BVI Yacht Charter Reviews

Overall the experience was great from the booking, staff at the Moorings, to the amazing Capitan Josh.

Moorings base Tortola is very nice , the boats are well maintained, we bare boat power cat

great service from the base staff, and boat in very good condition

Seamless from booking to base arrival and departure. Quick response when we have had service issues

The crew was fantastic. The boat was well equipped and very comfortable. And obviously the BVIs were incredible.

The experience was as promised, and fantastic.

Positive experience overall

This is my 5th charter with the moorings and it’s an awesome vacation. I do recommend the newer boats over the older ones.

Easy to work with, people are all friendly!

We loved our “Crewed” sailing experience so much!. Philippe and Paloma were just fantastic! The boat was spacious and well equipped. Philippe was able to change the itinerary, due to our requests or the weather, as needed without blinking an eye.

We honestly can’t wait to do it again!!!

Boats are well maintained, and staff are very helpful and friendly

Our trip was spectacular. The Moorings 42 Cat was beautiful and spacious. Jelly, our Captain, made the trip incredibly enjoyable. He was knowledgeable, respectful, and so sweet!

Our vacation experience was excellent – from booking to check-in. The boat was clean and in top shape. However, the best part was our captain. He could not have been better. He is a star!!

The staff was very helpful and responsive, and the equipment was in very good condition.

We had the most amazing trip on Seas The Day with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. The boat was beautiful, impeccably maintained and so fun! Andy and Linzi were amazing. They were so experienced, knowledgeable entertaining, and such generous hospitable hosts. We vacationed with 3 other couples and every one of us can’t wait to go back!

Your Customer service is OUTSTANDING! We have friends that recommended the Moorings, they have rented with you 3 times and now we know why. We will be back.

We have been sailing with the Moorings in the BVI since 1995 with the exception of three or four years. The boats are terrific and the crews are generally excellent.

Great boat and support!

Perfect holiday!

The boat was super, your people are treasures.
Amanda was most helpful throughout.
The day we docked at the end, I suffered a Heart attack, Sheren Fontenelli was so helpful and may have saved me more damage than I experienced.
Thank you Sharen and Moorings

Fantastic crewed charter, from start to finish! Captain Wayne and chef Kathryn did an amazing job, and were fun to hang out with.

My husband and I (and another couple) chartered a 42’ sailing catamaran with the Moorings in the British Virgin Islands for 5 nights. We stayed on the boat the night before our trip commenced which made it easy to get organized and ensure our provisions were sufficient. Captain Dale was our skipper and handled the boat expertly (above average winds, 22-24 knots). He knew the islands, made arrangements for marinas and dinners and was a friendly sailing companion. Highlights included snorkeling, the baths at Virgin Gorda, resort at Scrub Island, entertainment at Leverick Bay, watching football at Foxy’s Tamarid Bar and drinks at the Soggy Dollar on Jost Van Dyke. Perfect weather, lots of sun and strong breezes, will definitely do this trip again.

Cap Andy and Chef Linzi are the absolute best! I don’t ever leave reviews, but this is worth the time for me just to ensure someone knows how great this experience was with them! Cap Andy is extremely professional and qualified. His skill set is very strong and understands the seas and the area about as well and anyone could. Chef Linzi has an unreal way about her in the kitchen. She is extremely helpful and kind and always willing to do anything you need. This power couple is so impressive that I have booked this trip twice in 2 years. If you are looking for a crew to take you around the BVI’s, I wouldn’t look any further.

Weather and scenery were beautiful! We had our own captain in our group, which was great. The boat was fantastic. The beds could be a bit softer as well as the linens, and more towels provided for the 10 days.
We loved all of our stops and yummy food along the way. We had an issue with a toilet, but moorings took care of it right away.

My family did a week long charter on a Moorings Power Catamaran (Crewed Yacht) with Captain Jos & Chef Chevone and we truly had the time of our lives! I cannot say enough good things about Jos & Chevone. I truly shed a tear when it was time to depart.

From the very start, their hospitality, generosity, and professionalism was unparalleled! Jos and Chevone made us feel like family and took such great care to ensure we had the trip of a lifetime. I truly couldn’t say enough great things about them & The Moorings. A 10/10 experience and I would do it all over again in a heartbeat!

In terms of rooms/space/comfortability – our group (6 adults) felt very comfortable and at ease in terms of space. There are plenty of spaces to hangout on the boat, the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious, and you have all of the amenities of a home, except on the water!

In terms of a Power Cat vs. Sailing – we decided to go with the Power Cat since our family is more familiar with Power Boats and it was perfect for us!

Truly an incredible trip and experience and we are so excited to do it again soon! Couldn’t recommend this more!!!

Just got back from a Moorings Catamaran Trip in the British Virgin Islands with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi – and I am as relaxed as can be. Andy told the 8 of us (my wife and 3 other Friend Couples) that he wanted the 7 day trip to feel like 3 weeks and he was RIGHT! We hit all the hot spots in the islands, learned a ton about the history of the area and ate like Kings/Queens for days.

Andy and Linzi do a great job of getting a feel for the group from Day One and make the whole experience relaxing and worry free!

I highly recommend this Vacation for you and your friends. And I wouldn’t want to do it without Andy and Linzi leading the way – they are professional, safe, entertaining and relaxing all in one!

My wife, myself, and our six friends set sail on our first ever all inclusive 7 day catamaran adventure on Saturday, 1/11/25. Our captain, Andy and first-mate/chef extraordinaire/boat boss, Linzi were truly incredible guides and hosts for us newbies. Andy did a great job combining our interests with his experience in facilitating a fantastic voyage across the BVI. They were able to match our preferences in activities and food to a T. We had numerous cheeky sails to unique and beautiful moorings that were pre-arranged. Andy did a wonderful job waking up early to ensure we’d secure the best spots at different mooring fields. He also held daily “chart chats” in which we were able to learn about sailing, navigation, and specifics for the day. He welcomed questions and thoughts regularly and would modify anything without hesitation. Linzi’s love for cooking showed through with daily with breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that combined authentic, fresh, and delicious ingredients. It was a treat to be wined and dined by these two. They were open to giving their opinions when we asked but they never pushed anything onto us and they make an awesome team on the boat. You can tell that safety is their number 1 priority and that made us comfortable from the start. Also, the boat was extremely clean and well-kept and you can tell they take pride in keeping Seas The Day in top form. We couldn’t have asked for better guides on our adventure and they truly delivered a trip of a lifetime for us. Something we will never forget!!!

We had an amazing time on a 5 night cruise in BVI with 3 couples on a Leopard 4500. Our captain and chef Anis and Tery were unbelievable. We were blown away with the food prepared and the service provided. The boat was in fantastic shape even though it was 5 years old. I would highly recommend doing a trip like this.

Sailing the BVI with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi on Seas The Day was a fantastic experience! Chef Linzi’s food was amazing and Captain Andy’s “chart chats” kept us all informed along the way. Andy and Linzi made the experience one to remember!

What a week! We had the pleasure of sailing with Andy and Linzi through the British Virgin Islands on their boat “Seas the Day”. Starting with the food, Linzi is an amazing chef! We had different dishes every night, always with dessert and always delicious. Meals were varied – steak, seafood, salads, curry, etc. She also provided Linzi’s “nibbles” on the top deck around 5:30 which we looked forward to daily! Andy kept us on course, highlighting the previous day and planning for the next one. Aside from being a very handsome lad (consensus on the boat), he clearly knows what he’s doing! He took us through all the great spots, adding his opinion but never pushing. In short, it was one of the best vacations I have ever been on! Thank you Mom (Linzi) and dad (Andy)!

Our first time in the BVI was a beautiful experience with Kendrick, Shyan and Vicky! A week cruising all the best places was a wonderful with this crew! The food was awesome (Vicky is an excellent chef), Shy took care of us like a champ and that can be challenging with our gang lol. We had lots of laughs and got to know the crew and feel they have become part of our family. We got lots of hugs and said we would stay in touch and will be back to see them for sure! Thank you Kendrick, Shy and Vicky for all that you did, making us feel right at home on your boat and so glad we had you as our crew for the week we were with you! See you again ( hopefully soon) stay safe and keep in touch, we love you guys! 🥰

My husband and I chartered a catamaran- Andromeda with 4 other couples and crew. We started in Tortola, Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Marina Cay, Jost Van Dyke and Norman Island. We made many familiar stops like The Baths, Tipsy, Cow Wreck, Diamond Cay, Sandy spit, Soggy Dollar, Foxy’s and of course Willie T’s! We had the best lobster ever at the Wonky Dog!
This was our first trip to the BVI’S but not the last. We travel all over the Caribbean but nothing compares to the BVI’S!
Our crew was exceptional Kendrick, Vicky and Shiann! They showed us all the good spots and we enjoyed their company as well! Vicki was the best chef ever!
If you’re looking for a good time be sure to check this catamaran and crew out!

We have been sailing with the Moorings for over 30 years. They have always provided top-notch customer service and excellent sailboats. In the rare few times there has been an issue (as happens with sailboats), they have been very responsive. We will continue to use them in the future.

Good organisation, clean marina, nice cruising area. BUT how to get there and get back is quite difficult esp. with intercarribean airlines

Had a fabulous week aboard the Knotty Toddy with Capt Richard and Chef Shelly. BVI’s are beautiful and the crew made sure we had everything we wanted and needed. Itinerary was well managed based on weather and our preferences. Meals were fantastic and the most picky eater in our family gave the food a 10/10. A truly memorable family week!

Sailing the BVI’s – what a trip!

We just got back from an unforgettable sailing trip around the BVI’s. This was a week-long couple’s trip and the eight of us were completely blown away. Blown away by the beauty of the islands, the amazing sites, the smooth sailing but above all our incredible crew – Captain Andy and Chef (extraordinaire) Linzi.

This dynamic duo was undoubtedly the reason we enjoyed ourselves so much. A wonderful couple who made us feel so welcomed from the moment we set foot on their boat. Their attention to detail, easy-going and relaxed manner and just their all-around friendly nature only added to the beauty which surrounded us. We’ll miss Captain Andy’s nautical tips/insights and of course Chef Linzi’s gourmet meals (not to mention her famous pre-dinner nibbles).

Being our first time, we really did not know what to expect and went in with open minds. We explored some popular sites, snorkeled amazing locations, sat on secluded beaches and some days we just stayed onboarded and chilled.

We booked through the Moorings, which we’d highly recommend. They made everything easy from start to finish and were always super-responsive.

Thanks to the Moorings, and more so thanks to Captain Andy and Chef Linzi for allowing these eight friends to make such amazing memories.

This review must start with Captain Andy & his amazing wife, Chef Linzi who were not only unbelievable welcoming, fun, and interesting to be around, but also incredibly organized and flexible over the course of the week we spent with them.

Our party of eight sailed the BVI’s for the first time and the two of them made it one of the most memorable trips we’ve ever taken. From the customized itinerary to the onboard fine dining (breakfast, lunch & dinner); each day was filled with something new to see, explore, and of course eat.

I’ll add that The Moorings, as an outfit for chartering these amazing vessels was also equally great to work with and made organizing our special trip very easy.

As a group, we all agreed that we’d sail again with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi in a heartbeat and would highly recommend them if you are considering a charter with crew. We’d like to personally thank them again for an amazing experience.

Shelly and Richard made every moment of our trip magical! Our boat was spotless, the food incredible, and their company was so lovely.
Reservations, locations, and itinerary were planned and executed easily thanks to them!
Thank you for the incredible adventure aboard the Knotty Toddy. Shelly and Richard provided a vacation filled with pure joy and memories of a lifetime.

As the year comes to an end we reflect on our most wonderful celebration trip with Moorings in November. We spent a week sailing around the BVIs on a luxurious catamaran superbly crewed by Sophie and Robin. Nothing but high praise and thanks from us for their friendly but professional care. Delicious inventive meals were provided by Sophie. She also magically kept our berths spotless when we weren’t looking. Robin steered us around the various islands and bays making the most of the amazing swimming and snorkelling in the area. We felt totally relaxed, helped from time to time by the fabulous cocktails that Robin conjured up. We’d done a similar trip for our 50ths – the 20 year gap was worth waiting for and we would highly recommend.

Thanks for the fantastic charter on Seas the Day with crew Andy & Linzi. Lifelong memories of seas, sun, snorkeling and even a little nautical learning. Appreciate the thought put into our itinerary and the menu throughout the trip. Looking forward to future trips!
