BVI Yacht Charter Reviews

We had a fabulous trip and experience. The Moorings was easy to work with, very thorough, excellent boat and turnkey experience.

Andy and Linzi of Seas the Day were the most amazing crew! They planned and executed the best itinerary and most delicious meals. Our group of 6 named this the best vacation we have ever been on.

Lindsay Roberts and the dock crew handled all of our problems and we were pleased with the results.

We had a great experience and our captain and chef were excellent.

Consistent working clean yachts.

Unlike last year, this boat was in great condition. The staff at the Moorings base was very friendly and helpful. This charter started midweek.

From the ease of getting everything on the boat with your staff help to cleanliness of the catamaran and finally the captain. We could not have asked for a better trip. Matt made it the best! He is a professional and knows how to make you feel like your in first class all the time. We are so thankful we had him as our captain. A trip of a lifetime that was enjoyed immensely!

We rented a chartered sail boat so we could fully relax and enjoy the area we were sailing. The Captain and Chef we amazing hosts you made our time very enjoyable! Amazing meals and great attention to detail with table settings and the making of our bed every day. They were always sure to go the extra mile.

Well organized, easy check in and check out, friendly staff and prompt response to problems or issues.

You are still the highest regarded charter company. I like the extensive boat options and locations

Excellent service, crew, island locations, and boat

Boat (53 ft Power Cat) was excellent; Crew (Pieter & Theresa) were exceptional; Overall service and communication.

easy to book, easy to pay, great service

Great equipment and more importantly, great people.

The catamaran was fabulous and the service was fantastic!

Friendly customer service and good selection of boats.

the experience helped our family bond. The captain and chef were excellent. The boat was clean and well provisioned. All of the people that we came in contact with were friendly and courteous.

Well organized trip

We were lucky enough to have a brand new boat. Everything was so nice and clean. Everyone at the marina were very nice and helpful from checking in to checking out.

Everything gets on normally very well by Moorings

Vacationed in BVI several times. One of the best places for sailing and staying in a different place each night. We have chartered with the Moorings several times, and each time they have made it a great experience. The people are great, and we have never had a problem with the boats.

We were so fortunate to sail on the Wasted Seamen with our captain, Francesco, and our first mate and chef, Nyka. It was just an amazing cruise and they made it so special.

The boat itself was in perfect condition and spotless. We had three fantastic meals a day prepared and presented beautifully by Nyka.

Francesco was so good about following our tentative itinerary and then adding in places that we haven’t visited before. My husband and I have sailed seven times in the Caribbean, but this was so memorable because of the places we sailed and the wonderful crew. They provided us with an amazing adventure!

Did our first trip to the BVI and went with friends on a 10 day bareboat sail around BVI. It did not disappoint. Moorings went out of their way to make us welcome and the check in process was simple. There staff is very attentive, professional and always there to help you from getting your luggage to the yacht, bringing ice and sundries from the provisioning store or showing you where the pool, bar and restaurant are located.

Amazing trip boat was everything we dreamed of! Captain Richard and cook Shelly were the best! Every day a new adventure and the meals were culinary to perfection 😀

We’ve done 7 bareboat charters and this was our first experience with Moorings Crewed Yacht charter, we couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. We were paired up with Francesco (from Italy) and Nika (from Slovenia) who felt like family by the end of the charter.

Francesco took us to places we’ve never been to before in the BVI, experiencing new activities and quiet anchorages. His knowledge of the islands, sea states, and prevailing weather patterns made a soggy forecast into a terrific sailing voyage. He made arrangements for taxi transfers to the Baths and a Conch/Snorkeling excursion. The outfit in Anegada for the conch excursion was a “no show” and he quickly sourced another outfitter (Sherwin) to take us out. Kudos to Sherwin for a great time and explaining the “hows” of conch fishing and making conch ceviche back at the boat.

Nika was a little energizer bunny, up early and late to retire, in between showing us the excellence of hospitality. The variety of dishes she prepared were extraordinary and we truly appreciated the family stories that accompanied each dish and their presentation. She prepared everything with our personal likes/dislikes in mind. We especially looked forward to sunset hour on the top deck and what was in store for us with Nika’s charcuterie tray and Francesco’s cocktail of the day. Nika not only was the chef but also performed the duties of first mate with skill of a true yachting professional.

There aren’t enough accolades to describe our enthusiastic endorsement of Captain Francesco and Chef/First Mate Nika for our crew of choice for the next time we choose a Moorings crewed yacht charter in the BVI.

We had an amazing time, the weather ended up being great, the boat was beautiful, and our captain Francesco and Nila were just amazing. This was the first time we had a captain and a cook, and we couldn’t have been any luckier than to have them as our crew. The food was amazing And Francesco took us to 29 different places in nine days. I would highly recommend them as your crew if you do a crew boat. We’ve been to the Moorings probably 9 to 12 times and have never been disappointed.

I highly recommend doing a trip with Moorings. Our captain and crew Danny and Snadrine did such a great job making it memorable trip. They went out of their way to make it an unforgettable experience. I could go on and on about how awesome they are. If you are lucky enough to go sailing with them you won’t be disappointed!

Great trip would do again. We went to amazing island and had fun on all of them. The food was great too. Sailing between islands was cool.

We sailed the BVIs as a family and could not recommend enough. The scenery was stunning and The Moorings provided first class service. Our captain Andy was amazing, taught us fun tips about sailing, and ensured safety was top of mind. Linzi was the most phenomenal chef. Our breakfast, lunch and dinner were unbeatable (see pictures for proof). We loved our crew and would definitely use this company again!

This was an epic Crewed family trip to Tortola with the best Captain & Chef in the BVI. As our Dynamic Duo, Andy and Linzi guided us to the best islands and served us the elegant meals. Their knowledge and sailing experience provided us safe passage throughout the week while entertaining us along the way. We will be back.

We just returned from a 10 day sailing vacation with The Moorings, our 23rd charter with them. We keep coming back to The Moorings because they always provide 1st class service and the charter fleet is always in top condition. You might be able to find it cheaper, but you will not find a more quality experience. Service and preparedness. We have already booked our next charter.

Our trip to the BVI was truly epic. We had a wonderful time sailing and enjoying the 50’ft catamaran. Our crew, Danny and Sandrine made every moment special. Meals were fabulous and Danny was a great captain.

Our catamaran had a generator issue, and Danny and Sandrine were absolute professionals working to fix the issue and not impact our vacation. Highest praise to our crew! Thank you!!

Picture 7 days of relaxation. Picture starting every day with coffee hand delivered by your amazing chef, jumping off your beautiful yacht and swimming in the Caribbean sea. Then a delicious breakfast staring out at the water. Seeing turtles and spotted eagle Rays jumping. Then image a skilled, competent, interesting and friendly captain sailing you to one wonderful island after another. The amazing chef delivers lunch and artfully crafted dinner. Lastly you fall asleep floating in a gorgeous bay. If you can picture this, you have just pictured our trip with the amazing captain/chef duo of Anis and Tery.

Quite the amazing 7-day vacation in BVI with the Moorings! This was our first charter with a catamaran powercat and Moorings captain to navigate our boat. Our captain “Shem” was terrific – knew all the best spots to visit from the secret bubbly pool at Jost Van Dyke, to yoga on Saba Island, and the best place for fresh lobster. We had 4 separate cabins for sleeping and 4 separate bathrooms (great so our family could stay a little independent). We purchased food to cook on the boat and balanced that with visits to restaurants on the islands. Our family snorkled, hiked, road electric scooters and had an incredible time. Already saving for our next family trip with the Moorings!

We booked a 10 day charter through the Moorings and had an absolutely wonderful time. What really made the trip was our crew, Francesco and Nika. I can’t imagine a better team. Francesco took us to all the best spots and was so skilled and experienced as the captain. He was always aware of changing weather and sea states to make sure we enjoyed our water activities. He also always picked the best overnight spots that were very peaceful. Nika was an absolutely amazing chef. Everything she made was so delicious. Her presentation and variety of the dishes were first class!! They always kept the boat so tidy and organized making sure we never lost any of our stuff that we always left around the boat. There was never anything that we needed that they weren’t already way ahead of us. They made the entire trip special and quickly became close friends with all of us. If you book a trip with the Moorings I can’t give a high enough recommendation to request Francesco and Nika, you will not be disappointed!!

what a great trip! moorings runs a top class experience. boat was clean and way more spacious than i expected. our skipper, rico, was top notch. ran the boat like a boss and kept us appraised of all situations and kept the trip humming on time. his interpersonal skill was exceptional and appreciated by all on board- he became part of the team! Thanks again for making our sail exceptional rico!!

As usual our annual trip (sometimes two per year) was wonderful through Moorings. The islands have been beautifully restored / rebuilt after the the hurricanes. We feel like this is our second home. Love making the rounds to all the usual spots and bonus this year was meeting DRAKE with RumRunners at Bitter End and Saba Rock. This is our 20th year with Moorings. Thanks for all of the Moorings Team members who take care of us!

Trip was awesome. We stayed in a marina two nights which was so nice stay out of the waves. Our captain, Khadin is the best. He is a local and knew all the best spots to eat and see. He tailored the trip to do things that we wanted to do. We liked snorkeling, cooking, and fishing. He took us to the best snorkel spots, took me fishing, and tracked down a fisherman so i could buy 2 lobster and 1 fish after we failed to catch fish. Being on the boat with him and planning the itenerary wasreally easy. We’ve dodged all the weather and he’s adapted our trip so we could go to Catholic mass in virgin Gorda Friday and sunday. St. Ursula church in virgin Gorda had plenty of mass times and very nice parishioners and priest who gave us a tour of the new church being built. Boat had some issues but the moorings was accommodating in fixing these issues. Highly recommend the moorings

After originally getting canceled 12 days before trip by another charter company, just returned from our crewed charter trip, aboard the beautiful Funky Miracle through Moorings, around the BVI and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we stepped aboard, we were met with warm hospitality from our skilled and fun captain Kenrick and an exceptional chef, Sebastien. Kenrick’s deep knowledge of the islands, calm expertise and embodiment of pure joy made every sail smooth, scenic, and full of hidden gems—from secluded bays to breathtaking snorkeling spots.

Equally impressive was our French chef, Sebastien, whose culinary prowess turned each meal into a 5 star feast that combined fresh local ingredients with gourmet flair. Waking up to a sun-kissed breakfast and winding down with a sunset dinner on deck made the entire trip feel luxurious yet relaxed.

The vessel itself was spacious, pristine, and outfitted with all the comforts you could want while exploring the crystal-clear waters of the BVI. This journey was the perfect mix of fun, adventure and indulgence. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an extraordinary getaway!

Jos and Chevone were amazing!! This was our first time staying on a catamaran as a family with an 11 and 8 year old. If you on the fence about taking this trip DO IT. From the time we stepped on the dock to the time we left Jos and Chevone were attentive to our every need. They were great with the kids and had a Halloween scavenger hunt for them on the boat. The food was top notch! They were very flexible in adjusting the itinerary based on what we wanted to do as a family. One of our top vacations yet and we look forward to doing again very soon!
