Testimonials

Just completed a lovely charter with 5 girlfriends. This was the most well-maintained and nicely stocked charter vessel I have been on. The staff was all very responsive and helpful. Only suggestion would be to provide more orientation for those unfamiliar with Med mooring. .

An amazing experience, our captain Christos was really helpful and nice. Whatever we wanted he would do his absolute best to try and help us do it.
A perfect trip for all ages I would say as there is a perfect balance between relaxing and activities.
I would highly recommend doing quad biking around Poros island, a very fun day to explore.

We hired 2 boats for our teenage family and their two girlfriends. Both captains were brilliant, they were really helpful and wanted us to enjoy our experience. We had our own ideas of where we wanted to visit and the captains also offered plenty of suggestions of other places to visit.

What an amazing experience, enjoyed sailing around the islands with our excellent and very knowledgeable skipper Christoss who really made the trip special. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a hot holiday with a good balance between relaxing and exploring.

This year our annual two-week bareboat trip was Antigua and Barbuda. The Moorings was outstanding. The service was the best we have had in 6 years of bareboating.

If you are considering a bareboat vacation, this is one of the best bases to work with.

The location is convenient to stores for provisions and the sailing is outstanding.

The Sunsail team at English Harbour are a delight and work hard to keep the fleet spotless. We were so impressed with our yacht and will be back.

We’ve done several bareboat charters in various locations; this was our first one in Antigua & Barbuda. We’ve gone with both Sunsail and Moorings, as well as local companies. The staff at the Sunsail base is the friendliest and greatest we’ve worked with. Bob gave us a very thorough chart briefing, and both he and Brittany expressed concern about us leaving the first day due to high wind and seas. We checked the forecast together, then took our chances and beat our way in 12′ seas to Green Island, where we safely stayed on a (free!) mooring. Bob even wanted us to call him to let him know we arrived safely (which we did). We noticed the jib sheets were chafed, and Bob promptly re-rigged new sheets for us before we set off.

Pre-charter questions were answered promptly and professionally by Lovena. Sadique was friendly and efficient with the check-in process. And Dockmaster Clive was calm, cool, and collected docking the boat upon our return to crowded English Harbour.

The base itself is in a historical building in Nelson’s Dockyard; as such, it does not have full amenities like the Sunsail/Moorings base in the BVI. There are showers and laundry in a building a short walk away.

We also provisioned using their services, and everything went smoothly there as well. They had to make a couple of different trips to get everything that was on the list (not everything is always available on the island). For last-minute liquid provisioning, there is a well-stocked liquor store in Nelson’s Dockyard, and the empanadas from Dockyard Bakery are yummy!

We have chartered sailboats in several locations, often with Sunsail and the Moorings, the staff at this location were by far the best that we have experienced. This Christmas season, we decided to try Sunsail in Antigua. To be honest booking Antigua with Sunsail was not the easiest. I like to review the cruising guide and charts ahead of time, but despite my best efforts I could not get the correct information out of the administrative office in Florida. Everytime I asked for a cruising guide/charts I was referred to the sample itinerary on their website. At one point I was sent an email link for the cruising guide for the BVI. So, it got off to a rocky start.
Once we got to Antigua, things were very different. The location and staff could not be better. You are not likely to meet a more helpful group of people than the Sunsail staff at Antigua. Nothing was too much trouble, no question would remain unanswered, Although everyone was wonderful to work with, Brittany, Bob and Clive stood out as exceptional, and we are indebted to them, and it was their efforts that earned this review five stars.
There are two things that Sunsail/Moorings could do that would improve the experience. One, bring back the welcome packet that you used to send out years ago with luggage tags, cruising guide etc. Secondly, and I am echoing what another reviewer mentioned and that is having a longer season at Antigua. We would love to visit this destination in the summer and fall, the current cruising schedule offered for Antigua is way too short.

The staff at the base here is hands down the best. All of the employees go out of their way for you.They tried to help in all aspects of our trip. wish they were open all year around that way I could bring the kids on their summer brake form school..We will be back!

Had a fantastic holiday with these people. A few minor issues with the boat but all sorted out in a very friendly and efficient manner. Anyone who knows anything about sailing knows that boats need constant maintenance so it’s really not an issue. We will be back!

We have chartered with sunsail and the moorings in other locations, and the staff at the base here is hands down the best. The facility is not huge, but all of the employees go out of their way for you. One of them even drove my mom and kids to a nearby beach in a dinghy while my husband and I were on our scuba tour. They had great recommendations, and tried to help in all aspects of our trip. I also love the English Harbor location!
