Testimonials

Our week spent in BVI with our Captain (Romano) and Chef Silvia was amazing. Romano kept us safe and accommodated our needs and got along so well with our group.
Silvia worked so hard to make special meals for us, all delicious and beautifully presented at each sitting. They took such good care of the boat, as if it was their own home.
The islands were beautiful, the water was crystal clear, and the company was great!
Thank you Romano and Silvia for taking such good care of us and making our vacation so special! We hope to sail with you again!

We had the most amazing week on “Happy Endings” (5800) with Captain Dale & our cook, the angel of the Caribbean, Jan! The boat is beautiful and spacious. Our family of 4 sailed in early July…the weather was perfect and we enjoyed the low crowds. We did encounter some jelly fish and seaweed which kept us from being able to snorkel and/or enjoy some of the beaches, but there were plenty of other amazing spots to enjoy so it all worked out! The boat was so clean and in great condition, Jan made sure of that every day. Jan made us the most delicious meals and was always so thoughtful to ask what we liked and would prefer. She took the best care of us in so many ways and always kept our bathrooms and our rooms so clean. We just can’t say enough and we really hope to sail again with this crew and Moorings!

Anyone who has ever chartered a yacht knows that the crew can make or break your vacation Look no further if you’re trying to find the absolutely PERFECT crew…Dino and Anna are a choice you’ll remember forever. Promise…

Dino: An exemplary professional and extremely knowledgeable, mixed with a quiet calm (he’s laid-back😁)
On the gem scale….Dino’s a diamond!
Anna: An outstanding chef, perfect at being there for our every need with the uncanny ability to disappear (we felt like we had our own private cat where delishouness would just appear!!)
Anna’s absolutely magical!

Dino and Anna both have degrees in maritime studies. Dino also has a history degree. So, his knowledge was incredibly fascinating. Private guide/history teacher AND experienced Captain. Lucky us😊

These two enhanced our vacation in every possible way.
They both ROCK!!! ♥️🤍💙🇭🇷🇺🇸
Definitely coming back, but, only if I can sail with DINO AND ANNA. 😁😁

(Boat condition was exceptional)

We had the most shading week sailing with our skipper Patrik. He was so cool and knew the waters like the back of his hand. I’d love to come back again with more friends and family.

Cannot recommend the Moorings Belize enough. Profesional operations with well kept, top notch boats. Spent 7 days exploring the Cayes of Belize from Placencia with my wife and 3 boys. Fantastic adventure!

I took my niece on her dream vacation for her 28th birthday. This is the first time I’ve done anything like this, and I was a bit anxious about two women being on a boat in the middle of nowhere with a male captain I knew nothing about. (More on Moorings lack of communication later).

Enter Captain Radge!
As soon as he stepped on the boat – we sailed Cattyshack – I gave him a hug and said “We are family now!”
It turns out that I had NOTHING to worry about. Radge quickly became like family, and took such good care of us girls! He nicknamed me “Tia’ immediately – loved it!

Moorings, GIVE RADGE A RAISE!!!

We had the time of our lives!
The boat was wonderful. Perfectly comfortable for the 3 of us, and had everything we needed. We had a slight malfunction the second morning, but we were close enough to Placencia, and Moorings honored their 4-hour guarantee by sending out two guys to fix it and get us on our way. The rest of the trip could not have been more perfect.

Radge is not only a top-notch captain, but he could easily be a professional chef! He cooked for us on the nights we didn’t go out to eat on some island somewhere. We honestly thought we would – and were happy to – be eating PBJ, tuna sandwiches, and hotdogs. But we ate like queens! He used HIS provisions for US!
(HINT: If your captain buys provisions and cooks their provisions for you, take them out to dinner with you when you eat on an island! Heck, even if they don’t. They are working 24/7, and it’s the right thing to do.)

Now for some constructive criticism, MOORINGS: Once I booked and paid, I didn’t hear another thing from the Moorings. I thought I’d get a couple of check-ins, maybe a heads up from the local base who our captain might be, what to expect when we got there, etc. Your website has a lot of information, yes. Is it easy to find? It could be easier, honestly.
I spent about $200 to have provisions ON the boat already, and we grocery shopped for about $200 more.
I had NO idea that captains often shop as well, using THEIR provision money, and will cook for the guests.
Had I been able to talk to our captain ahead of time, I could’ve bought what we all wanted, what Radge needed to cook meals, and could have save a TON of money and not wasted food or money.
MOORINGS, maybe rethink your pre-sail communications. Many of us have no idea what we are getting into, and TOO MUCH information is not a bad thing. For instance, a list of nearby grocery stores, captain bios on the website, taxi info, etc.
Yes, I now know I could’ve called the Moorings base in Placencia, but I didn’t know that ahead of time.

All in all, we had a perfect 5 days on the water.

Thank you to everyone at Placencia base!

Spent an amazing week on a catamaran and have only good things to say. Water is crystal clear and temperature was perfect.
Big thanks to our awesome captain Dino who happened to be a historian too and gave us a historian tour of each marina and island we visited.
Would definitely recommend and want to come back too!!

We just completed a perfect 7 days on a moorings 45’ Cat skippered by Dino. I cannot say enough about the trip. The boat was in perfect condition and everything worked. The route planning was excellent showing us wonderful diversity with cruise segments of just the right length. Overnight stops were great and restaurant recommendations were Amazing. Could not recommend any stronger than I do. Wonderful trip.

We had an incredible vacation with Captain Cosy and Chef Jan!! This was my first sailing experience, and is now my favorite kind of vacation! Cosy and Jan created a wonderful relaxing atmosphere where everything was taken care of. We had a perfect combination of relaxing and activity. Cosy provided great advice on where to go and what to do, and Jan made the most amazing food – no need to eat at any island restaurant! You won’t find better!! They took all our preferences in for food and drink, and the entire experience was amazing!! I can’t wait to do a sail vacation again, preferably with Cosy and Jan!

OMG everything was perfect and amazing. Dino was our skipper. I can’t imagine how different our trip would have been (not as good) without him. He kept us safe, took us to the best spots, indulged our every wish, was interesting (history and culture) and helpful, and all around we feel like we got so lucky with him. Our boat (Bagheera) was in great shape and worked well. The sea and islands and town were soothing and beautiful. 100 stars!

We had the most wonderful time. Andel and Josena were the most wonderful hosts! the boat was super clean and the food outstanding!!!! The vacation was a dream come true!! Thank you!

We loved our trip and Our Chef Lauren was amazing! She and our Captain, Levi, are the best! To please our party of 9 was not an easy task but they did it with ease!

Let’s start with the Mooring Hotel in Tortola where we stayed for 1 night prior to boarding our catamaran. It was outstanding, bar, food, pool, a little ship, liquor store.
The Catamaran was fantastic. 6 suites (one for the Capitan and Cook. Spacious and everything worked.
The food… wow !! No reason to go to restaurants around. You will not eat better food.
All the requested drinks were on board.
I do scuba and snorkel, and brought my mask. Their equipment on board was great. If I knew, I wouldn’t have brought it.
The Capitan was very accommodating and knowledgeable.
We were able to Bluetooth into the ship’s stereo. We played and dance throughout the trip.
I had questions and concerns about cell phone reception in this trip. We all left behind kids and our practices, reason for the concern. I ended buying the Garmin inReach. I’m glad to inform that there was signal EVERYWHERE we went. I never touched the Garmin.
I strongly recommend this trip.

Moorings facilities and charter boats are excellent. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pre trip chart briefing was outstanding. Croatia is a beautiful, warm and friendly country. Everyone speaks English. We had our best vacation ever here.

Great trip. Technical and customer service were excellent when we had trouble with our 41.3 Dufour. Hotel service was not consistent, but most people were great. Base is fantastic, convenient, and lovely. Don’t hesitate, go for it.

Fantastic trip. The crew on our catamaran were friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and fun. Delicious food, incredible views, beautiful sights. The best way to see Croatia

We had the most incredible time with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi on our very first private, fully crewed catamaran sailing trip around the British Virgin Islands! From start to finish, it was the trip of a lifetime!

Captain Andy crafted a fantastic itinerary, taking us to some of the most beautiful spots in the BVI — including Cooper Island, Virgin Gorda, Anegada, Scrub Island, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman Island. Each stop brought new adventures: snorkeling, beach time, sunshine, and endless fun on the water!

Chef Linzi elevated the entire experience with her thoughtfully curated meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner — every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. Her evening “nibbles” paired perfectly with Captain Andy’s signature cocktails, setting the tone for relaxing, unforgettable nights onboard.

Captain Andy and Chef Linzi were beyond amazing — professional, warm, and fun. They made us feel completely safe and cared for, allowing us to fully unwind and enjoy every moment. We can’t thank them enough for making this trip so special. Hoping to plan another adventure with them soon!!

We highly recommend booking this kind of adventure through The Moorings — and if you can, sail with Andy and Linzi. They’ll make it truly unforgettable!

If you’re considering exploring the British Virgin Islands by catamaran—do it! And if you’re lucky enough to get Captain Richard (aka Yum Yum) and Chef Birdie, you’re in for the absolute trip of a lifetime.

Captain Richard knew all the best snorkeling spots, hidden gems, and local hot spots. His knowledge of the islands was incredible, and he struck the perfect balance between adventure and relaxation. We felt like we saw the very best of the BVIs, without ever feeling rushed.

Chef Birdie blew us away with her cooking! She thoughtfully accommodated a few dietary needs in our group, and every meal was creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. She went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt taken care of.

This was hands-down our best vacation ever. From the scenery to the service to the unforgettable experiences, everything was truly perfect. We’re already dreaming of our next adventure!

Our first time sailing the British Virgin Islands in June was a magical experience aboard Seas the Day.

The fully-crewed charter included Captain Andy and Chef Linzi whose experience, attention to detail and hospitality made our trip absolutely perfect!

The catamaran was gorgeous – well kept, roomy and stocked with everything you can imagine. Captain Andy was fun and engaging, teaching us about sailing and knowledgable about all of the islands.

Chef Linzi is absolutely phenomenal, whipping up delicious 5-star meals for our group of 8. There was nothing that disappointed.

If you are thinking about taking a trip to the BVI, I highly suggest The Moorings and Captain Andy and Chef Linzi on Seas the Day!

Sailing vacations are great family fun. The yachts are beautiful and well maintained. Moorings has a great support team to help over the phone or dispatch as needed. I’ve had a dozen great trips with The Moorings in various parts of the world.
