Absolutely loved our time chartering in Belize and felt well taken care of by the Sunsail/Moorings team (thank you Kevin and Mateo!). Had a great boat, great weather, and loved all the different island stops. Such a treat, we will be back!

Our family of 7 loves adventure, good food, as well as relaxation, and this trip did not disappoint! We were well taken care of with 5-star service through the entire week. Our Captain George and Chef Silvi were top notch, professional, and showed us all that the BVI’s have to offer. The catamaran (Funky Miracle) was well appointed and allowed us to have a great time paddle boarding, kayaking, snorkeling, knee boarding, and lounging in the large inflatable. The meals were world class and provided a variety we all loved. Absolutely one of the best vacations we’ve ever had! We would love to sail with them again!

Captain Steph and First Mate Julia did a phenomenal job for our group from start to finish! They navigated the perfect itinerary, secured great mooring locations and the cuisine and drinks were excellent! We would 10/10 recommend sailing the BVI’s with this crew!

We spent an amazing week of sailing with Captain Laura! The BVI continues to be one of Earth’s beautiful locations and we were so pleased to share it with our kids and spouses who had not been. The boat was in great shape, and we had no issues during our 7-day charter. It was especially fun because the wind was blowing pretty hard for May and we loved our long sailing days! Captain Laura was very flexible with our destinations, allowed us to help out as mates, and took incredible care of all six of us. She is conscientious, friendly, engaging, and exudes confidence as a captain. We would definitely sail again with Laura!

Our family of eight had the best possible experience with Andy and Linzi during their last voyage on Sea’s the Day in BVI. They have now moved to a new boat, McLovin life, which should be equally fantastic. Andy’s itinerary for the week covered all of the major islands in BVI, including a full day on Anegada. He handled the boat with phenomenal expertise and paired stories to each day‘s adventure. Every single meal that Linzi prepared was exquisite, including her famous pre-dinner nibbles with boat drinks. The cabins were very clean with daily cabin service and provided comfortable lodging for all eight adults. My whole family agreed that this was the best vacation we have taken to date.

We had sailing with Moorings in BVi and Nassau but this is by far the best managed base we had chartered from. Renee (base manager) runs a well-organized base. Diego did a very thorough chart briefing and Kevin did an excellent ship walk thru. Boats were very clean and fresh, nothing missing, nothing broken (nothing essential, anyway), very clean and nice boats. Highly recommend Moorings in Placencia.

We had a wonderful experience with Dino and Anna. They were absolutely wonderful and made the trip. The planning of the trip by Dino (our skipper) and the meal prep by Anna was amazing! The scenery was amazing!!!

This was our 2nd time sailing with the Moorings. We had sailed in Tahiti a few years back. We decided to go sail Belize and we are so glad we did. We chartered a 50ft catamaran and hired a local captain which is a must in my opinion. The boat was beautiful and plenty of room for the 10 of us. Each couple had their own cabin and bathroom which includes a shower. Separate air condition thermostats in the room was a great feature. Full kitchen with all the accessories. Comfortable seating inside as well as out back and up top on the flybridge.
The Moorings helped us with transportation to their location and to the local market where we purchased our provisions for our journey. Make sure you go with more provisions than you think. Especially beverages including water! Tough to get provisions once you’re out on the water! We opted to do most of our own cooking but did venture to a few hidden places out on the water! We met the captain, loaded our gear and had a short briefing before taking off from the marina. Belize has some of the prettiest water you’ll ever see. Our captain was amazing! Captain Dwayne knew all the best places to see, places to go snorkeling and best places to catch a happy hour or meal. Capt. Dwayne is a true Waterman! You can tell he loves being on the water and sailing the catamaran. His knowledge of Belize and all its waters and reefs was truly impressive. Very accommodating to what we were interested in. I truly believe being out on the water for a week beats staying at a resort and doing excursions to some of the reef locations we visited. We just anchored or moored and woke up to amazing sunrises and ready to jump right into the water. Rays, sharks and plenty of sea life. Even a turtle! LOL. Beautiful coral formations too! It was really difficult to sail back to port but the lasting memories of our journey with our crew and Capt. D will always remain! In my opinion, the relative cost for a trip and experience like this is priceless but the Moorings offers a cost effective and affordable option for most travelers. You can do it cost conscious or go full board with a Capt. and Chef and have everything handled for you! Everyone should experience this type of vacation at least once! The Moorings can handle that for you and they have other locations that you sail from!

We just finished a week long visit to BVI visiting Tortola, Cooper, Scrub, Bitter End, Leverick, Anegada, Jost Van Dyke, and Norman. Our Captain Sebastien Varite was fantastic. His level of hospitality, knowledge of the area, professionalism (and Crepes!) were of top caliber. I highly recommend requesting him to help your trip be its best!! The boat was new and well satisfied our needs. A wonderful family adventure and forever memories!

We sailed with the Moorings 50 foot catamaran in Croatia recently with 6 friends and had a wonderful experience! Johnny Ante was our Captain and did an incredible job. He got us to each island we were scheduled for and was flexible when we had to make a few changes, he recommended things to do at each port, had many friends at each one which resulted in us obtaining good mooring spots and reservations to great restaurants that he helped reserve for us. He was super personable and great to be with. The boat was beautiful, clean, and well stocked with everything you need from cooking pots to wine glasses. The Moorings had good customer service and offered clothes washing services at their facility which we were grateful for. I highly recommend the Moorings and ask for Johnny…you won’t be disappointed!!

An incredible week sailing the Islands of Split with the amazing Captain Deni and crew Alexandra who are with The Moorings. Highly recommend them for their concern for safety, enjoyment and desire to ensure we had a great time. They know the islands, “secrete spots” and amazing history.

Boat was spacious clean and comfortable
The crew, Dennie the Captain and Alex the first mate and chef were outstanding and so attentive to all of our many preferences and needs
They worked morning until midnight

Just returned from a fabulous vacation to Croatia. I have traveled extensively throughout the world, ( to at least 8 different Moorings bases) and this truly is the best place to visit. Beautiful country, extensive history, great food and wine and wonderful friendly people.
We spent a week on a 50ft Moorings Catamaran and a week touring by a land-based bus. (there was a total of 33 of us) I won’t list all the sites we visited but all were exceptional – I could have stayed longer at any of them.
A special shout out to some of the Moorings Crew – Mirna Jaksic – at the base – great help – sent me numerous emails with super tips about where to go – arranged meals for our large group, as well as a tour of Vis. Johnny Roncevic – Charter Captain extraordinaire – lots of energy – knowledgeable – you should request him as well as Dino Bajic – great captain – native of Vis – both were exceptional. Will make your charter smooth and trouble-free.
In summary – Croatia is a special place – you must see it – and of course the best place to start is on a Moorings Charter. And one last shout out to Lisa Mayo at the Moorings office in Clearwater – she has worked with our group for many years – making difficult trips easy – lots of great advice and ALWAYS there for us (including helping us escape the BVI during the COVID lockdown!)

the Crew-Kay & Sebo were wonderful! The personalized meals and locations were perfect! LIVED IT ALL

First time to ANTIGUA. What a lovely Island. Full of history and the people are wonderful. Super friendly and since we were after the peak season it wasn’t very crowded. We stayed for about 1 week aboard a 42 catamaran. Since most anchorages are sand you simply drop anchor, so no paying for mooring balls. We ate a few places and the staff at Carlise Bay were thee best. Delicious food and beautiful property. Mooring has all the options you need to have a great sail. You should be a bit more experienced as they claim, it’s a level 3 area. Some big seas on the windward side, east and southeast. Most places do not have a dingy dock so tides and wind might play havoc with your dingy. Felt super safe, and the wildlife, turtles, birds, fish for snorkeling all around the Island was lovely. Great place to tour coastlines off the dingy.

We stayed on the Moorings catamaran for a week and toured the Croatian Islands of Brac, Vis and Hvar. Josip, our skipper, was a delight. He found us great spots to visit and had everything all lined up according to our interests. Highly recommend!

An experience of a lifetime. Everything about the trip was fantastic. Romano the boats captain was the best. He provided guidance to us and always ensured we were safe and enjoying ourselves. He was always on time when picking us up and continued to check on the group when we were on land. Silvia the boats chef provided fresh dishes for every meal that were amazing. We would recommend this team to anyone looking for the best possible experience available.

Where do I begin…first, the Moorings hotel is not a nice hotel and in fact it is nasty. The entire process is a racket as they hook you into either a stay at the hotel or an early boarding overnight on the boat of which neither is a good option. They then pack you food, etc. from their overpriced store and send you on your way. As far as the boats themselves, we had a bare boast 40 foot power cat which was newer and had bow thrusters thank god but the beds were like sleeping on a park bench so very uncomfortable. We could not wait to get off the boat and sleep in a real bed! Overall the experience was fine but the boat was somewhat dirty upon boarding but the A/C worked well. The BVI area we were in was fabulous but with the wind it was always a bit rough when transiting from one moorage to the next. Bitter End yacht club and Peter Island were very nice moorage stop but avoid Scrub Island. Boaty Ball reservations were challenging but Soggy Dollar stop was worth the trip. Overall a decent experience but we would not do it again.

Had a fantastic couples trip for a week in May. Dino and Ana were first class all of the way. From planning our days to feeding us like royalty it could not have been better!

We charted for 10 days April 29th – May 9th, 2026. We chartered a 0-1 year new 46ft power Catamaran with a Captain. Our boat was Ragin Cajuns, our Captain was Shem. There were 3 couples plus a captain, so 7 people total. We were the Ragin Cajuns 3rd charter. Our trip was perfect, no problems at all. Captain Shem was a very capable and confident, yet easy going Captain. This is our third time chartering with the moorings. Although we are simewhat familiar with sailing, we chose a power Catamaran this time around and we couldn’t have asked for a better Captain. Shem was born and raised in Tortola and has been a Captain for 7 years. He knew everybody and had connections everywhere. Shem took us on a 10 day trip of a lifetime. The Moorings itself is well located with easy dock, room, and restaurant access and within walking distance to all the main shopping areas for food and beverage for your charter. Our booking agent was Michela, and she was fabulous. She answered all our questions & gave us a lot of suggestions.
Her replies via email to us over the 10 months until leaving was informative & extremely quick, always!. Staff at the moorings facility were friendly and welcoming. Our room was fine for being a hotel on a dock. We did a sleep aboard the first night to familiarize ourselves with the Catamaran. Captain Shem boarded the following day, introduced himself and eased all of our anxiety. He told us we were about to experience the best 10 days of our life and he was correct. Every aspect of our trip went off without a hitch. Shem pretty much anchored everywhere we went, saving mooring balls for other charters not as experienced or comfortable with anchoring. He took us to the best beaches, the best restaurants, the best known snorkeling spots, and the best secret snorkeling spots only a local would know. He maneuvered around cruise ship traffic. Everywhere we went to was not crowded this time of year. He has connections everywhere. He made our dinner reservations and dingied us wherever we wanted to go. We cooked our own lunches & dinners & also ate ashore. Shem was just awesome and made our trip absolutely unforgettable. We were last in the BVI 20yrs ago, pre Irma. It’s all completely different. Everyone has rebuilt so it was a familiar, yet, brand new experience. If you’re booking a vacation I would recommend getting
a newer boat and at least a captain.
We would all book with The Moorings again. The only thing Shem could improve on is his Domino game!
