I'm not sure what you are looking for. Do you mean bareboat or do you mean charter? I would like to know.

the moorings is a very reputable company that has both options (bareboat and crewed)--they run out of Tortola

I'll second the recommendation for Sherry Yates. We booked our honeymoon through her and she was extraordinarily pleasant, competent and timely in her communications.

If you are looking for a yacht for two people, I highly recommend Yacht Phaedrus. We sailed with them over 5 years ago and still keep in contact with Charles and Leslie and make it a point to see them whenever we are in the Islands, if they are around. Great people and a great boat.

Yes we are looking at crewed . BVI area. Thank-you for input, I'm in the exploring stage? Guess you could call it.

Ellen Stewart at www.stewartyachtcharters .com has been here in the VI for a very long time and has always been the best lady to deal with for me -- she KNOWS the boats and the crew and what they can offer and is absolutely easy to work with.

exit-(and others) thanks for this input--that is certainly good to know--i am not in the market for a charter this year, but it is always somethign we'd thought about , so it's really great to know that there is someone who is totally trusted-- i will certainly give her my business when we decide to do it! didn't mean to hijack the thread parrot!!!

We took our first sailing adventure in April/May. We looked at the Moorings and other options and decided to book a Captain/Owner charter. Check out www.sailingbluemoon.com. Captain Jim is awesome and the trip was fabulous. Let me know if you need more information.
