点评:This is our third time bare-boat chartering with The Moorings/Sunsail. Once again, the experience was top notch. The facilities on Tortola in the BVI are complete and fantastic. Restaurants, pool, bars, showers, transportation from the airport, ferry and for provisioning all of high quality. Easy to navigate check-out and check-in procedures. Vessel was clean and well cared for, all in peak working condition. We will charter with them again, somewhere in the world.
If you like sailing and exploring, learn to anchor safely and seek out alternative coves and bays to spend the nights. There are amazing places in the BVI off the beaten path. For every Soggy Dollar, there’s another cove with a lone restaurant serving great food with great snorkeling. Just what the Soggy Dollar used to be way back when. Otherwise, the “main” BVI cruising grounds are a bit crowded these days and many of our past stops have too many boats and people. The popular stops you read about are local party zones with loud music and packed restaurants and flags, tshirts and grub hanging from the rafters. You do not need to rely on BoatyBall. We used it for only one night, (had to) and had a fantastic experience.
The food is wonderful, even at the crowded restaurants. Foxy’s really provided a high quality meal. You can easily grab a great meal there, enjoy the atmosphere and not be inundated with the ruckus. Or stay for the ruckus if that’s your thing.
Our group would recommend not renting a Dufour made vessel. While it sailed fast and was kept in top condition by Sunsail, it lacked some comforts and necessities we expected. Admittedly, we are “cruisers” and might be considered persnickety in this area. Upon returning to base, we heard Sunsail updated the specifications for the newest Dufours which are yet to arrive. Sunsail really listens to the feedback and makes adjustments.

如果您喜欢航海和探索,不妨学习安全抛锚,寻找一些僻静的小海湾或海湾过夜。英属维尔京群岛有很多鲜为人知的绝美之地。每有一个像Soggy Dollar这样的餐厅,就会有一个小海湾,那里有一家提供美味佳肴和绝佳浮潜体验的餐厅。这正是Soggy Dollar餐厅昔日的风采。此外,如今英属维尔京群岛的“主要”巡航区域略显拥挤,我们过去停靠的许多地方都船只和游客过多。你在游记里看到的那些热门地点,其实都是当地的派对场所,到处都是震耳欲聋的音乐、人满为患的餐厅,屋顶横梁上挂满了旗帜、T恤和各种小吃。其实你完全不必依赖BoatyBall。我们只用了一次(迫不得已),体验非常棒。
即使在人多的餐厅,食物也很美味。Foxy's餐厅的菜品质量真的很高。你可以轻松地在那里享用一顿美餐,享受氛围,而不会被喧闹声所干扰。当然,如果你喜欢热闹,也可以留下来体验一番。
我们建议不要租用Dufour品牌的船。虽然它航行速度很快,而且Sunsail公司保养得也很好,但它缺少一些我们期望的舒适性和必需品。当然,我们是“巡航爱好者”,在这方面可能有点挑剔。回到基地后,我们听说Sunsail公司已经更新了最新款Dufour船的规格,这些船目前还没有到货。Sunsail公司确实很重视用户的反馈并会做出相应的调整。
