Testimonials

We had a great trip to BVI’s with captain Francesco and Chef Nika.
Beautiful islands with great friends and great food. F and N were very knowledgeable and shared tons of information about each island we visited. They certainly made it a memorable week.

Our group has bareboat chartered with Moorings in over a dozen times in four locations around the world and Belize is consistently the best of the lot. The yachts are well-maintained, scrupulously clean, and always mechanically fit for sea. Diego, Mateo, and Kevin are standouts and always exceed expectations in providing intelligent, attentive service. Of all the bareboat chartering companies, Moorings is the best and of all the Moorings operating bases, Belize is the best of all!

Sailed with Skipper Laura over New Years. It was an amazing trip. She was extremely competent and had great suggestions for the Itinerary as we went along the trip. We had a great time and I definitely recommend sailing with Moorings and with Skipper Laura.

I don’t normally write reviews but this trip was one worth noting. Our family had the opportunity to sail with The Moorings and Captain Laura Bello this past week. From our first introduction she was the ultimate professional. Helping us with our gear, introducing us to the boat and what we needed to know, and more than willing to let us learn from her experience. We discussed our intended travel route and she let us know which locations were better than others. Captain Laura allowed us to be as lazy or involved as we wanted to be. She even gave us the ability to sleep in as she woke early to secure our mooring balls for the day (they fill up fast). She had the best advice and told some great stories covering her time on the water. We took her out for dinner on our last night as we felt like family. I truly believe she spearheaded our once in a lifetime experience.

We just completed our second bareboat charter with The Moorings. Just as the first, booking, check in, chart briefing and departure was seamless. The staff at Moorings base in Tortola were friendly and very accommodating. There were eight of us on a 534PC. The boat was a little older than our first charter and showed a bit of wear although mechanically the boat was fine. We did have an issue with the generator. We contacted Tech Support and amazingly they had repair crew on site within 30 minutes to make the necessary repairs. We love the BVI and the islands have so much to offer…something for everybody. We have already booked out next charter with Moorings for December 2026.

This was an amazing trip and skipper Laura Bello was one of the key reasons. She reached out before the trip – helped design the itinerary- made restaurant reservations and reservations for Buggies on Anageda. She answered all my questions (first time chartering a catamaran). Because of her expertise and experience we relaxed and had an amazing trip! Highly recommend!

Just rented a 403PC for a week from The Moorings on Tortola. An excellent experience! The boat was in perfect condition and the staff couldn’t be more helpful.

Sylvia and Romano were such a pleasure! The meals were delicious and the itinerary well-planned. The boat was immaculate!! Our family enjoyed our time and look forward to booking with them again!

This was the most amazing experience I’ve had. I can’t recommend the Moorings out of Placentia enough. The boat was so cool with each of our family members having their own bed and bath. Our Captain Rudy was the best. Very experienced with all aspects of the boat/trip. He was more of a guide at one point showing us the many things you can do in Belize. By the end of the trip, he turned into a new friend and felt a part of our family. He made the experience even better than I could have imagined. I recommend the Moorings out of Placentia Belize big time!

Just returned from the most amazing week on “Seas The Day” to celebrate my brother-in-law’s birthday! The BVI is absolutely stunning and our catamaran was pure perfection. Everything was spotless, well maintained and fully stocked with everything we could want.
Captain Andy & Chef Linzi are two of the most wonderful people that we were blessed to spend the week with. Together we shared lots of laughs, many interesting stories & fun facts, early morning sunrises, late afternoon sunsets and gourmet meals way beyond our expectations. Our daily “Nibbles” and “Captain’s Cocktails” mixed with a little recap of the day from Captain Andy were truly a highlight!
We look forward to sailing with this 5-star ***** crew again in the future!

My wife first sailed in the BVI’s in the mid 70’s. As a family we have been sailing there for more than 25 years; we have sailed a good portion of the world with the Moorings. I’ve gotten old with a beat up skeleton and the wife and daughter convinced me to hire a skipper this time around. The Moorings hooked us up with Gilson Melo as the skipper, I was hesitant about him at first because of my 65+ years of sailing experience, it was hard to give up control, but within a day or two I was kicking back and enjoying myself. Gilson is fairly new to the BVI’s so we were able to pass along our years of experience and introduced him to some new hangouts/anchorages and people we have known there for years.

We’re already planning our next trip down to the Windward’s and have got to find a way to get the Moorings to let Gilson come down and skipper for us there even if we have to buy his airplane ticket. He’s not familiar with Grenada through the Grenadines but I know he’ll research the charts and heed our advise to anchorages and the various islands we care to return to.

If you are looking for someone that is skillful, passionate, professional and knowledgeable about his trade, I would highly recommend Gilson. We are looking forward to our next sailing adventure with him.

We were a family of 10 (ages 9 to 80) celebrating a big birthday. Fantastic trip on a crewed 58-foot catamaran. Captain, cook and steward made it a true vacation for all of us. Mostly we all played water sports off the boat: swimming ,snorkeling, kayaking, paddle-boarding, water-skiing, and tubing. There was little wind the week we were there, so we mostly motored from island to island. We are not sailors so that didn’t matter to us so much.

Food and drinks on board were better than the few restaurants we visited.

Everything was perfect! From the boat to the food and especially Romano and Silvia! They could not have been more accommodating and enjoyable. Planned the perfect week for our family!

Silvia and Romano were the absolute best! Silvia’s food was amazing. Romano made she we had fun every day. They knew the best spots to anchor and chill for the day. Most boats stay in really busy coves. Romano knew all the quite little bays that were so relaxing and quiet. By the end of the week Silvia and Romano were like family. It was sad to say goodbye bye.

Andy and Linzi created an environment of adventure, rest and reconnection for our family of 6 with kids ranging in age from 12-19. Each day we were captivated by the natural beauty surrounding us with a variety of locations among the islands along with water fun, snorkeling, and a little land exploration time as well. Linzi created culinary delights that took in all the senses and a sense of hospitality that allowed us space to connect as family.
Andy and Linzi are both fun and highly skilled; I’ve already recommended them to several friends.

We sailed on Seas the Day in April with a group of friends celebrating our 60th birthdays. We loved it so much that we took our family back for Christmas. Our second trip was just as wonderful and Andy and Linzi made our holiday so special. We were able to share all of our favorite adventures (including snorkeling and hiking) with our kids and Captain Andy took us to some new sites. You can make this trip as adventurous or as restful as you would like. Andy and Linzi are very accommodating and so much fun to be around. First and foremost, their top concern is the safety of all passengers. Everything is top notch – the boat, the sailing, the cleanliness, the well thought out itinerary and of course the beautiful water and scenery. Every meal that Chef Linzi served (and there were lots of them) was delicious. We all left with a few extra pounds. You will not regret spending your vacation on Seas the Day with Andy and Linzi. We’ll be back.

Our family just returned from an incredible one-week yacht experience in the British Virgin Islands with The Moorings, and it exceeded every expectation.
We opted for a captained charter and, honestly, Captain Kedon made the entire trip. We were a bit anxious at first about having a “stranger” on board with our family, but those worries disappeared almost immediately. Kedon was kind, knowledgeable, experienced, friendly, and incredibly accommodating. He took excellent care of us while also being genuinely fun to be around. What truly stood out was his ability to perfectly read the room—he knew exactly when to give us our space and when to join in the fun. That balance made the experience feel relaxed, comfortable, and personal from start to finish.
The boat itself was the perfect size for our family, in great condition, and very comfortable to live on for the week. Everything was well-maintained and thoughtfully set up, making onboard life easy and enjoyable.
The BVI islands are absolutely stunning, and each one offers something unique and special. Captain Kedon’s experience really shined here—he knew exactly where to go and when, guiding us to beautiful locations and finding us the perfect mooring spots, some private and some lively, depending on what we were in the mood for.
This trip was truly unforgettable, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with The Moorings again—especially if we can request Captain Kedon. Highly, highly recommend.

This was the adventure of a lifetime for our family. Yachting, Snorkeling, my 5yr old and 7 yr old jumped from Wiily T’s. Amazing.

My family had an amazing time on a Moorings charter in BVI with our experienced crew (Captain Garth and Christine)! This was an adventure for us and my 80+ year old parents and we felt safe and looked after while at the same time, having a wonderful vacation. Garth and Christine’s mapped out our voyage and they happily provided details about what to expect and level of difficulty, etc. Super helpful when traveling with an age-range of passenger from 16 to 82! We enjoyed the sailing, snorkeling, swimming, eating, drinking, relaxing, etc. etc. We made great memories on this trip with lots and lots of laughs and topped off Carib!

Perfection from reservation to checkout! Moorings 4200 was the perfect island hopper for our family of four. Plenty of fridge/freezer space and all the kitchen and grill tools to make this a true floating condo.
