This was our 2nd time sailing with the Moorings. We had sailed in Tahiti a few years back. We decided to go sail Belize and we are so glad we did. We chartered a 50ft catamaran and hired a local captain which is a must in my opinion. The boat was beautiful and plenty of room for the 10 of us. Each couple had their own cabin and bathroom which includes a shower. Separate air condition thermostats in the room was a great feature. Full kitchen with all the accessories. Comfortable seating inside as well as out back and up top on the flybridge.
The Moorings helped us with transportation to their location and to the local market where we purchased our provisions for our journey. Make sure you go with more provisions than you think. Especially beverages including water! Tough to get provisions once you’re out on the water! We opted to do most of our own cooking but did venture to a few hidden places out on the water! We met the captain, loaded our gear and had a short briefing before taking off from the marina. Belize has some of the prettiest water you’ll ever see. Our captain was amazing! Captain Dwayne knew all the best places to see, places to go snorkeling and best places to catch a happy hour or meal. Capt. Dwayne is a true Waterman! You can tell he loves being on the water and sailing the catamaran. His knowledge of Belize and all its waters and reefs was truly impressive. Very accommodating to what we were interested in. I truly believe being out on the water for a week beats staying at a resort and doing excursions to some of the reef locations we visited. We just anchored or moored and woke up to amazing sunrises and ready to jump right into the water. Rays, sharks and plenty of sea life. Even a turtle! LOL. Beautiful coral formations too! It was really difficult to sail back to port but the lasting memories of our journey with our crew and Capt. D will always remain! In my opinion, the relative cost for a trip and experience like this is priceless but the Moorings offers a cost effective and affordable option for most travelers. You can do it cost conscious or go full board with a Capt. and Chef and have everything handled for you! Everyone should experience this type of vacation at least once! The Moorings can handle that for you and they have other locations that you sail from!

First time to ANTIGUA. What a lovely Island. Full of history and the people are wonderful. Super friendly and since we were after the peak season it wasn’t very crowded. We stayed for about 1 week aboard a 42 catamaran. Since most anchorages are sand you simply drop anchor, so no paying for mooring balls. We ate a few places and the staff at Carlise Bay were thee best. Delicious food and beautiful property. Mooring has all the options you need to have a great sail. You should be a bit more experienced as they claim, it’s a level 3 area. Some big seas on the windward side, east and southeast. Most places do not have a dingy dock so tides and wind might play havoc with your dingy. Felt super safe, and the wildlife, turtles, birds, fish for snorkeling all around the Island was lovely. Great place to tour coastlines off the dingy.

Just returned from a fabulous vacation to Croatia. I have traveled extensively throughout the world, ( to at least 8 different Moorings bases) and this truly is the best place to visit. Beautiful country, extensive history, great food and wine and wonderful friendly people.
We spent a week on a 50ft Moorings Catamaran and a week touring by a land-based bus. (there was a total of 33 of us) I won’t list all the sites we visited but all were exceptional – I could have stayed longer at any of them.
A special shout out to some of the Moorings Crew – Mirna Jaksic – at the base – great help – sent me numerous emails with super tips about where to go – arranged meals for our large group, as well as a tour of Vis. Johnny Roncevic – Charter Captain extraordinaire – lots of energy – knowledgeable – you should request him as well as Dino Bajic – great captain – native of Vis – both were exceptional. Will make your charter smooth and trouble-free.
In summary – Croatia is a special place – you must see it – and of course the best place to start is on a Moorings Charter. And one last shout out to Lisa Mayo at the Moorings office in Clearwater – she has worked with our group for many years – making difficult trips easy – lots of great advice and ALWAYS there for us (including helping us escape the BVI during the COVID lockdown!)

Boat was spacious clean and comfortable
The crew, Dennie the Captain and Alex the first mate and chef were outstanding and so attentive to all of our many preferences and needs
They worked morning until midnight

We sailed with the Moorings 50 foot catamaran in Croatia recently with 6 friends and had a wonderful experience! Johnny Ante was our Captain and did an incredible job. He got us to each island we were scheduled for and was flexible when we had to make a few changes, he recommended things to do at each port, had many friends at each one which resulted in us obtaining good mooring spots and reservations to great restaurants that he helped reserve for us. He was super personable and great to be with. The boat was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with everything you need from cooking pots to wine glasses. The Moorings had good customer service and offered clothes washing services at their facility which we were grateful for. I highly recommend the Moorings and ask for Johnny…you won’t be disappointed!!
