Our 7 - night Crewed Sailing out of the BVI was excellent. Some of the things were out of our control and us just being lucky. The 45 ft. catamaran, Knotty Toddy, crewed by Capt. Richard and Chef She…Full review by Schoolboyheart

This was our first experience chartering a catamaran in the BVI. Our trip exceeded any expectations we had. Jos (Captain) and his wife Chivon (Chef & much more) were amazing. The food was better than…Full review by Steve P

Q:
Morning everyone, we have chartered a four-cabin cat for my friend's birthday in July. Super excited as it's our first visit to the Caribbean! She would like to visit The Baths on her birthday, but I hear it can be hard to get BACK into the dinghy without a ladder? Is that true? Do you know if the Moorings offer dinghy ladders?
A:
Hi Sara, so glad to hear you're looking forward to your holiday in July! It's really a personal choice as to whether or not your crew will need a ladder to get back into the dinghy. You will …

Hi Sara, so glad to hear you're looking forward to your holiday in July! It's really a personal choice as to whether or not your crew will need a ladder to get back into the dinghy. You will need to climb back into the dinghy at the dinghy line and you won't be able to touch the bottom with your feet. If you feel your crew would prefer to have a ladder, they're available via the Sail Caribbean divers shop located in our reception area, it's open from 8:00 am. Hope that this is helpful.

Q:
Hi everyone - we are excited about our upcoming charter with Moorings with our family of 5. Can anyone recommend the best charter from St. Thomas (Red Hook) to the Moorings Port(Road Town Tortola)? Does a private charter go directly to the Moorings Port? We are building quotes with a few private charters as the public ferry is booked and I read not so great stories of the crowds. Thank you for your help!

We used private charter for transport from Red Hook to the Moorings. Well worth it. They take care of all the customs paperwork, stop at immigration, then get you to the Moorings launch. Chillout Charters is who we used. They were fantastic. Roundtrip is about $700/per couple, but no lines and direct route. This was mid-May of 2024.

Q:
We are looking at booking a 1 week charter on Moorings in the BVI with a Skipper and a Cook. Total price is over $35,000 and they are suggesting gratuities of 15 to 20%. Are people really tipping a two person crew $7,000 for a week?
A:
We did tip 20% because it was incredibly worth it. They do everything. And I literally mean EVERYTHING. The service is fantastic and worth every single penny. I would never do …

We did tip 20% because it was incredibly worth it. They do everything. And I literally mean EVERYTHING. The service is fantastic and worth every single penny. I would never do this sort of vacation, no matter what my sailing experience level is, without it being crewed. They work with you on food preferences, alcohol choices, plan, purchase and prep all meals, clean up too. They captain the boat, help you decide where to do and the best places to see, and provide incredibly valuable expertise that is worth it's weight in gold. Our Guides were Rosie Kirk and Adam Hughes in the BVI. They are one million percent worth it. Enjoy! it is truly a bucket list experience!!!

hi friends! sailing from tortola this may and i was wondering if the boats come with dive gear? also what was your experience with the ferries? were flying into st thomas from miami and im trying to be prepared. ty!!
A:
Ferries will make multiple stops so it can take a bit of time to reach the Moorings. We used a private charter. Snorkel fins are provided, but no masks or "dive equipment."
