The Moorings has introduced new high-speed support boats in the British Virgin Islands to provide faster on-the-water assistance for yacht charter guests. The boats allow its marina base team to reach travelers directly on the water faster than ever before, in a wide array of weather conditions, for hands-on support and technical troubleshooting. For more than 55 years, The Moorings has helped travelers discover the world’s most extraordinary sailing destinations with expert guidance, reliable yachts and attentive customer care. Whether embarking on a fully crewed luxury yacht charter or navigating the islands independently aboard a sailing or power catamaran, guests benefit from a local team who help take the technical and logistical complexities out of a vacation at sea.

Faster On Water Assistance

The new boats form part of the company’s marina support operation in the BVI, home to its most established charter operation. The Moorings provides pre-departure vacation planning, yacht preparations and detailed charter briefings, followed by local cruising guidance and on-the-water assistance.

Ian Pedersen, Head of Brand & GTM at The Moorings, said:

“We believe that true luxury is having the freedom to explore with complete confidence, knowing that an experienced team is there to support you every step of the way. Our guests should be thinking about their next beautiful anchorage, not the technical details of operating a yacht. These new, upgraded support boats are another way we continue to invest in the people, infrastructure and services that make a vacation with The Moorings feel effortless, whether you’re an experienced sailor or discovering the joy of chartering for the first time.”

Support Across The Charter

For travelers chartering independently, access to expert technical assistance provides peace of mind. Guests aboard fully crewed yachts have a professional crew supported by The Moorings’ wider network of onshore specialists.

The company’s fleet includes sailing yachts and power catamarans. The Moorings is the longest continually-operating charter company in the British Virgin Islands.

British Virgin Islands Operations

The British Virgin Islands offer calm turquoise waters, sheltered anchorages and short passages between islands for first-time charter guests and seasoned sailors. The new support boats add to the company’s service, infrastructure and expertise in the destination.
