Paradise, Served Daily

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!

We recently sailed with friends and Captain Andy and Chef Linzi.
It was an amazing experience!! Captain Andy met with us over Zoom before the charter to get an idea of what we wanted and planned what islands we would visit. We learned about sailing with his daily “chart chat”. The food was outstanding but our favorite was “Linzi’s Nibbles” and Andy’s cocktails before dinner.
I highly recommend Moorings and Andy Linzi!!

A crewed yacht (4500L sailing catamaran) in BVI was the best trip ever. Took the family of four (kids 17 & 22 yrs) and we all had a great time on the five night cruise. So relaxing. Service was excellent. Captain Jackie was a pro and crew Marlyn created the best meals. Cocktail hour was a fun assortment of new drinks to try every night. Every stop was breathtaking and gorgeous. Great snorkeling and water fun every day. Hit popular tourist spots as well as some quiet coves. All fantastic! Saw several sea turtles, rays, and lots of fish. As working parents who needed a break from the usual grind, this was ideal and so relaxing. Worth every penny!

We did a crewed 7-day trip in the BVI’s and the trip and the Crew were amazing. Francesco our Captain and Nika the chef were so great. Beyond our expectations. They made every effort to make sure we had a great time and a fabulous vacation. Can’t think them enough. Chip

This was our first experience chartering a catamaran in the BVI. Our trip exceeded any expectations we had. Jos (Captain) and his wife Chivon (Chef & much more) were amazing. The food was better than most high end restaurants. It was very evident that they love what they do and that translated into us having an unforgettable experience. They made sure we got to the best islands on the right days to take advantage of the weather and wind conditions, things we would have never known if we were doing it on our own. We can’t thank Jos and Chivon enough. Hopefully we can have an opportunity to do it with them again some day.

Our 7 – night Crewed Sailing out of the BVI was excellent. Some of the things were out of our control and us just being lucky. The 45 ft. catamaran, Knotty Toddy, crewed by Capt. Richard and Chef Shelly (Birdie) were selected for us (we picked the size and kind of boat). They were the best crew, I don’t think anyone could have been better. Richard planned and delivered a wonderful itinerary based on what we wanted. Shelly prepared amazing meals and was a charming hostess the entire sailing. She must be part wizard to get so much out of that small galley.
The other thing that was amazing was the weather and sailing conditions. We got lucky there (we did pick the dates of our sailing).
Glad we did:
White Bay Beach Day with visit to the Soggy Dollar, Cane Garden Bay, sailing and snorkeling around Virgin Gorda, sightseeing drive around the north end of Virgin Gorda by taxi, the Baths (visit Mad Dog Bar), the view from Hog’s Heaven Bar Virgin Gorda, Saba Rock Resort
Takeaways:
When speaking to the Moorings reservation representatives, ask a lot of questions. The Moorings have a large data base of information they can send you if you ask them.
Talk to your pre-departure concierge as soon as you can, they will help you a lot. Our concierge was Paul Patterson and he as excellent.
If a crewed sailing, be clear on your preference sheet on you likes and wants (remember space is limited on these boats), let your captain know what you want to do. Do not over plan, sometimes conditions dictate.
Yes, we most definitely do it again!

While avid travelers, boaters, and outdoor adventurers, our family had never done a multi-day boat or cruise. We took our family of 4 (teen and pre-teen) on our first fully crewed charter in the BVI in December. Anis and Tery took such great care of us. Each day laying out options for adventures and locations, Tery providing delicious food throughout the week. What a wonderful experience! We all had such a great time, relaxing and site seeing in this beautiful part of the world. We will definitely be back, and crew with Anis and Tery again!

We chartered a 45 foot crewed catamaran for 7 days. This was, by far, the best vacation I have been on! Our Captain, Anis, and cook/steward, Tery were simply the perfect crew! Expert handling in some difficult conditions, combined with a local knowledge of the best places to go made Anis a captain I will always seek out. The food Tery prepared was gourmet from start to finish with each meal topping the previous. The two made a team I hope to return to every time I go.
The facilities and the equipment were top of the line. It is obvious no expense was spared to make the operation smooth and safe. The itinerary was well thought out and offered us every opportunity we asked for. We wanted some seclusion, some lively areas, some snorkeling, some kayaking, some hiking and, of course, sailing! The Moorings and Anis/Tery delivered on all accounts. There was not a single thing I’d change.
We had 2 couple on the 45 foot and had plenty of room. A third couple would be fine, but tighter. We toured Anis’ new 50 foot and could easily see 4 couples enjoy that space!
Thank you Anis, Tery, and The Moorings!!
