We did a week long cruise with one other couple and our captain Rico. With this being everyone’s first time doing a moorings charter, we figured it would be best to trust someone to show us the way. We were so fortunate to have Rico as our captain. He took the time to understand the group dynamics and lean what each person was trying to get out of the trip. His calm demeanor, local knowledge and experience allowed us to have a fantastic trip. From knowing the best spots to eat and snorkel, to last minute changes to match the vibe of the group. He even made sure we did proper provisioning to minimize waste at the end of the trip. I can honestly say, this trip will be remembered by all of us for a long time and a substantial reason for that how attentive Rico was to our goals. If you get a chance to charter with Rico, I highly suggest it.

We were on a 50 FOOT catamaran named SEAS THE DAY

Captain ANDY & Chef LINZI
Provided us an amazing week traveling throughout all the best places to go in BVI.

PROFESSIONALISM -QUALITY OF FOOD AND BEVERAGES WAS THE BEST. Dockages and reservations to all the great spots was all perfect. Boat was immaculate at all times. NOT ONE GLITCH in a full week of moving about. Not only are they ultra professional they a fun and interesting storytellers. We had a great trip and will return by crewed charter only if we can be with Andy & Linzi.

This was our second bareback trip with The Moorings, and it was every bit as easy, accommodating, and smooth as the first one. We had some boat troubles this time that allowed us to experience The Moorings support team. They were timely, responsive, and didn’t impact our itinerary in anyway. Check in and check out were fast and efficient, provisioning was spot on, and the boat was amazing as advertised. We love The Moorings and will be back again soon!

This was the fourth Moorings trip for my husband and I. We continue to choose Mooring because of their experience and personal care to make sure of a good trip. Our scheduled captain had an unexpected illness, so thus, we were upgraded to a bigger boat and assigned new captain and cook, Romano and Silvia. Romano was very familiar with the entire sailing area and assisted with the scheduling of our desired island spots (loved his personalized video of our locations when we were finished).. He even prearranged reservations, such as a lobster dinner and Moke (car) experience on Anegada (or favorite island). He knew to get us to the Baths before the cruise ships. And, took us to his favorite spot (not telling…it was a gem) the last day. Silvia is an excellent cook and such a sweet person. We missed her when we returned home and had do our own three meals and also missed our specialized happy hour drinks. Prior to trip we had noted that our daughter was celebrating her 30th birthday. We were delighted that they had purchased balloons and decorations and allowed us to write birthday messages on the window. Lastly, we loved their Croatian spirit and loved listening about their homeland.
Would we pick Moorings again? Absolutely.

Moorings is always my first choice for a bareboat sailing charter. I have used many charter companies around the world, but the quality of service, support, and yachts puts Moorings at the top of the list. The staff at the base are always friendly and accommodating. Tech Support, whether by radio, phone, or in person always fixes whatever issue comes up. In the extreme, if there is a technical problem with a charter yacht that cannot be fixed promptly, Moorings has simply brought us another boat to complete our charter. No other company does that.

The Moorings has an excellent base in Tortola. The staff is courteous and helpful, the pool and bar was a great place to hangout while waiting for our catamaran to be ready, and the inspection and launching process went off without a hitch. The provisioning store and market are very well stocked and the restaurant was very good.

Great welcome on arrival and the talk through by Jerome (boat) and Sadiq (Nav) were very informative. Jerome quickly sorted out the issues we found with the 50’ Cat we were chartering, ably supported by Brittany in the office. Ours was a one way charter up to St Martin over 10 days. The only issue that couldn’t be resolved was that our booking stipulated Wi-Fi on board, as one of our party had to do some work, but this was not provided nor could a way be found to provide it which was disappointing (not the fault of the shore crew). The trip went smoothly without issue to St Martin where Pascal saw us smoothly through the final handover. All in all a great trip

We had a fantastic time on our week long Moorings charter with Romano and Silvia. They last minute picked up our reservation because our original captain had a sickness/ surgery come up. We’re grateful they didn’t cancel it, even if it was a quicker turnaround for them between each scheduled charters! They worked with us to curate our itinerary, menus (with someone who is paleo), and so much more. It seemed like there may have been a mix up with our preference sheets and what Moorings provided for them, but they stopped and picked up some of things we requested and didn’t originally get. Romano and Silvia recommended some great excursions off of the boat as well.

A trip of a lifetime! I had the pleasure of traveling alongside Captain Romano and chef Silvia on a 7 day trip through the BVIs. Captain made sure to plan an itinerary filled with both relaxation and adventure while showing us some amazing spots. Silvia’s food was exceptional each day. They made a great duo and went out of their way to also make me feel special on my birthday! We loved our daily happy hours and sunsets.

Great trip and the Moorings did everything they could to make the trip a huge success. When the dingy motor acted up, they were there within an hour with a new motor. They were very friendly and easy going and it made the trip that much better.

My family and I did this trip for Thanksgiving two years ago and had to come back this year for the same time! We booked with Seas the Day with Andy and Linzi, two years ago and did it again with them this year. They are an amazing crew doing everything they can to make the trip perfect. We will be back again and totally recommend this trip and this crew!!!!

Our trip was a most amazing experience. Garth and Christine were fantastic in every way. Our meals were excellent, the sailing (our first experience) was wonderful, the island visits and Garth and Christine’s information about them was so enjoyable. The boat was beautiful, the views were to die for, the excursions to the various islands via the dinghy were so much fun. We loved everything about this first visit to BVI–and our first sailing trip.

Amazing journey with captain Libert. On a 45 cat and had a great time.

Libert charted a perfect journey, was a gentleman, and was able to give us a once of a lifetime vacation. If booking a trip in the future, I would certainly choose Libert.

Our power cat excursion to 7 islands in 8 days was fantastic. Loved the vibe, the food and the people. My only negative is The Moorings itself, the bathrooms and showers need a great deal of attention and thorough cleanings regularly… YUK! is an understatement for the bathrooms!

We just completed a 7 day charter in the BVI’s on a 45’ catamaran. There were 4 of us but the boat could have easily accommodated 6. It was an amazing trip! Our skipper, Chester, was the best! He was so knowledgeable about all the great places to go on the islands. He really made this one of the best vacations we’ve ever had! We wouldn’t hesitate to do this trip again and we would definitely request Chester as our skipper!

You can count on Moorings to provide the best in customer service, yachts, and preparation. We have bareboaterd in many sailing destinations including Greece (3 trips), Sicily, Croatia, Tahiti, Tonga, Cuba, and the Virgin Islands, (US, Spanish, BVI), Hawaii. The Moorings offers the best service, nicest boats, and will provide unparalleled customer service if you have a problem.

We chartered a 46′ monohull for 10 days. It was the early part of the season and the boat had a few little issues, but the Moorings team addressed everything we highlighted and made sure we were in good shape before we set off. We came back to base partway through the trip and were welcomed back and set up with power and water. Brittney and her team are all fantastic; very polite, helpful and full of great advice about places to visit.
We would definitely charter from The Moorings again!

Romano and Silvia handled all details of our sail with flawless execution! They discussed our itinerary choices with us daily from food to destinations.
Romano reviewed the destinations, what was available on the various islands, set up land transportation to customize our experience. Everyday was a perfect adventure!
Silvia’s culinary choices were fabulous from breakfast to dinner! She customized our menu so that every guest was presented with a delicious and perfectly prepared meal.
Safety was of utmost importance. Romano and Silvia presented all the safety aspects to our group that were easily understood and we could follow.
We all had a fabulous time and would recommend Romano and Silvia to others!!

What an amazing trip! Checked all the boxes of sharing time with friends and adventure! Captain Romano and First Mate Silvia were attentive to every detail to make our trip enjoyable. Food was amazing as Silvia accommodated special needs. Romano listened to what we wanted to do and planned each day accordingly and set up excursions as requested. Floating, swimming, snorkeling ( with guest appearances of sea turtles and rays), the Baths and numerous beach bars. The boat, Maggie Sea II was pristine! They had noodles, fins, paddleboards, and kayaks. Highly recommend renting a Lilly Pad.

Couldn’t ask for anything more!

The four couples traveling together had high expectations for this adventure; Romano & Silvia delivered in all categories. The meals were healthy and delicious. Silvia excelled at recognizing the different food preferences of the group and making it all work. Romano offered suggestions & recommendations for the daily itinerary then made advance arrangements & reservations as needed. They were both exceedingly professional, courteous and detail oriented. I highly recommend them and hope to sail with them again someday.
