What Our Customers Are Saying

armenp2018 Belize

We had sailing with Moorings in BVi and Nassau but this is by far the best managed base we had chartered from. Renee (base manager) runs a well-organized base. Diego did a very thorough chart briefing and Kevin did an excellent ship walk thru. Boats were very clean and fresh, nothing missing, nothing broken (nothing essential, anyway), very clean and nice boats. Highly recommend Moorings in Placencia.

lindsaychristie2 Belize

Absolutely loved our time chartering in Belize and felt well taken care of by the Sunsail/Moorings team (thank you Kevin and Mateo!). Had a great boat, great weather, and loved all the different island stops. Such a treat, we will be back!

G6188JLrogerf Agana

Our sincere thanks to the excellent Moorings holiday planners, reception staff and marina team of the Moorings Marina Agana. Our special thanks to the lovely Mirna Jaksic who resolved our last minute changes and introduced us to the amazing Skipper Edi Juricic who guided us through an unforgettable week aboard the Moorings 403PC.
Edi, you are an absolute star !!!!
Your great sense of humour, engaging mind, amazing knowledge of the islands and your determination to guide us through an unforgettable 7 day cruise, finding all the best coves with crystal clear waters and a fine array of authentic restaurants with nothing ever being too much trouble. It has been a real privilege to spend the week cruising the Southern Islands with you.
We would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending chartering with the Moorings Marina Agana and their excellent team and should you ever have the privilege of cruising with Skipper Edi, you will have an amazing holiday to remember.
Roger, Sue & Janet.

jags1995 BVI

We spent an amazing week of sailing with Captain Laura! The BVI continues to be one of Earth’s beautiful locations and we were so pleased to share it with our kids and spouses who had not been. The boat was in great shape, and we had no issues during our 7-day charter. It was especially fun because the wind was blowing pretty hard for May and we loved our long sailing days! Captain Laura was very flexible with our destinations, allowed us to help out as mates, and took incredible care of all six of us. She is conscientious, friendly, engaging, and exudes confidence as a captain. We would definitely sail again with Laura!

raykC5512IU BVI

Our family of eight had the best possible experience with Andy and Linzi during their last voyage on Sea’s the Day in BVI. They have now moved to a new boat, McLovin life, which should be equally fantastic. Andy’s itinerary for the week covered all of the major islands in BVI, including a full day on Anegada. He handled the boat with phenomenal expertise and paired stories to each day‘s adventure. Every single meal that Linzi prepared was exquisite, including her famous pre-dinner nibbles with boat drinks. The cabins were very clean with daily cabin service and provided comfortable lodging for all eight adults. My whole family agreed that this was the best vacation we have taken to date.
