Crewed Charter Special

Girls trip!! Five of us and the very best captain Kevin “Jamba” Chinnery had a wonderful week of sailing, snorkeling, eating, drinking, exploring, laughing and just thoroughly enjoying our time in the BVIs. I highly recommend The Moorings and Shape Up II and especially Captain Jamba. We appreciate his sailing skills! Even though we booked during the “off season” and several tourist places were not open, the places that were had the most hospitable people and welcomed us with warm smiles and cool drinks.

What trip of a lifetime. It was amazing it was a group of 5 girls on a girl getaway. We each had our own room and bathroom and plenty of space outside and in. The front net with the bean bags was my favorite to explore the islands and beautiful turquoise waters. All of this was made better by our captain Kevin “Jamba”, Jamba was accommodating he would take the dinghy and run to the market for anything that was needed and a lot fun. He was a great guide to see the BVI. I highly recommend asking for him if you are sailing in the BVI with The Moorings.

Three generations of our family gathered in Tortola to cruise the beautiful British Virgin Islands. All ages loved the adventure, especially the kids, (all new to sailing, ranging in age from 6 to 14. They were enthralled with their ‘fishing’ attempts! We had an excellent skipper, Gilson, who made the trip even better. We lucked out with wonderful weather, in spite of it being hurricane season. Hope to go again next year!

One of the best vacations we have ever taken. We rented a power cat 13 years ago and the second time around did not disappoint. Going in Sept is very different. Many places are closed but if you like the peacefulness of being the only boat around and having some of the natural wonders to yourself it was a good time to go. We did 1st night on boat at the dock then 6 days on the boat around the BVIS. The only admission fee we had to pay was for some overnight mooring and the fee for the Baths. All of the staff at the Moorings was super friendly and helpful. This is the best vacation for friends, family and new experiences.

I was crew for this sailing adventure and not the captain. The Moorings facility in Marina Argana was very nice and the staff were friendly, professional, and helpful. Facilities at the marina are nice. We sailed a nearly new Moorings 42 catamaran and it was a nice size for a crew of 8. The catamaran only sails about 60 degrees to windward, but on a reach and downwind it sailed very well. Most of the systems worked on the boat, except for the starboard side holding tank which filled and would not empty halfway through the trip. So all 8 of the crew ended up sharing the two heads on the port side of the boat. We were glad those port bathrooms worked. Marina Argana is an extremely convenient location for access to the Croatian islands near the historic town of Split.
