The Moorings Makes It Simple
You Can Do It
- Some of our destinations require a sailing certification. If you would like to learn which Moorings yachts you are already qualified to charter, speak to a Holiday Planning Specialist or complete our boating cv form.
- If you have chartered with us before, we may have your boating résumé on file. Verify with a Holiday Planning Specialist.
- If you don’t know how to sail, we have captains available for hire or consider one of our all-inclusive Crewed Yacht Charters with professional captain and gourmet chef.
- If you would like to learn how to sail, you can arrange a sailing holiday that includes basic or advanced sailing instruction from the renowned Offshore Sailing. We particularly recommend their Fast Track to Cruising course, taught aboard Moorings yachts in the beautiful British Virgin Islands. We also offer RYA power courses in select destinations.

What’s Included
Your yacht will be ready with fuel and water when you arrive. We also provide snorkelling fins and most of our yachts include amenities such as a barbecue grill, bimini (available on monohulls), GPS, chart plotter and autopilot. For a complete list of items included with your yacht, see What’s Included.
Optional Extras
Almost any other need you may have can be provided for, from flights and rental cars to kayaks, standup paddleboards, and dive equipment. For a complete list of optional charter extras, please see our Optional Extras.
What Size Boat Do You Need
Standing room and berth (i.e., bed) lengths vary from yacht to yacht. For the ultimate comfort of you and your guests, we recommend adding a few inches to your height to determine which size yacht will meet your needs.
You may be able to find the standing room and berth length of your yacht in the yacht’s detailed specification sheet, which can be found on the yacht’s page. If a specification sheet is not provided, ask a Holiday Planning Specialist for this information.
Briefings
Before you sail away, we’ll give you a detailed chart briefing on your cruising area. You’ll know where to find the best anchorages, restaurants, and beaches and be able to spot any navigational hazards. We will then give a thorough briefing on your yacht, its operation and the equipment aboard. You’ll also have the option of using our complimentary Friendly Skipper program (not available in the USVI). This service provides an experienced skipper who will take you out for up to the first four hours of your charter so you can feel more at home on our waters.
