The Moorings

The Mooring is a large, professional, and well respected yacht charter company which has been in business for 35 years. They offer around 28 exotic charter boat destinations worldwide to choose from.  The Moorings is well managed and the charter boats they offer in their fleet are well designed, of high quality and nearly always fairly new.

The Moorings was started in the 1960’s by Charlie and Ginny Cary.  After years of professional corporate careers in America they decided to follow their dream, cruise down to the Virgin Islands, and turn their passion for sailing and adventure into the largest charter business in the world.  Since the early days when yacht chartering was a relatively rare thing The Moorings has grown to such a size that they have a fleet of 288 yachts in Tortola alone.  Over the years the Tortola fleet base expanded out to St. Lucia, Grenada, Mexico, the South Pacific, Australia and most recently New Zealand.

The Moorings have yacht charter locations in The Caribbean, The Mediterranean, The South Pacific, The Americas and The Indian Ocean.  The bases in The Mediterranean include Greece, Athens, Corfu, Corsica, Dubrovnic, Ibiza, Gocek, Hyreres, Kos, Levkas, France, Nice Spain, Palma, Skiathos, Syros and Trogir.  The Caribbean Moorings bases are in The British Virgin Islands Tortola, St. Lucia. St Martin, Martinique, Grenada, Canouan, Belize, and The Grenadines. The South Pacific and Indian Ocean Bases include Auckland, New Zealand, Bay of Islands, Australia, The Whitsundays, Hamilton Island, Tahiti, Tonga, and the Seychelles. The North America fleets are based in Baja, The Bahamas, and The Pacific Northwest.

The Morgan Out Island 41 was the first type of charter boat commissioned. Later in the 1980’s came the Bruce Farr designed Beneteaus. The Moorings now charters their own Moorings inspired yacht charter boats including several catamarans.
