My wife and I started sailing in the BVI with CSY in the mid 70's. In 1986 we wanted to sail the lower Caribbean. The Moorings had a base in St Lucia and we chartered a 51 foot sloop for 3 weeks. The Moorings treated us well and we enjoyed the cruise. We have chartered with the Moorings from that time. Like what has been mentioned, chart briefings are sort of redundant when you have been there many times. With the recent hurricanes, I would attend the briefing! I've been told the other charter company's are good and maybe I should give them a try. Well,,, in all of these many years, I just don't have a reason to not use the Moorings. They have always been good to us!
PS: Just a little brag, we met Charlie & Ginny Cary when they still ran The Moorings. I also started with CSY in 1990 on a 55' Morgan Ketch. Epic trip with 7 law school buddies just graduated. We hired a captain for safety reasons. We knew by 3pm none of us wanted to be in charge. Moorings after that.
