We loved absolutely everything from start to finish! The catamaran far exceeded our expectations! The destination blew us away, and our skipper Thomas was brilliant!

Having the ability to do a one way charter for five weeks gave us a real sense of being on a journey.

Clean, comfortable, well equipped modern boat and excellent service form The Moorings team

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.

5/19/26 We just completed an 8 day charter on Naughti Dawg with Captain Gilson Melo at Moorings. This is the second time we chartered in the BVI, the first time in 2018 we did a Bareboat and had to rely on finding our own way around the BVI with the help of a Flotilla. While the bareboat was fun, it really was a ton of work and after chartering with a great captain I now know how much extra work and responsibility bareboating is versus with a captain. I also now know all the amazing BVI hotspots that we did not go last time because we did not have a professional Captain on board.

For this trip we hired a professional captain and it was truly amazing, every day was awe inspiring. I simply cannot praise Captain Gilson enough, he brings a wealth of knowledge about the BVI resulting in the most awesome BVI charter experience. Having Captain Gilson at the helm and benefiting from all his expert yachting knowledge, his BVI wisdom and insights, and his hands-on approach to each activity ensures every day is a delightful adventure, and that the entire crew experiences everything there is to see and more in the BVI. I whole heartedly recommend Captain Gilson for anyone wishing to experience the BVI, especially if you want to see all the best locations, snorkel the most amazing reefs and caves, go Moking at Anagada, and enjoy the best dishes onboard and at the best restaurants.

Lastly, we did do the jump at Willy-Ts and Captain Gilson was right there beside us jumping, he was the one doing a back flip 🙂 Such an amazing trip for our entire family…

Staff is always great and friendly, everything ready, very organized, great place to charter a boat and see things you can’t see any other way

We enjoyed a bareboat charter with a captain at the moorings. The check-in was smooth, and our boat was all set for our adventure. Our captain was Mathieu Martinez, and he was truly amazing! He kept us safe throughout the trip and was a wonderful communicator with our family. He made our time on the boat incredibly easy, choosing fantastic snorkeling spots and being incredibly easygoing. We’re definitely planning to hire him again!

I had an absolutely unforgettable stay aboard the catamaran in the British Virgin Islands. The crew was exceptional — incredibly friendly, warm, and attentive, yet always respectful of our privacy. We felt completely at ease with them from the very first day, and our trust in them was absolute.
The cuisine on board was outstanding, far beyond what we expected. Every meal was delicious, beautifully prepared, and made with such care. One member of our group is coeliac, and the crew handled this with remarkable attention and professionalism. All meals were adapted safely and thoughtfully, without ever compromising on taste or quality.
This experience was truly perfect in every way. I would recommend this crew without hesitation to anyone looking for a magical and relaxing sailing vacation.

My parter and I spent a fantastic week on the Seadation 2.0 with excellent crew. Skipper Garth and chef/crew Christine were great with a vast knowledge and experience to provide ideal route to suit or needs. Sailing as often as possible. The sail to Anegada and back was wonderful. They keep the boat in spotless and like an “as new”condition. Amazing experience.

We just got back from celebrating my wife’s 60th birthday on Seas the Day with Captain Andy and Linzi. This our 4th time chartering with Moorings. This by far was our best experience. Andy and Linzi left no stone unturned in making sure our trip was exactly what we asked for. Linzi’s meals were impeccable! Linzi was very attentive to our dietary needs without sacrificing flavor or portions. You will never go hungry. Captain Andy made sure everyone was safe and comfortable. But most of all is his knowledge of the area. This enabled us to experience places which we had never seen. Our morning “chart chats” were informative and fun. The main thing that stood out to me was the cleanliness of organization of the boat. First Class!! I highly recommend this crew and will request them again on our next adventure.

We just returned from a fabulous one week sailing adventure with 3 other couples. We had a captain(Ricardo) and a first mate/chef (Anita) on the boat Nauti But Nice. They were both amazing! We were spoiled by their attentive service and wonderful meals. They had the boat stocked with all provisions including food, beer, wine and alcohol ! Anita made sure we were never hungry and Ricky handled the boat and dinghy like a master. In addition they were incredibly thoughtful and nice. We loved our time on the boat(5 cabin) and all of the island stops were unique and fun! This was our first sailing experience and we would certainly do it again!

Excellent excursion sailing with great friends. For 3 of us a return trip from our April 2024 adventure with Moorings. The catamaran was in excellent shape and well laid out. We rented the 5000 series with 5 staterooms and en-suite heads. My only complaint with Moorings is the pre departure briefing focused more on inventorying all items on the vessel with the briefing guy having us count every item onboard from utensils, pots and pans, cups to ropes, tools, etc and focused less on the actual operation of the vessel. Inventorying items onboard was a waste of an hour of briefing that should have already been completed by Moorings before we boarded. They failed to show us how to properly make fresh water and switch tanks that we were forced to have a mechanic come out to our boat 2 days into our sailing after depleting our water supply! They should have more focus on operational efficiency and less time of inventory concerns!!

We recently completed a 7‑day catamaran charter with Moorings in the BVI, and the experience was exceptional. The trip was seamless, relaxing, and truly memorable — largely due to our outstanding captain, Sebastian Verite.

Sebastian prioritized safety, consistently secured prime anchorage locations, assisted with dinner reservations, and guided us to unique spots well beyond the typical itinerary. His professionalism, local knowledge, and warm personality elevated the entire charter.

If you’re looking for a top‑tier captain for your next BVI charter, I wholeheartedly recommend requesting Sebastian. He works with multiple charter companies in the region and is simply outstanding.

Our 30th wedding anniversary trip could not have been more perfect.

Wow!! What an incredible trip!! Just got back from a 7 day crewed charter of the BVI. We were a party of 8 (4 couples) and we were lucky to have Romano and Silvia as our crew. They were so helpful and accommodating! We were treated so well, especially with Silvia’s delicious homemade meals and Romano’s special drinks! We had the best time!!! Thank you for everything!!

We planned this trip well in advance, as this was our 39th year of our “adventure club” – 4 professionals (MDs and Ph.Ds) getting together once a year to do something “adventurous”. The weather was perfect, the water was smooth, and the sailing was fine. We hit 5 islands in five days and mostly used the Boaty balls for overnight. I planned the meals and ordered the food items (except meat), and the boat was stocked when we checked in. The Moorings people were really great and we would definitely do this again!

We rented a 46’ power catamaran for a week with our family of 6, including kids ages 6 and 8. The boat was great, the weather was close to perfect and our trip was unforgettable – and one of the most memorable parts of the week was for sure captain Darko! He made our trip so extra special and was extremely patient, professional, fun, full of great information and stories, safe and wildly talented at docking in the smallest spaces I never would have thought possible! Captain Darko was really flexible and did his best to make an itinerary that got us everywhere we wanted to go in the safest and most efficient and weather-appropriate route possible. We really could not have asked for a better experience, in very large part thanks to captain Darko! He made everyone feel like a part of his crew and took extra care and time to make the kids feel like they were superstar helpers. 10/10 recommend!

This was my first charter so I don’t have anything to compare to, but Romano and Silvia made us feel at home in their home. I think we had a typical route with stops at Norman Island, Peter Island, Copper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, and Jost Van Dyke.

My favorite island was Anegada where we rented Mokes, ate lobster, stopped at some great beach bars, then went snorkeling along the reef.

Other highlights were The Baths, Bitter End and Saba Rock, I had a Painkiller at every bar, including Soggy Dollar.

We chartered a 4200 Catamaran out of the Moorings base in Tortola. This was our 27th sailing trip through the Moorings, and as has been our experience in the past, everything was A+. The boat was well prepared, provisioned, and ready for Charter. We would not consider chartering with anyone else. Additionally, Boatyball has my highest rating of taking care of their sailors. A great combination, and we have already booked our 28th trip for next spring.

The team at Agana is wonderful. Very supportive and flexible. They ensured our adventure was a success. Mirna was particularly helpful, ensuring we had reservations at our first stop and being flexible on our return. She went the extra mile to make the trip wonderful! Thank you, we will be back!

My friends and I had the most wonderful 5 nights aboard the Maggie Sea II with Romano and Silvia. They were incredible hosts. The boat was in great shape, the food was amazing, and they clearly took pride in giving us a great customer experience on all levels. They are both great people, fun and kind, very knowledgeable about the islands, and curated a great trip for us based on our preferences. We hope to be back and see them again soon!

We had the best experience with Cozy and Jan on Happy Endings! This was our 3rd year with them! We stayed 6 days and lived every minute! Jan’s food is far better than any restaurants around the islands!

This was the best vacation I’ve ever experienced. Beautiful scenery and very relaxing. Highly recommend the services of Captain Marin! Marin set a wonderful itinerary where we an le to experience all the best spots of the BVI. Totally OUTRAGEOUS customer service!

We had so much fun the first time, we just had to go again! This was our second trip with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. We did not think it was possible that the second time was better than the first – but it was! We took our children ages 26,24 and 22 and had the best family vacation in ten years. Perfectly cooked meals, coffee ready when you wake up, signature cocktails before dinner and probably ther best chef in all of the BVI. That is what you get when you travel with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. Captain Andy found some great out of the ways bays to anchor with small little bars with lots of character, amazing snorkelling and daily chart briefings where you always learned something. So much fun, safe, relaxing and outstanding trip. Who is better in the BVI than Captain Andy and Chef Linzi? NOBODY!

This was our second trip on Seas the Day with Chef Linzi and Captain Andy. We did not think they could beat our first trip, but they did! This time we took our children, ages 26,24, and 22 and had the best family vacation in ten years. Every day was an adventure. Who wouldn’t want an incredible breakfast to start your day, great sailing, small little out of the way bars with character and the best dinner in the BVI. Daily briefings on where we were going, little factoids about charting and just so much fun, everytime we dropped anchor. If you are ever thinking about cruising the BVI, stop thinking just do it and ask for Captian Andy and Chef Linzi.
