British Virgin Islands

“This was our 2nd nine-day cruise around the BVI with Sunsail/The Moorings. Each time we’ve hired a Captain. Our 1st time the Captain was just “Ok”, this trip our Captain, “Rico” was awesome. Rico is engaging, knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to have on the boat. If you need to hire a Captain, we highly recommend you request Hendrico Vivier [Rico] you won’t be sorry 😊”

“My girlfriends and I chartered a boat in the BVI for five days with Rico as our skipper. We had never been to the BVI before or stayed on a boat. The boat was beautiful, very clean, and ran smoothly. The back drop of the BVI was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of the most memorable trips we have ever had. “

“Thanks to Rico, our skipper, we were well taken care of the entire time. He made sure we were comfortable and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable of the boat and the islands, he ensured everything was running smoothly. All we did was sit back and relax. He was very kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable, even helping with making one of us who does not know how swim comfortable in the water. We spotted some dolphins and sea turtles and went for night swims! He knew which sites to take us to based on what we wanted to experience. Because we went during the off-season, many restaurants were closed, and he researched ahead of time where we could dine and made reservations for us each night. He blended in seamlessly with our group and we would 100% recommend him! The trip would not have been the same with someone else! Thank you, Rico, for making this an unforgettable experience.”

“We had a beautiful week sailing in the BVI. The Sunsail dock facility is beautiful and the people are great and very helpful. We booked the wrong boat, too small. But Lindsay Roberts was able to provide us with a beautiful 50′ upgrade boat and at a reasonable price. So we had all the needed equipment to enjoy our trip.”

“Charter sailing, with any company, in the BVIs is a joy. Great, reliable winds and weather make for a sailors paradise. Sunsail / Moorings provides great boats and service and has a great facility / location.”

“Our charter with Sunsail in the British Virgin Islands (BVI) was an unforgettable adventure. Sunsail’s team provided exceptional service from start to finish, ensuring our catamaran was in top condition for comfort and performance. Sailing through the BVI’s stunning landscapes was breathtaking, and Sunsail’s expertise on the best spots to explore enhanced our experience.We faced a couple of technical issues along the way, but Sunsail’s prompt and efficient response ensured they were quickly resolved, allowing us to enjoy our sailing paradise without interruption. This level of attentive service made us feel highly valued and reassured us of Sunsail’s commitment to an unparalleled sailing experience.The flexibility to tailor our itinerary, combined with the beauty of the BVI and Sunsail’s outstanding service, made our trip magical. We left with memories of adventure, relaxation, and the joy of sailing, looking forward to our next journey with Sunsail.”

“Sunsail is a large operation and has some amenities that we have not seen elsewhere. Nice showers on shore with towels. Three places to eat close by and grocery shopping including a French deli within easy walking range. Staff were friendly and helpful.
Our catamaran was pretty new, very clean, well equipped. Everything worked well. My only complaint was the minimal storage in the cabins.
We modified our itinerary a bit as we went and had a good time. Winds were good and we did most of our traveling under sail. We have some experience sailing but enjoyed experimenting with the sails.
Our only problem with crowds was at the Baths. I would avoid that in the morning when tour groups may be more likely. Didn’t see really colorful coral, etc but I did swim in the midst of 40 or 50 little yellow fish–a thrill for me. S upper at Marina Cay was nice. The Pirate’s Bight was very noisy but I enjoyed the musician and dancing.
BVI is a beautiful, beautiful place.
PS: If you fly to St. Thomas and take the ferry make reservations for the return trip. We did not and the 2 convenient ferries were sold out, though we did get another after a mad dash up the coast.”
