The location in Croatia (Agatha) was world class and we had a ball. So many safe bays to swim in and anchor up, great marinas to visit.

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!

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!!
-
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!
-
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.
-
What a fabulous holiday we had sailing around some of the beautiful Croatian islands and coast. Our skipper Max was excellent, accommodating, safe, hugely knowledgeable about the areas we visited, the food, the wines and most importantly he was very respectful. The Moorings marina staff were very friendly and welcoming and made our arrival and exit super easy. We will definitely visit again.

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! -
Our chartered Croatia trip way exceeded expectations. Not just because island hopping is amazing. We were fortunate to have Captain Deni and Chef Alex. She was beyond accommodating and cared deeply about the food she prepped and served. Deni briefed us each morning and presented different destination options. If you enjoy long and slow days that are about relaxing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, fishing, reading with your family or closest friends, Request Deni and Alex.

We just completed a week long cruise on the El Tropicat, a Leopard 50 catamaran, with Captain Deni and Alex. We were 4 couples + the captain & Alex. It was an amazing time. The locations were picture perfect, and we avoided the crazy Tik-tok crowds we had been warned against.
The weather cooperated- it was warm during the day but cooled down every evening for the perfect outdoor lounging on the boat. Coming from Miami, the weather was such a break from the humidity we endure at this time of year, and we enjoyed the break.
Swimming every day in the Adriatic can’t be emphasized enough. the water was brisk when first getting in, but you quickly acclimatized and it was wonderful.
The food chef Alex prepared was delicious and healthy. One of our party didn’t eat seafood- and since the overall menu was seafood heavy, chef Alex made something special for her each time.
This was our 2nd Moorings adventure, and we can’t wait for the next one. -
We had a great time. Some mechanical issues on board. Taken care by my crew.
-
Sailing the BVI’s is always nice, but getting really expensive and crowded.
-
Week on WakaWaka w/Captain JP . Had a great time ! JP was a great captain . Not only handle the boat with smoothness and ease but guided us throughout the trip with his knowledge of the islands and where to be at the right time . The boat was both comfortable and well kept . Highly recommend a week with Moorings and Captain JP

My friends and I had the perfect vacation in Croatia sailing around the islands of Korcula, Hvar, and Brac. Our skipper, Josip Boban, was the most amazing skipper we could’ve asked for. He planned where we were sailing, took us to the most beautiful bays, made our dinner reservations, and made sure our trip was as easy and relaxing as possible with an incredibly welcoming demeanor. Could not recommend him more highly for your next vacation. We are ready to come back next year!
-
We had a very positive experience with Moorings in the BVI. We attended the Moorings/BoatUS floatilla for 7 days. We chartered a 463 power cat, and handled it ourselves, just two of us. We had provisions delivered, but the Mooring Base camp has a great store on site. We spent a night in the hotel the day before. ALL staff were fantastic, and the locals were very friendly. The BVI was fantastic. Our boat, lime n coconut was really nice and had zero problems. Granted, you are chartering, if you have a problem, try to solve it yourself first. For example, I had to purge the water maker, then it worked great.
-
I had the pleasure of going on a week-long catamaran charter with my friends through The Moorings. We had THE BEST time and our skipper, Josip Boban, went above and beyond to make sure that our trip was well planned and special!!! We sailed from the Split area, exploring new islands and cities each day so that the experience really felt like we were getting as much out of it as possible. Josip was incredibly helpful in making dinner reservations and giving recommendations, as well as finding the most stunning bays to anchor and spend the day! Our trip would not have been the same without him!!
-
We chartered a 50’ catamaran with the Moorings out of Tortola. It was an amazing adventure with snorkeling every day. The captain and first mate(chef) handled the boat and all the details based on our requests. The sailing was carefree and the captain mastered the waves beautifully. I would highly recommend the Moorings and Flavio and Giovanna.
-
Our skipper, Chester LeRoux was the best part of our sailing experience. He was always working to make the week the best it could be, and he did. The ship had some technical malfunctions, but they were corrected promptly. We sailed for six days.

If you receive confirmation that Captain Andy and Chef Linzi are your crew aboard McLovin Life, stop reading and start celebrating — you’ve already won.
Our group of 8 adults just completed a week-long charter through the BVI and it exceeded every expectation. Andy is simply one of the best in the business. He navigated us through Cooper Island, The Baths at Virgin Gorda, North Sound, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island — hitting every iconic stop — while making it feel effortless and completely tailored to our group. He knows everyone in the BVI. Dock hands, beach bar owners, taxi drivers — Andy’s network opened doors (and moorings) that a lesser captain simply couldn’t.
But let’s talk about Linzi. Her cooking is flat-out remarkable given that she’s working in a boat galley. From a Caribbean chicken lunch on Day 1 to a curry dinner on the final night, every meal was fresh, creative, and genuinely impressive. And the nibbles — don’t overlook the nibbles. Each evening around sunset, Linzi would appear with something thoughtful and delicious, paired perfectly with whatever Andy had mixed up. It became the nightly ritual our whole group looked forward to.
What sets Andy and Linzi apart from other crews isn’t just the sailing or the food — it’s that they read a group. They know when to hang around and share a laugh and when to give you space to soak it all in. That instinct is rare and it makes all the difference on a week-long boat with 8 people. -
Excellent organization and leasing agent for our group. Would highly recommend as the staff was very accommodating and the boat was in excellent condition. Best way yet to get up close and personal to the BVI.
-
10/10 experience. We hit all of the popular spots and some hidden areas all by Captain Andy’s planning. Chef Lindzi’s cooking 4x a day was also amazing, it was liking sitting down at a nice restaurant every day for food. 10/10 and hope to do it again!
-
We recently spent an incredible week on Mclovin life with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi. I cannot say enough fabulous things about the both of them. Captain Andy is incredibly well educated and made all of us feel safe during the sails! Chef Linzi made the BEST meals I have ever had. Captain made sure we were all taken care of and had nothing to think about other than relaxing. I would 100% recommend booking a trip with these two specifically!!
