 10 Mississippis
    4. Close all doors behind you!
    5. Only ask for the toys (kayaks paddle boards, etc) you plan to use!

    You follow those rules and you’re golden! 😂

    We absolutely loved our sailing holiday in the British Virgin Islands with Moorings. It was a bucket list holiday and everything I could have hoped for.
    The 45′ catamaran, Why Knot, was excellent with a freezer, three fridges, water maker, air conditioning, masses of indoor and outdoor seating and many other features.

    The Yacht Club was brilliant for when we came off the boat and waited for our flight home.

    My only complaint is that the maintenance was very poor:
    The boat was clean and well prepared but the rear starboard head was blocked and utterly revolting. An engineer came out to fix it and left saying it was fixed, but it continued to fill up with poo constantly and smelled revolting. This could have easily spoiled the holiday but fortunately we were only using three cabins so we could treat this as a spare. But goodness it was stinky.
    The masthead light and several navigation lights were broken as was the (non-essential) underwater hull light.
    I wouldn’t bother with pre-provisioning again as the Moorings mini mart was for last minute things and the two supermarkets are a couple of minutes away, well stocked, with shuttles to get you there and back.
    Having said all that, if I can afford it I would definitely go back to the Moorings and the BVI again as I loved the holiday.

    Went out for a week with our friends on a 4200 catamaran. Had such a great time. Highly recommended to do. A great way to see the BVI. We hired a captain as well, and couldn’t have gone better. Stacey was great! Took the time to show us cool spots to moor up for a bit of snorkeling and scuba diving. She had good input as to which islands to see, and we got on some cool tours because of her knowledge. I am sure moorings has all very good captains, but if you get a chance to book one I would highly recommend Stacey. The whole moorings process was seamless, very good people to deal with.

    Excellent experience from beginning to end! Booking agent, Sam was very attentive to our needs including: appropriate boat size, trip length, trip insurance, transfers, water toys, etc.

    The boat (464PC) handled like a dream. Watermaker worked well, if not a bit slowly. Bow-thrusters did not work but don’t really need them. Weather briefing was very helpful as well – Miles was very thorough and took time to answer our questions.

    My only small complaint was the boat briefing. First time on the 464, would have been nice to have a bit more thorough rundown of boat offerings and limitations. However, all the deckhands were extremely helpful and nice to deal with. I think this is more of a Moorings management issue with schedules during high, ‘launch’ activity.

    All in all, an excellent trip and well managed by Moorings.

    We had the most incredible 9-day sailing adventure with The Moorings, hosted by Captain Romano and Sylvia. We truly couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more.

    Captain Romano helped us plan the perfect itinerary based on our interests, making every stop feel thoughtful and personalized. Sylvia was an outstanding chef and went above and beyond to accommodate the dietary restrictions within our group, every meal was delicious and stress-free.

    The trip was filled with unforgettable moments, including spotting whales on our sail from Anegada back to the main island, stunning sunsets every evening, and nonstop beautiful scenery. The boat was also in tip-top shape the entire trip, which made everything even more relaxing.

    Overall, it was an absolutely memorable experience, and we would highly recommend Romano, Sylvia, and The Moorings to anyone looking for a dream sailing vacation.

Vicki was an exceptional cook with skills we couldn’t imagine having in such a small kitchen and Dani made sure we had more than enough of everything.

I am sure moorings has all very good captains, but if you get a chance to book one I would highly recommend Stacey. The whole moorings process was seamless, very good people to deal with.

    This is an awesome sailing base with great staff. Dee did a very good chart briefing the day before our charter. Then we got on our 46′ leopard catamaran and had a great week cruising Abacos. There was very good support throughout the trip. Our boat was in excellent condition. Upon return we were able to use the sailing base amenities including the clean showers and restroom facilities as well as the beautiful pool-bar area. I 100% recommend this location for a charter.

    Excellent experience from beginning to end! Booking agent, Sam was very attentive to our needs including: appropriate boat size, trip length, trip insurance, transfers, water toys, etc.

    The boat (464PC) handled like a dream. Watermaker worked well, if not a bit slowly. Bow-thrusters did not work but don’t really need them. Weather briefing was very helpful as well – Miles was very thorough and took time to answer our questions.

    My only small complaint was the boat briefing. First time on the 464, would have been nice to have a bit more thorough rundown of boat offerings and limitations. However, all the deckhands were extremely helpful and nice to deal with. I think this is more of a Moorings management issue with schedules during high, ‘launch’ activity.

    All in all, an excellent trip and well managed by Moorings.

    We had the most incredible 9-day sailing adventure with The Moorings, hosted by Captain Romano and Sylvia. We truly couldn’t have enjoyed ourselves more.

    Captain Romano helped us plan the perfect itinerary based on our interests, making every stop feel thoughtful and personalized. Sylvia was an outstanding chef and went above and beyond to accommodate the dietary restrictions within our group, every meal was delicious and stress-free.

    The trip was filled with unforgettable moments, including spotting whales on our sail from Anegada back to the main island, stunning sunsets every evening, and nonstop beautiful scenery. The boat was also in tip-top shape the entire trip, which made everything even more relaxing.

    Overall, it was an absolutely memorable experience, and we would highly recommend Romano, Sylvia, and The Moorings to anyone looking for a dream sailing vacation.

    With many thanks, Taylor & Caitlyn

    The weather was unusually poor for this time of year as it was everywhere else. However, the crew on Andromeda made sure we had everything we needed and a good time at that! Vicki was an exceptional cook with skills we couldn’t imagine having in such a small kitchen and Dani made sure we had more than enough of everything. We will be coming back so we can experience better weather and would suggest this trip to anyone. From arranging our off the boat meals, suggestions on excursions and making sure we had a taxi waiting for us this trip was effortless!! Just do it!
