All aspects of trip from booking, to asking questions, to checking in and checking out went very smoothly. We’ll be back before long.
Fantastic customer experience. The staff are polite and patient. They take time to explain the boat and answer questions.
They even sat down to review our sailing itinerary and made suggestions based on local weather and sailing experience to ensure we started our week off right!
Boat was in excellent condition. Staff were very friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.
We had an overall good experience with our charter. The staff were friendly and helpful, the boat was in mostly great shape and the vacation was wonderful!
Sunsail has always provided an excellent charter experience for us. We appreciate the product this company provides, and the effort to create a reliable, high-quality sailing vacation.
From start to finish, the Sunsail owner and staff were welcoming, extremely competent, informative and professional. We can’t wait to go back. The boat was in excellent condition and the check-out and sailing guides made our family vacation the best it could be
The whole process is smooth from the start to the finish. All staff are very friendly and helpful. Loved the Catamaran and all the facilities on board.
I have chartered with Sunsail many times, in many destinations. The boats are very clean and in good shape and the base crews are friendly and helpful.

Dubrovnik was a great operation, well organised, well equipped and maintained yachts and a superb sailing area. As always, I think it’s the lead boat crew that really make the holiday – professional, knowledgable, helpful and friendly with great briefings and organisation.
I got prompt responses to all my questions prior to our arrival. The check-in process with the office was so smooth and helpful. Our skippers were excellent! Took us to remarkable snorkeling spots, taught us the basics of being at the helm, and were fun to spend time with.
Everything from start to finish – the boat, the lead crew (Joel, Imogen, Miha), the itinerary, free sail day, and final meal were all superb.
Very professional, modern boats, perfect lead crew, lovely ports of stay
Everything, from booking to check-in to check-out, went smoothly. The flotilla crew went above and beyond helping the boats with any issues and made sure we all had a great experience
Base personnel were fantastic. Base itself is clean and has wonderful amenities
The well equipped 44ft modern yacht. The excellent choice of locations in the Ionian Sea and
above all the friendly and helpful services provided by all of the lead crew throughout the week. A special mention must be to lead crew member Malik who deserved our highest praise.
One word. Trust. Let’s flesh that out a bit – arrival to a clean and prepared boat. Their process and systems are well considered given the responsibility of leasing boats to sometimes novices.
We like the great service you provide and the high quality of your yachts.
Es war ein rundum gelungener und wunderschöner Urlaub.
Can speak easily to an advisor
Sunsail Athens personnel where incredibly helpful, knowledgeable ,and accommodating
The flotilla lead crew assistance with reserving berths at quays, Med moorings, technical issues, and social events to meet crews from all over the world all makes for a wonderful Mediterranean sailing experience.
We couldn’t fault one area of the holiday, from booking with Carla – who was so helpful- to the lead crew to the boat itself. Everything was beautifully managed
Superb support team (Imogen, Joel and Davey) and great yacht.
Excellent tuition by Michael for Day Skipper. Gorgeous locations, comfortable boat!
High level of service and quality of boat/condition.
Simply because of the reputation, and easy of my experience thus far and I know the fleets are comparable around the world at other chartering destinations
Facility was top notch as well as staff. We had no issues with our catamaran. Very responsive office during booking process.
The whole package!
My wife and I just returned from a weeklong charter with Sunsail / The Moorings in the BVI. Our original 46 foot monohull from the Moorings became unavailable due to damage a couple of days before our charter, but the booking team substituted an identical replacement boat from the Sunsail fleet at the last minute.
Our captain, Will Stewart, was the highlight of our trip. With training from the British military and the Royal Yachting Association, he was the perfect captain for us. I wanted to re-acquire my long dormant sailing skills, and by the second day Will turned our charter into an extended sailing school, which is exactly what I was hoping for. A natural teacher whose high standards inspired us to perform our best, Will had us handling most aspects of sailing the boat by the end of our charter.
In addition to his patient instruction, Will coordinated all the details necessary for us to enjoy our trip tremendously, from itinerary planning, to provisioning, to reservations on the nights we dined ashore. On the nights we cooked onboard, Will was a delightful dinner companion for my wife and me.
My wife and I are already planning to come back, this time with friends. We were lucky to have Will as our captain and guide this time, and we will make sure he is with us the next time we sail here.
Our family had a fantastic time in the BVI onboard our Sunsail 424 for a 5 day charter. It had been 30 years since I sailed here (in my single days) and I was excited to share the BVI adventures with my family. From arrival to departure, Sunsail’s customer service was exceptional! Of course, I knew 5 days wouldn’t be enough but my plan work, my family is hooked on sailing vacations and already talking about another Sunsail adventure next year!
Great location and yacht. Flotilla holiday made the sailing a lot more relaxing owing the competence and support of the flottila crew, which advised on the places to stay/stop overnight, and ensure that we had a berth. Finn, Eleanor and Carraig were great.
All aspects of trip from booking, to asking questions, to checking in and checking out went very smoothly. We’ll be back before long.
Superb! We are Sunsail owners, and have used our weeks at bases all over the world. I have to say that the staff at the Belize base was among the best we have ever encountered. There had been some miscommunication about our sleep-aboard the night before our charter, but the base manager and cleaning staff went above and beyond to get the boat ready so we didn’t have to scramble to find a hotel. The boat was impeccable (even with the rush cleaning) and the sailing area was fantastic. Provisioning was easy and delivered promptly. Great experience!
We went sailing for one week on board a Sunsail 454 Premium in Belize . Everything was perfect! Easy booking, the staff at Sunsail Base is extremely helpful and attentive, the boat is impeccable, with everything you need and more, the islands are a dream, snorkeling amazing, with turtles, dolphins , manatees in the most preserved reef in the Caribbean. This is our second time and we highly recommended this for everyone.
Amazing time with Captain Leo and Mike! They took wonderful care of us! Beautiful ride in the lagoon. Learned some great facts about Belize and hope to come again. 🙂
From the moment we booked with Sunsail, everything was very easy. Becky responded to our emails very quickly, was knowlegdable and made arrangements for taxis etc seamlessly. On arrival at Agana the reception staff were very helpful, we could leave our bags and wondered off to have a leisurely lunch. We were lucky to get access to the boat early, a cheerful welcome message with contact details was in the cabin. We met Tadek our skipper and trainer a short while later for a quick introduction. There are too many high points to go through our weeks experience with Tadek, we had the most brilliant time with him and had the most brilliant instruction from him. We started as 2 potential Comp Crew and ended with 1 Day Skipper and 1 Comp Crew. We were ectastic. It is probably the best holiday we have had as a couple in a very long time. There was a sister boat running a day skippers course and we had the pleasure of meeting them and Michael, the Lead Instructor who was also so knowledgable and very encouraging and positive. I cannot extend our thanks enough to Tadek, for a brilliant, brilliant week. It was such a pleasure to meet you. We did the course in preparation for a sailing trip with friends that is booked for June via Sunsail in Greece, island hopping. We are very much looking forward to this trip. Overall we had a fabulous experience thank you to all involved.
Simply the best. We had from start to finish an outstanding experience. Great place, superb sailing, excellent Sunsail crew – Finn, Jesse, Becky – could not have been more welcoming, helpful, and their skills and warmth made for a great time for everyone. Loved the freedom to sail all day and explore, while coming together in beautiful harbours each evening. We will be back!
Just returned from an amazing 12 day trip out of Placencia on a Sunsail 454 with 2 other couples. Couldn’t have been more perfect. We’ve chartered in many locations, but Belize is really special – so many islands, few boats, no crowds, friendly people. We’ll be back. The Sunsail/Moorings staff are great – among the friendliest and most responsive of any chartering company we’ve used. Miss Rene, Diego, Mateo, Kevin and all of the team were really great. And extra shout out to the captain we had for first four days of the journey – Dwayne – who is exceptional.
Great staff at Sunsail. Very thorough boat & navigation briefings. The Sunsail 424 is a beautiful boat with well thought out design characteristics. Our crew of 5 enjoyed features such as A/C, watermaker, cockpit fridge, and more. The boat was immaculately maintained.
Fantastic in every regard. The captain they provided was just the best! A great sailor, so knowledgeable, and so much fun and friendly. (Thank you Ana!). The boat was perfect – new and everything functioned well. And the BVI’s are just the most magical place to sail. The staff at Sunsail was so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend Sunsail and the entire experience.
We had an awesome time on the flotilla sailing around Croatia. The lead crew were great, really helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. They made sure everyone had a really good time.
Really well positioned sailing base with super helpful staff and great boats for the Belizean coast
We took a 340 leopard catamaran for 5 days with two couples on board. Three cabins gave us loads of space and though the catamaran changes the connection to wind and water, it’s the only type of vessel to take in these waters.
The scary warnings they have to give about the implications of running into corral should be tempered by the care they take in the briefing to give you local knowledge and easy to follow waypoints built into the on board gps to help you navigate safely without expert navigational experience.
We initially thought the boat was over specced with hot water showers, saline to fresh water converter, generator, ac, coffee machines and fully equipped galley. When we realised that you need to be fairly self sufficient in these waters for food, water and energy we valued the Gucci nature of the kit.
This was a brilliant way to pootle, swim and fish in the unspoilt south of this amazing country – we will be back and for longer this time.
Thank you to the sunsail/moorings staff for being so helpful and maintaining my the boats to a high standard.

First time in the BVI and loved it. The people were lovely as was the food. I have to say that much as the yacht was in perfect condition, it was infested with cockroaches which is inexcusable to me. How can a yacht be handed over like that? I found food quite expensive as well, but none of this detracted from the amazing time we had.
I had sailed for years and finally took the RYA five-day skipper course with Michael, the instructor. This was an unforgettable experience. Michael is an extraordinarily knowledgeable and experienced sailor. He demonstrated patience and provided skilled teaching guidance. Revise the course before you go! Michael continually tests your knowledge, which is needed to apply it to the practical course on the boat. It’s hard work but worth it! Sunsail made it very easy for me in the booking process, answering my questions and explaining every detail. I passed and have since sailed with joy and confidence.
We had the best time in Belize. Our captain was so knowledgeable of his country. Every island we stopped at he knew everyone. He would dive and catch fresh fish and conch. Our chef was a delight. His food was so delicious. He had lots of experience in the kitchen.
The sailing was magnificent and the islands were a delight. Snorkeling was awesome.
The staterooms were perfect. Each had its own private bathroom and shower.
Best vacation ever.
For the second time, we came to Athens. This time the itinerary took us to the Saronic Islands. Final destination: Nafplio.
Once again, the services of the Sunsail team in Athens were very good. The supplies were there and of quality. Especially since we had asked for a quick departure, wanting to leave at the end of the afternoon for Egina. Everything was perfectly respected. The same was true for the return.
Finally, a word about the boat: a one-year-old Sunsail 46. Very good boat with the charm of electricity (winch, annex) due to the power generator.
In short, pure happiness!
The flotilla was the right call for us as we had never been here before. It took the stress out of finding a dock, getting there in time and getting around the harbors. The sun, weather, winds were wonderful. We never motored. Provisioning was a short walk. The food, sights and people were amazing. We all (8) had a memorable experience. Made some friends on the other boats. I would come back here and do this all over again in a hearbeat.
Sailing in Belize is superb because it is not crowed (usually had the anchorage to ourselves), good winds and excellent snorkling. What really set it apart was having Rudy as our skipper.
