With a knowledgeable captain to navigate the journey, guests can effortlessly travel between all of their must-see attractions. And thanks to the 514PC’s twin 350hp engines, they can do so in less time.

Whether it’s the towering boulders of The Baths, the pristine beaches of Cooper Island or Virgin Gorda’s lively beachside bars, every location is always just a short cruise away.

Before departure, Moorings chefs make it a point to learn their passengers’ dining preferences, and then craft a variety of customized meals, hors d’oeuvres and drinks over the course of their charter.

From traditional breakfasts like eggs benedict and fresh fruit to candle-lit dinners over grilled filet mignon and chardonnay, these professional chefs provide an all-inclusive dining experience unlike any other today.

“The BVIs are like a power yacht playground. You’ve basically got an all-access pass to dozens of different islands, things to do and some of the most beautiful sights in the Caribbean,” said Josie Tucci, General Manager of The Moorings. “Add a crew to the equation and you have two people who not only handle most of the work, but genuinely want to make your time here as unforgettable as possible.”

Available for booking now, Moorings 514PC crewed charters will begin November 2015 in the BVI; Grenada and the Bahamas will also join the itinerary options in the New Year. For reservations and additional information, visit www.moorings.com.au/crewed
