The Moorings, the Caribbean’s top yacht charter company, has announced a big expansion at its base in Tortola, British Virgin Islands this year. 

The Moorings and sister company Sunsail have added 78 new yachts, including 19 new monohulls, 35 new sailing catamarans and 24 new power catamarans to the BVI fleet. 

The new yachts have a combined value of $70 million. 

“As a business we have invested heavily in our BVI operation,” says Josie Tucci, VP of Sales & Marketing for The Moorings and Sunsail. “As the largest charter operator in the world’s most popular charter destination, we take great care to ensure a welcoming experience for our guests, and have gone to great lengths to maximize the guest experience through our marina revitalization project, and new fleet replenishment. Ultimately our aim is to provide an unparalleled customer experience to the many thousands of visitors we welcome each year.” 

The British Virgin Islands’ charter industry is in the midst of a full-blown renaissance, with double-digit growth annually. 

It’s another great sign for a destination that has long been considered the sailing capital of the Caribbean. 

“Ultimately, with demand for charter vacations in the islands soaring, The Moorings & Sunsail remain primed to help usher this demand into a successful 2024 and beyond for the territory,” The Moorings said in a statement.
