Crew Comments

We first started sailing BVI waters in 1995 and since then have regularly visited until starting work for The Moorings in 2007 when we took the decision to quit our careers in England and focus on our passion for sailing. The pinnacle of our achievements was probably completing a circumnavigation of the World in 2012/13 in our own yacht for which we took a sabbatical from work.

Returning back in 2013 to the beautiful BVI once again we are now truly home. We look forward to welcoming back old friends and new guests alike. Let us share the magic of Natures Little secrets with you as we explore the fabulous BVI which has so much to offer including some excellent snorkelling and swimming.

Peter is a convivial Captain who will make you feel at ease and Jane is renowned for her culinary skills especially her delicious home baking. 

We are both non smokers.

 

Testimonials

We didn’t know what to expect on this trip but you both made this an experience we will never forget. We loved the suggestions and the itinerary you planned couldn’t have been better for our first BVI sailing trip. I say first because we will be back. Jane, your meals and hospitality were amazing. You made us feel at home from the start. Peter, with all that you know it seems like you have lived here and sailed these islands your whole life. We will highly recommend The Moorings and you both to our friends and family looking for a one of a kind, once in a lifetime experience. And we will see you both again on a future sail.

This trip has been a wonderful experience for great old friends. The places you have taken us, the snorkelling and adventures, the ‘drink of the day’, the meals and appetizers and advice beyond anything  we could have imagined and anticipated. Wonderful! A trip of a lifetime. Beautiful location and we enjoyed you both as a couple and as our crew. We all felt safe, secure & totally pampered. Thank You!!!  DM Colorado Springs, CO  

Peter and Jane, you went above and beyond.  We can't say an adequate thank you for taking such good care of us and for the wonderful but healthy food and drink.  You really know how to welcome guests and make us feel at home.  Thank you, thank you.
