Testimonials

We were invited to enjoy a bucket list trip of a lifetime with good friends on “Seas The Day”, with Captain Andy, First Mate and Chef Linzi (Captain Andy’s wife). Captain Andy and Linzi ensured we enjoyed this excursion, offering us the best that could possibly be offered. The yacht was well maintained and cared for. Captain Andy prepared a beautiful tour of the islands and First Mate Linzi prepared equally beautiful and delicious meals for us. We were treated to snorkeling stops along the way and shuttled to the different beaches where we enjoyed days at resorts and secluded beaches. Every afternoon we were treated to Chef Linzi’s “Nibbles” and a “Captains Cocktail”, prepared by Captain Andy to enjoy the BVI sunsets by. If you get the opportunity to enjoy an excursion like this, I would highly recommend The Moorings and if you’re really fortunate, you may be able to ask for and be treated to the best time with Captain Andy and First Mate Linzi.

It’s hard to beat The Moorings for planning a BVI sailing or power catamaran trip. Many choices of boats and a well established company with a great reputation.

Our departure was a bit delayed due to the sail cat not being ready on time but Lindsey compensated for the time lost.

When we were told this would be the vacation of a lifetime, I was excited but not prepared for what was to come. I cannot think of one thing that The Moorings or our constantly smiling and happy crew – Captain Kenrick, chef Vicki and Steward Maddie – could have done to make this trip any better or more memorable! The food, the guidance on where we were going and seeing, what to expect the next day, the 24/7 service, the immediate friendship and bond we felt with the crew were experiences to note. We literally feel like they are family now! If you’re on the fence about whether to take this adventure, go ahead and JUMP off the fence and BOOK NOW! We can’t wait to go again! Enjoy!

We had such a great time on our recent catamaran trip with the Moorings. Our captain, JP was fantastic and helped make our trip a lifetime memory. The moorings facility was outstanding and just overall such an amazing trip.

This was our 6th Moorings bareboat charter to BVI and was again impressed by the staff and vessel (534PC.) We arrived for our sleep aboard option the same evening as hurricane Ernesto did. Our boat was not available as all slips were taken by the recalled charters, so they put us up in the Mariner. We lost 1 day of cruising as the Moorings team put the marina back together. The second day our boat was ready, provisions were aboard, and we headed out for another amazing week in these beautiful islands. Thank you to the Tortola staff!!

Our second sail from Agana was better than the first if that’s possible. We revisited 3 harbors and 4 new ones recommended by our skipper; all picturesque harbor towns with great restaurants and shopping.

This was our second BVI charter with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi aboard the Moorings 50′ catamaran “Seas The Day.” I didn’t think it possible that our enjoyment of this week-long sail could surpass our previous trip, but Andy and Linzi somehow raised the bar. Andy leverages his vast knowledge of the BVI and his sailing prowess to provide a carefree trip thoughtfully customized to the preferences of his passengers. Whether you want to visit the liveliest bars, snorkel the best reefs, relax on the most peaceful beaches, or just float peacefully in a gorgeous bay, Andy’s meticulous planning and sailing will ensure you arrive at every destination ahead of the crowds with an available mooring ball waiting (often the best mooring ball). Complementing (maybe surpassing? 😉 Andy’s meticulous attention to detail is Linzi’s cooking. Her expertly prepared, delicious meals are as enjoyable to view as they are to eat. Of particular note, also, is Andy’s and Linzi’s keen ability to “read the room” to create a comfortable, happy vibe for all on board; not an easy feat when hosting groups with a wide array of personality types and interests like ours! Andy and Linzi have our ringing endorsement.

I can’t say enough good things about my catamaran trip! The BVIs are absolutely stunning, with so many incredible spots to visit—you really can’t go wrong.

However, it was the crew of Funky Miracle who made this vacation truly exceptional. Captain Robin and First Mate/Chef Sophie went above and beyond to make our trip unforgettable. They were warm, welcoming, and attentive to every detail, from helping us plan the perfect itinerary to ensuring our comfort throughout the journey.

Sophie’s cooking was both delicious and healthy, and she kept the boat—including our quarters—spotless. Robin was not only a patient and highly skilled captain, but he also had a hidden talent for crafting amazing blended drinks!

If (or rather, when) I take another trip, I would request Robin and Sophie without hesitation.

We had a perfect trip, the professionalism and hospitality provided by the crew was amazing. Robin and Sophie are top professionals in their craft. We felt respected, accommodated. It was a joy.

Our BVI catamaran cruise was simply amazing. Truly a “bucket list” trip that was everything we imagined and more. Captain Andy and Chef Wife Linzi were a fabulous team. Top notch on all accounts. What a beautiful area and such a great way to experience the islands up close. We loved it!!!

Sailing just naturally leads to plenty of adventures. It’s a great way to “make memories” and at the same time block out the rest of the world to focus on something really important–like catching the wind or finding the right mooring ball for the night.

Overall, we had an amazing time on our bareboat charter. The Moorings facilities and people were great to work with.
Unfortunately, the power cat we were given had many maintenance issues. Some of these issues we caught on the briefing, many we did not. Bottom line is the boat was on the older side, had a lot of broken parts, and was just plain worn out. After she came in from the previous charter, there was apparently only a cursory cleaning and check.

The Moorings once again did not disappoint. Their professional staff always go above and beyond and their fleet is top notch.

10000000/10 Recommend! Our family sailed for a week with Captain Giacomo. Not only did we have a wonderful time, but Giacomo was so gracious and patient as he taught us how to tack and work the lines to sail the boat! My husband and kids LOVED that experience! The scenery was amazing no matter where we went, but Giacomo was very knowledgeable as he recommended dining locations and the best spots for the activities we wanted to do. His knowledge of the islands allowed him to take us to the best spots for snorkeling, reefs, beach fun, turtles, shopping, groceries, etc. Whatever we wanted to do, Giacomo made it happen. Not only was he a great captain, we also enjoyed having him around as we ate, relaxed, or played games. Take this vacation. It’s a one of a kind experience that you will never regret. The Moorings took care of all the details and were a great company to work with. Thank you!

All expectations were exceeded! We had the good fortune of being aboard the Knotty Toddy with Captain Richard and Chef Shelly….the boat was awesome, only surpassed by the hospitality and attention to detail. The food was amazing as were our adventures! We have already recommended Moorings and the Knotty Toddy to many friends and would love to sail with our new friends Yum Yum and Birdy again!

Awesome destination, great service even though electrical issues on our vessel left us without AC outlet and air conditioning at times.

Sailing with Andy and Linzi was the absolute best way to explore the British Virgin Islands. Every detail of each day of our week-long trip was planned and executed beautifully by this team, allowing us to soak in each moment in the beautiful BVIs without a care in the world. Some of my favorite aspects of this experience: waking up to warm coffee to enjoy the sunrise, the delicious and nutritious meals made by Linzi, reading in all of the countless places to lounge in the sun on the boat, learning about sailing and navigation, snorkeling in some great spots, and taking the dinghy to the islands to explore. Andy and Linzy worked diligently to make sure that each activity and meal was all we could ever want. I could tell they set very high standards for themselves in the work that they do, and we got to benefit from that! Their years of experience also translated to our group feeling very safe and well taken care of. I have never been so relaxed in my life! We have been home a week and I miss the boat and this team terribly – very hopeful to be able to return one day.

We had a wonderful excursion. Thanks to our Captain, Paul G. we enjoyed both ocean and beach activities. He guided us to some great snorkeling as well as scenic hikes.
On the boat he was a skilled and confident Captain. This calm confidence put us at ease for a fantastic experience.

Cannot even begin to describe the level of relaxation we received with Captain Andy and Chef Linzi! Their aim was to make our 5 day sail feel like a 3 week vacation…mission accomplished! The level of service given by these two was nothing short of superb. Captain Andy’s love for and knowledge of sailing was infectious with his daily chart briefings and stories of the BVI area. Chef Linzi works miracles in that tiny galley by serving 5 star meals and daily “nibbles” that left us all in awe. Andy and Linzi are a special duo with so much attention to the tiniest of details. We cannot wait to come back and sail with them again!!

Overall we a great time. Had a couple issues with the boat that made things a challenge. Water maker didn’t work so we needed to find water instead of making it as instructed. Refrigerator went offline so we had to call tech support to help us reset the inverter. The headliner in the salon came down. We pointed out that it was loose before departure but they sent us on our way regardless. Hope to do the trip again as there is so much to explore and see in the BVI.
