Customer Reviews

Our Captian- he was great! Very thoughtful took us to great locations, very knowledgeable and was overall just fantastic!

Your catamarans are well built for bareboat charter, good support, and consistent experience

Great customer service!

Captain George and first mate Vicki provided extraordinary, anticipatory service. I am a very healthy heart transplant patient, (surgery Christmas Day 2024). I was about to run out of a rare, critical transplant medicine. George leveraged his deep relationships throughout Greece, I had my transplant medicine within two hours.

The staff was incredible and quick. The boat was in great shape and we had an incredible seamless vacation

We’ve been sailing with the moorings since 2002… always enjoyed it !!

The crew was absolutely amazing. Andel and Jojo went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of the entire time.

Well organized trip , boat was fairly new and well equipped and we enjoyed pool , restaurants and showers at Moorings base .

Wonderful accommodations with fantastic hosts. Great food, great itinerary. We felt very special and taken care of.

The boat was clean, and all systems worked. The customer service was above average.

The skipper, Quentin, and the chef, Nadia, were outstanding. They made the experience exciting, educational, comfortable, and fun. Without Quentin and Nadia the experience would have been good, but not the over-the-top outstanding adventure that it was.

You made everything easy!

My favorite type of trip.

Everything was exactly as described and pictured. The boat was clean and in great shape. We had everything on board that we needed. The chart briefing and walk through were very informative and I had all the information I needed for a great trip. Any questions I had were quickly answered.

You all do a great job. This trip is a fantastic family vacation.

Boats were great. The staff was super friendly and incredibly helpful

This was our first time chartering a catamaran for an extended amount of time. Every step of the way was first class and our time on the water was so far beyond our expectations. Our captain Rico Vivier was the absolute perfect match for us! He made our trip extra special showing us locations we only dreamed of! So many incredible beaches and snorkeling locations. It was truly a great experience and can’t wait to come back!

Repeat, happy customer. Athens team was very good.

The power boat was in very good condition and the customer service was great.

Friendly consistent service, communication, and quality of vessels in two locations I have been able to visit.

Everything exceeded our expectations! Captain Andy and Chef Linzi made everything a trip of a lifetime! Captain Andy included us in making the itinerary that were exactly what we were looking for! Chef Linzi was an absolutely accomplished chef that kept us looking forward to every meal! They are quite a team and we were lucky to have them show us around the beautiful British Virgin Islands!!

Eight of us guests on the boat, ranging from experienced to first time (and fearful) cruisers). We all had a fabulous time and wouldn’t hesitate to go again. The snorkeling was unbelievable. The views were incredible. Captain Andy is knowledgeable, attentive, and flexible in order to meet the needs and wants of his guests. Chef Linzi’s cooking was outstanding, delicious, and healthy. Captain Andy mans the grill. We all agreed that we would rather eat on board than go anywhere else to eat. They gave us an experience we will never forget. Much thanks to Captain Andy and Chef Linzi.

What a fantastic vacation. So relaxing sailing from island to island. Captain Andy took us to Amazing snorkeling spots and Chef Linz’s meals and evening Nibbles along with the Captains cocktail were amazing g

Great trip to share with friends and family. Captain Andy is very personable and made sure to make it the trip we wanted. He kept us up to date and always included us in the itinerary decision making!
Linzi is not only a kind person but also a phenomenal chef! We ate VERY well and she made it another highlight of our trip.
They spoiled us in every way in a beautiful, relaxing location and we very much appreciated it all!!

We had a fantastic 10 sojourn through the BVI. The boat was wonderful and the crew even more so. Captain Cosy was very capable and friendly. Jan, our chef, prepared us some amazing meals in an incredibly small space. Loved every minute.

Moorings – A World Class Operation run by people who are skilled & knowledgeable and understand 1st class service!

Captain Andy & Chef Linzi were an incredible duo who provided my family and me with truly superb service. They are both so personable and delivered a genuine 5-star experience from start to finish.

Captain Andy crafted the perfect itinerary for our group and was extremely accommodating throughout the entire trip. Chef Linzi not only prepared the most amazing meals—so good that many days we didn’t even want to leave the boat—but also kept everything impeccably clean and organized. Managing a group of 10 on a boat that size is no small feat, and she handled it effortlessly.

Together, they created such a relaxing, fun, and seamless experience for our family. Having done a similar trip in the past without a captain and chef, I can confidently say I would never go back to doing it any other way.

As Captain Andy said on day one, he hoped the week would feel like 2–3 weeks—and somehow, it really did. Every aspect of this charter was a 10/10: Andy’s sailing expertise and knowledge, Linzi’s incredible food (especially her cocktail hour nibbles—an 11/10!), the cleanliness of the boat, and the overall atmosphere and vibe.

We have a strong feeling our group will absolutely be back to sail again with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi.

The boat was prepped and ready. All of our pre requested food items were already on board. The boat was comfortable for the 8 of us. No problems with the boat. The staff at The Moorings who helped us with the boat were great.
The front seat staff at check in were not so helpful. Young women at counter acted like she didn’ watt to be boteredered with customers. Otherwise all was good

Captain Andy and Chef Linzi were absolutely incredible—they made every day in the BVIs feel truly special.

Linzi’s cooking was a standout from start to finish—everything from perfectly done surf and turf to casual favorites like pulled pork sandwiches was unbelievable. Every meal felt thoughtful and elevated, and we were always excited to see what she’d create next. She never missed.

Andy’s expertise is on another level. From knowing the best spots and getting ahead of the crowds by securing top moorings early in the morning, to understanding the waters and safety in ways others simply don’t—it made the entire trip feel seamless and stress-free. You could tell we were always in the best hands while still having an amazing, fun sailing experience.

I’d 100% recommend them and would absolutely come back just because of this amazing duo. Easily one of the best vacations we’ve ever had.

Cannot say enough good things about Captain Andy and Chef Linzi. What a husband-wife team that make the trip unforgettable. Both are easy to get along with and very professional. They made us feel at ease and safe throughout the entire journey. Their intimate knowledge of the area and their recommendations for ‘go-to destinations’ were always spot-on. Loved the way Andy shared nautical tidbits throughout the trip and Linzi’s food was amazing.

We traveled with my cousin and his family and it is common for each of us to call one another ‘cousin’. Mid-way through the trip, we were addressing Andy and Linzi as ‘Cousin Andy’ and ‘Cousin Linzi’ as our comfort level was so high with them both. Hopeful they will take us up on our offer to come visit us in Cape May, NJ.

We’ve bareboat chartered in the BVI many time over many years, starting in the late 1990’s. This time I decided to let someone else be responsible and do all the work, so we chartered a 58′ cat with a captain and a chef. IT WAS HANDS DOWN THE BEST EXPERIENCE OF OUR LIVES! Our captain, Cosy, was exceptionally nice, helpful, attentive and made our requested itinerary work out great. Jan, our chef, made every meal a gourmet experience, tailored to our preferences and beautifully presented. We were blessed with perfect weather and the 10 day blew by. We can’t wait to do this again. GO! You won’t regret it one bit.

5 nights cruising with skipper out of Road Town. 4 stateroom 45 foot cat. Novice sailor, and Moorings was excellent at preparing me for the trip. Arranged for snorkel gear that had to be rented. Provisioning the boat for breakfast and lunch was very convenient with Rite Way store in the area, and the Moorings Market and the French Deli on site. The freezer and refrigerator space on the boat was surprisingly ample for all of our needs. We ate breakfast and lunch on the boat, with dinners at restaurants near our mooring site. Food on the islands was quite good but expensive. Our skipper was very qualified and provided some guidance to our excursion but was certainly not a tour guide. Family loved it and hopefully will remember it for a long time.

Captain Andy & Chef Linzi made our experience on “Seas The Day” the most memorable and exceptional vacation of our lives. We didn’t have to figure out how to do anything but relax and have fun. Chef Linzi turned our birthday celebration for my husband with banners, homemade cake, and balloons on the boat. When we turned up at the restaurant she had decorated our reserved table, too. Thier cohesive work ethic was above anything I’ve ever experienced, as well. I enjoyed this trip so much and can’t rate it high enough. 10++++++++

Our group of 6 (2 grandparents, 2 parents, 2 kids) had an amazing time on our bareboat catamaran charter with a hired skipper. We have been to the BVI before and some of us have chartered with The Moorings so we knew what to expect in general. Life on a boat like this is not luxurious but our catamaran was generally well-outfitted and functioned properly.

Our captain, Mathieu Martinez, was unquestionably the difference between having a good vacation and having a magical, special experience. Mathieu is simply exceptional in every way. He listened to our goals for the trip (lots of sailing, snorkeling and swimming; going off the beaten path to less-busy locations) and he delivered exactly what we wanted. He is a confident, competent, organized skipper and we felt safe and secure under his guidance. He was also immediately responsive any time we asked a question or contacted him from shore. In addition to doing his job as a skipper so well, Mathieu’s personality and approach to life are refreshing and delightful. He has an incredible sense of humor and delights in learning about others so we had such fun talking with him, sharing stories, and getting to know each other. Mathieu’s care for us made it feel like he was an extension of our family, and he treated my children like they were his little siblings or cousins. Easter fell during our trip and Mathieu swam to shore with filled Easter eggs in a dry bag to hide them on the beach before the kids were awake. His thoughtfulness and willingness to go the extra mile to make a memorable experience for us rendered me speechless. Mathieu is simply the best and anyone who has him as a skipper should consider themselves lucky!

Andy & Linzi were fabulous!

Professional, friendly and exactly the right mix of helpfulness and attentiveness. Food was exceptional and credit goes to Linzi, but Andy’s egg were pretty great too. Now to lose the 3kg that they so helpfully added to my wasteline.

I would go and again and with them.

We needed some help on our boat and we saw Captain Matty on a boat near by! He didn’t hesitate — came on board fixed our problems and helped us out! If you need a captain HE IS YOUR GUY! 5 stars! He knows what he is doing !

We spent spring break with Romano and Sylvia with three young kids and they showed us an unforgettable time! Sailing, snorkeling, turtles, and more. The food was fantastic and they really made us all feel right at home. The boat was extremely well taken care of and tidy all trip long! 10/10 would go back!

We recently spent an incredible week on Seas The Day with Captain Andy & Chef Linzi.

The trip was nothing short of amazing.

If an email arrives in your inbox advising that you have been assigned to Captain Andy & Chef Linzi then it is truly your lucky day. First and foremost, they provide a safe experience. In addition, this dynamic due take care of EVERYTHING with great attention to detail. From pulling down paddles boards, quick trips ashore to suggested snorkeling locations. They do it all. They listened to our preferences and incorporated them into the trip, making it even more special. They also arranged amazing offshore excursions for us. Importantly, their deep knowledge of the area allowed us to avoid crowds which we greatly appreciated. They know areas that many boats do not.

In addition, the food and drinks aboard are top notch and plentiful. Great meals three times a day with evening “nibbles” and a specialized cocktail. Chef Linzi prepared fresh meals that we all agreed were delicious. She further showed a deep culinary reservoir by preparing a broad spectrum of meals including tuna, steak, shrimp, pasta, veggies and salads and desserts. They also have a full bar on board with beer, wines and soft drinks. No went hungry or thirsty.

Last, but certainly not least, the boat is amazing. We were a family of four plus a guest and felt that we had plenty of space. My family had never been on a boat for a full week before and I had some concerns that they would feel like they were on top of each other. We had no problems at all. The layout of the boat provided lots of space for my family to roam around. Each cabin had its own bathroom and even air-conditioning. The seating space on the bow, stern and upper deck are luxurious. It is a great boat.

We have gone on many family trips but it was universally agreed that this was one of the best trips ever. We are already planning our return. Many thanks to Captain Andy and Chef Linzi for making it an amazing vacation!

It’s not easy to find a vacation that exceeds the expectations of 6 family members with varying ages, passions, and meal choices, but our recent BVI charter on the “Funky Miracle” did just that thanks to Captain George Telos and Chef Cheryl. From the moment we stepped aboard, their professionalism and competence were evident in every aspect of our trip. Captain George skillfully navigated the islands, ensuring smooth and safe journeys while tailoring the itinerary perfectly based on our choices (even when they changed mid-day). Chef Cheryl consistently delighted our family with gourmet, Caribbean-inspired meals crafted to our preferences, especially her bountiful breakfasts each morning!

Captain George is a well-traveled, experienced sailor, and we delighted in his willingness to open the sails whenever possible, making our days on the beautiful water unforgettable. With some prompting, he shared interesting stories of his past charters in Greece, Thailand, and beyond- offering a worldliness we admired! He will enhance any charter due to his professionalism and affable personality.

Chef Cheryl must be a master at provisioning because we were never hungry and the quality of her meals remained high through our entire week together.

We thank them and the Moorings for exceeding 6 people’s high expectations and giving us a trip of a lifetime!

The BVIs are beautiful and the sailing is awesome!!! I highly recommend paying the extra money to get a newer boat. We got an older boat and it had (many) issues! The rigging was all good, but the little things added up; the lines weren’t set up, grill quit working, a cooktop burner didn’t work, cushions weren’t secure, constant bad odor, etc. The dinghy latch did not operate smoothly… Also, be sure to check the medical kit- ours was missing some key items which we needed. And lastly, check for paper products, spices and trash bags… those should be standard on the boat.
This may read as a complaint, but it’s not. We had a fabulous adventure… just a heads up to be proactive when (& if!) you do your boat briefing. Happy sails!
