After starting out with Sunsail for a few trips I tried Conch Charters (based on a few recos). In two weeks I'll be departing for my 5th consecutive Conch charter. Prices are very good and I've only had a couple very minor issues with the boats...nothing that required immediate attention. The marina facilities are fairly basic but OK. Two weeks...can't wait!

Check with Marine Max in Hodges Creek. I have not chartered with them but I see their boats are very well equipped with all the bells and whistles. I do know the base manager there and he is straight up.
It's not what you've got, it's what you give, it's not the life you choose, it's the life you live.

bvichree said: Hi! getting ready for our next charter in June. We are looking to move away from the Moorings and try another company. We prefer 4 cabins/monohull/genset-AC. We have chartered with CYOA and they were great and are still on the list. What about alternatives on Tortola? Who do you love to charter from and why? We got burned the last time we chose a second tier company on tortola but they are closed now, but still we are a little nervous. Need a company with good service and solid boats. We do not require "fancy." try Footloose or Sunsail? Same base, good service. Nice well equipped boats designed for the charter market. I Have used Moorings, BVIYC, and Conch, & chartered a 46' Footloose 4/4 R&C in June and loved it. (Just booked a 44' Sunsail for June Abbacos trip this year.) Shop around for best overall deal, but I wouldn't go for the lower tier.
JPH I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.

Yes they do but it must be the "same size, type and age of yacht in the same destination and dates".
Life involves risks, take some prudent ones (NOT with the BVI ferries)!
