BVI Yacht Charter Reviews

Boat was great and staff was very helpful in making our week of sailing the BVIs a fantastic trip

Everything worked as expected, met or exceeded expectations. The staff were helpful and cheerful, and the boat itself was in great condition.

Boat was clean and ready to go at the promised time. Boat briefing was excellent (Kevin/Jumba), and he was early!

Staff was excellent, very responsive and informative. Yacht was in great condition.

Everyone was great to deal with, especially the people at the base; friendly, knowledgable, and kind. The boat was in great shape and every small issue we brought to the attention of the staff was resolved.

Fantastic service and crew

Staff. Our crew was beyond expectation. I couldn’t have asked for better!

the ease and organization of everthing put our mind at ease as we booked this vacation

Our crew, Calvin and Katie, were absolutely amazing! They provided a first class experience on the Jolly Mon. This is our second sail with the Moorings and it was by far our best. Thanks so much for an awesome experience!

Best vacation experience we’ve had as a family. It was great to have the freedom to visit many different beautiful locations on a daily basis and the yacht was comfortable and easy for the whole family.

The continuous improvement efforts in both boats and service have been impressive

We were extremely grateful to have Andel as our Captain and Kay as our chef. As our first experience sailing the BVI with you we could not have asked for a better team. We feel like we left extending our family . They were just amazing. The catamaran and the itinerary was perfect. It was the best vacation we have ever had!

The entire experience was amazing start to finish!!

Fantastic from beginning quoting process to returning the boat to the dock. Best vacation I’ve ever taken and it blew my wife away!

Theo & Martina (our crew) made it a unique, tailored, and unforgettable experience. Because of them, we will have memories that will last us a lifetime!

Good times, great boat!

The arrival was smooth. Sassy was amazing and answered all the questions. Was very pleasant and made personally sure that all our concerns were addressed.

Great experience from beginning to end. Especially the skill of Capt. Will Stuart. He was wonderful to share a week with.

Everything was top-notch from The Moorings! But, what made our trip extra special was our crewed yacht’s Captain and Chef! Andy and Linzi created a perfect 8-day itinerary for our group of 6. This was our second round on Seas the Day, and we’ll definitely be back!

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

The Moorings has an excellent base in Tortola. The staff is courteous and helpful, the pool and bar was a great place to hangout while waiting for our catamaran to be ready, and the inspection and launching process went off without a hitch. The provisioning store and market are very well stocked and the restaurant was very good.

We had a fantastic time on our week long Moorings charter with Romano and Silvia. They last minute picked up our reservation because our original captain had a sickness/ surgery come up. We’re grateful they didn’t cancel it, even if it was a quicker turnaround for them between each scheduled charters! They worked with us to curate our itinerary, menus (with someone who is paleo), and so much more. It seemed like there may have been a mix up with our preference sheets and what Moorings provided for them, but they stopped and picked up some of things we requested and didn’t originally get. Romano and Silvia recommended some great excursions off of the boat as well.

A trip of a lifetime! I had the pleasure of traveling alongside Captain Romano and chef Silvia on a 7 day trip through the BVIs. Captain made sure to plan an itinerary filled with both relaxation and adventure while showing us some amazing spots. Silvia’s food was exceptional each day. They made a great duo and went out of their way to also make me feel special on my birthday! We loved our daily happy hours and sunsets.

Great trip and the Moorings did everything they could to make the trip a huge success. When the dingy motor acted up, they were there within an hour with a new motor. They were very friendly and easy going and it made the trip that much better.

My family and I did this trip for Thanksgiving two years ago and had to come back this year for the same time! We booked with Seas the Day with Andy and Linzi, two years ago and did it again with them this year. They are an amazing crew doing everything they can to make the trip perfect. We will be back again and totally recommend this trip and this crew!!!!

Our trip was a most amazing experience. Garth and Christine were fantastic in every way. Our meals were excellent, the sailing (our first experience) was wonderful, the island visits and Garth and Christine’s information about them was so enjoyable. The boat was beautiful, the views were to die for, the excursions to the various islands via the dinghy were so much fun. We loved everything about this first visit to BVI–and our first sailing trip.

Amazing journey with captain Libert. On a 45 cat and had a great time.

Libert charted a perfect journey, was a gentleman, and was able to give us a once of a lifetime vacation. If booking a trip in the future, I would certainly choose Libert.

Our power cat excursion to 7 islands in 8 days was fantastic. Loved the vibe, the food and the people. My only negative is The Moorings itself, the bathrooms and showers need a great deal of attention and thorough cleanings regularly… YUK! is an understatement for the bathrooms!

We just completed a 7 day charter in the BVI’s on a 45’ catamaran. There were 4 of us but the boat could have easily accommodated 6. It was an amazing trip! Our skipper, Chester, was the best! He was so knowledgeable about all the great places to go on the islands. He really made this one of the best vacations we’ve ever had! We wouldn’t hesitate to do this trip again and we would definitely request Chester as our skipper!

You can count on Moorings to provide the best in customer service, yachts, and preparation. We have bareboaterd in many sailing destinations including Greece (3 trips), Sicily, Croatia, Tahiti, Tonga, Cuba, and the Virgin Islands, (US, Spanish, BVI), Hawaii. The Moorings offers the best service, nicest boats, and will provide unparalleled customer service if you have a problem.

Romano and Silvia handled all details of our sail with flawless execution! They discussed our itinerary choices with us daily from food to destinations.
Romano reviewed the destinations, what was available on the various islands, set up land transportation to customize our experience. Everyday was a perfect adventure!
Silvia’s culinary choices were fabulous from breakfast to dinner! She customized our menu so that every guest was presented with a delicious and perfectly prepared meal.
Safety was of utmost importance. Romano and Silvia presented all the safety aspects to our group that were easily understood and we could follow.
We all had a fabulous time and would recommend Romano and Silvia to others!!

What an amazing trip! Checked all the boxes of sharing time with friends and adventure! Captain Romano and First Mate Silvia were attentive to every detail to make our trip enjoyable. Food was amazing as Silvia accommodated special needs. Romano listened to what we wanted to do and planned each day accordingly and set up excursions as requested. Floating, swimming, snorkeling ( with guest appearances of sea turtles and rays), the Baths and numerous beach bars. The boat, Maggie Sea II was pristine! They had noodles, fins, paddleboards, and kayaks. Highly recommend renting a Lilly Pad.

Couldn’t ask for anything more!

The four couples traveling together had high expectations for this adventure; Romano & Silvia delivered in all categories. The meals were healthy and delicious. Silvia excelled at recognizing the different food preferences of the group and making it all work. Romano offered suggestions & recommendations for the daily itinerary then made advance arrangements & reservations as needed. They were both exceedingly professional, courteous and detail oriented. I highly recommend them and hope to sail with them again someday.

What a week!
Andy and Linzi had us feeling at home on Seas the Day from the moment we stepped aboard.
Whether it was a day of shore activity or floating with cocktails at the boat, Capt. Andy made sure we were on the best mooring ball or anchorage to make each day and location a unique experience.
We will miss the daily morning “chart chats” that discussed itineraries along with a bit of historical and nautical learning for the area of the BVI’s we were in as well as the evening “nibbles” discussion that laid out possibilities for the next day.
Chef Linzi’s cuisine for the week was absolutely delicious and perfectly portioned. I can still hear “breakfast crew” in my head.
Andy and Linzi make an incredible team, it was a joy watching them work together to make even small details just right. Their professionalism along with being just plain fun people to be around made the trip for us.
We spend a lot of time in the Caribbean each winter and have always thought about what a sailing charter would be like. We’re so glad we were able to join our friends on this trip and plan to return to sail with Capt Andy and Linzi again!

Where do I begin?? From the moment you meet Captain Andy and Chef Lindzi, you know you are in extremely capable hands and fun company. Captain Andy and Chef Lindzi provide the perfect environment for their guests to have the BEST time while also balancing the need for safety. From our morning Chart Chats where we reviewed where we’ve traveled, and where we would be off to next, to our evening nibbles meeti ng, where we reminisced over our day and agreed on our breakfast time, there was never a dull moment. Captain Andy is extremely knowledgeable of the British Virgin Islands and provided expert guidance for our daily adventures which ranged from snorkeling. touring The Baths early to miss the crowds, fun shopping, hiking, restaurant and bar recommendations. Captain Andy also educated us on sailing terms and British Virgin Island history.
Chef Lindzi’s food was top notch! Breakfast, lunch, nibbles and dinner were always a delicious surprise and savored by all of us. We could not have asked for a better dynamic duo for all of our first experiences (definitely not our lasts!) in the British Virgin Islands. We will be back!

If you are looking for the PERFECT trip to BVI, look no further than Captain Andy and Chef Lindzi!

We celebrated a surprise birthday party on Seas the Day with Captain Andy and Chef Linzee! I cannot begin to express how amazing they made this adventure! Captain Andy’s years of experience took us to the best mooring balls at each island, quiet coves where we were the only boat present, and he recommended the best bars and hot spots! Linzee wowed us with her culinary delights; From Nibbles (appetizers) every night at 5:00 to her gourmet meals each day! Andy and Linzee are a married couple and watching their teamwork was mesmerizing. They were kind, patient, and very accommodating. They made the trip the smoothest and most enjoyable trip I’ve ever taken. Highly recommend sailing with Captain Andy and Chef Linzee.
We loved visiting The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke with the famous bars, and eating a magnificent lobster meal in Pirates Byte. Captain Andy took us to the best snorkeling spots at the perfect times to avoid crowds which made it very enjoyable.
We most certainly will return to sail with Captain Andy and Chef Linzee!

Don’t hesitate…just book it! Staff was welcoming, informative and very professional. Highly recommend the crewed charter with Anis & Tery, what a phenomenal team! Anis is a highly experienced navigator full of knowledge of ships and the BVI’s. It was easy to relax while sailing on open waters, knowing you were in good hands. Tery’s warm personality and amazing meals were a perfect pairing to Anis’s smooth sailing. Every dish was presented beautifully, tasted incredible and left you wanting her recipes. We highly recommend The Moorings, but more specifically a charter crewed by Anis & Tery. This team truly made our experience phenomenal!

We chartered the Sedation 2.0 and had Captain Garth and Chef/Mate Christine as our crew. From the minute we boarded, we were treated like family. The boat was perfect and everything we expected. Christine’s meals were outstanding, from the formal presentations to the delicious cultural cuisines. Each day when we came back on the boat from swimming or outing, Garth had a specialty drink waiting for us. The weather was perfect and the water temp even better. So many turtles around the boat each day. Our captain made sure we hit all the popular spots and took us to a couple of his favorites as well. The island folks were Super friendly. Would definitely go back on the Sedation 2.0 again. Until next year…

What an incredible experience!
I went on a trip on a 42’ sailing catamaran, with friends Nov. 1-7, 2025.
My friends hired a Moorings captain, Gilson, who made the trip wonderful for us! Gilson was cheerful, kind, helpful, and a skilled captain. I always felt safe and comfortable with him. I won’t hesitate to request him as captain on my next sailing trip with Moorings in the BVI’s.
Our catamaran had three cabins, each with its own bathroom, all clean and nice. Seating with tables both inside and outside were comfortable.
We visited different places every day. There were nice beaches, good snorkeling, great views, and excellent restaurants.
I can’t wait to go back to the BVI’s and sail again!

Very good staff, everyone was friendly and helpful. Seth is an asset to the company. Helpful checking in, getting the boat ready and our return was smooth. A great place to de-stress and enjoy the sailing.
