We had a week charter as a family with Captain Dwayne and had the absolute best time! Captain Dwayne knew fantastic spots and was confident and competent during storms. Our boys had the time of their lives fishing and diving for lobsters. We stoped at numerous snorkeling spots and various cayes within the reef. Thank you Moorings, and especially Captain Dwayne for an unforgettable week!

We just returned from an incredible yacht charter with The Moorings out of Placencia, Belize, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

From the moment we arrived, the team at the base, under the outstanding management of Renee, made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Everything was organized, professional, and seamless. Our yacht was in pristine condition—immaculately maintained and fully prepared for an amazing week on the water.

The highlight of our trip was our skipper, Rudy Williams. He truly went above and beyond to make our charter unforgettable. Rudy’s knowledge of the area led us to some of the most beautiful anchorages, snorkeling spots, and hidden gems that we never would have found on our own. His warmth, professionalism, and genuine passion for sailing were evident every day, and his enthusiasm made every part of the journey more enjoyable.

If you’re considering a charter from Placencia, we can’t recommend The Moorings highly enough. Between the exceptional base team, a beautifully maintained yacht, and the outstanding experience Rudy created for us, this was one of the best sailing vacations we’ve ever had. We look forward to returning!

A once in a lifetime trip was experienced by our group on a 7 day voyage with Captain George and chef Silvina. Our expectations were exceeded every day with wonderful meals and amazing sights. Our crew attended to our every need and remembered little details about what we liked or didn’t care for. If you are looking for total relaxation and you love the sea, this is a trip for you.

We had a wonderful time exploring BVI on a 50 ft. Moorings catamaran. Captain Steph and her partner Julia were wonderful! Steph was very skilled at taking us everywhere we wanted to go and Julia made us the most delicious meals! We ate off the boat for dinner once and were actually sorry we did! No restaurant could touch her creations!! The boat was well equipped with toys (paddle board, kayak, swim mat, etc. ) and the bedrooms were actually a lot more spacious with more storage than we expected! great trip with the family! Highly recommend!!

I chartered with The Moorings out of Placencia for a week last month, and the entire experience — from the staff to the boat itself — was great.
From the moment we arrived, the team was organized, welcoming, and happy to help. Check in was smooth, paperwork was quick, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. The chart briefing was thorough without being overwhelming, and they answered every question with patience and confidence. Ours being a bareboat charter, I wish I had asked a few more questions.
The dock crew was equally impressive. They helped with luggage, assisted with provisioning, and made sure we were comfortable on board before departure. On our early morning return, the process was just as efficient — no stress, no confusion. We all made our flights out back to Belize City
Our sailing catamaran was in excellent condition: clean, well maintained, and fully equipped. Systems mostly worked as expected — engines, generator, electronics, galley equipment. VHF radio had some issues and we were challenged with the water maker for a few hours – nothing to impact our trip. The layout was comfortable for our group, with plenty of space to relax, cook, and enjoy the evenings on board.
Overall, this was one of the smoothest charter experiences I’ve had. The combination of a well prepared boat and a professional, friendly staff made the entire trip easy and enjoyable. Highly recommended!
