Share a Moorings rental?

Ok, so first question... Is Moorings worth it? It seems reasonable but with no experience renting sailboats, hard for me to know. I've gone through the experience "verification" and am qualified to rent from Moorings in BVI, so that's no issue.

Second question.... Is anyone interested in "sharing" (even split of costs) a Moorings rental this winter (COVID restrictions permitting)?

I'm an intermediate sailor with quite a bit of experience in Northern GOM and a few trips to Bahamas on others boats. I'm looking for a week or two sailing in the Caribbean and Moorings seems my only option. My current boat is too small and it would take far too long (regardless of boat) to get there from NW FL. I know it's a bit sketchy to agree to a $$$ commitment with people you don't know; hence my query. Trying to manage SOME method of sailing in Carib this winter...

Mike

Mike:

Are you still looking for chartering this Winter (Dec/Jan/Feb?). If so drop me a line -- I have a lot of experience chartering with companies in the BVI and may be interested.

You can also check out BVI Yacht Charters. I have used them in the past nice boats better on the pocket book.

Yup, talked with BVI Charters as well; nothing happening until the travel ban is lifted (supposedly 1 Dec), so this is probably going to get pushed to next fall (maybe spring).

You can charter in Antigua. Easy to spend a week in circumnavigation. Not a bad alternative if BVI is difficult or airfare impossible.
