We've taken many sailing vacations in the BVI with Moorings, always bareboat. This time we'd like to have a captain since we will have children on board. Has anyone sailed there with a captain and have someone in particular you recommend? Thank you!

Our daughter took us to BVI and sailed with the Moorings. We were on a cat with captain Peter Small and Bobbi who was doing all the first mate and cooking. Can't put in words how good of a time we had. Bobbi was a great cook and was very good with my grand daughter who is six. We ate like royalty! It was very enjoyable and we all liked the idea of not having to plan meals, cook and clean. We had not done this before and just wanted to do some snorkeling and sailing, Peter did a fine job considering we didn't give him much of a plan or an itinerary. I would suggest knowing where you wanted to go or what you wanted to do and not depend on the captain to be a mind reader! (Peter and Bobbi are true Brits and that was kinda fun too)

We were so pleased with the experience we are thinking we would like to check into the bareboat vacations. Could you tell me more about your experience? Do you have someone stock your boat? Have you done a half or partial plan where you eat on shore sometimes? I appreciate any information you can send.
