Choosing when to set sail and when to stay put is a crucial part of having an enjoyable time out on the water. And with a slew of modern weather devices, apps, and state-of-the-art weather forecasts, you might assume that surprises at sea are a thing of the past.

Embarking on the journey of monohull ownership through The Moorings Yacht Ownership Program is more than a financial investment—it's an invitation to a world of extraordinary holidays, unwavering service, seamless access to boats worldwide, guaranteed monthly returns, and the exhilaration of embracing the sailing lifestyle. Join us as we explore the stories of three couples who have found delight in the experience of owning a monohull through The Moorings.  

The cruising lifestyle is all about freedom and options — starting with the journey to ownership. If you’re curious about charter yacht ownership, we invite you to tune into our previously recorded livestream presentation. It’s a chance to gain unique insights from Christine, one of our Yacht Ownership experts.

Continuing our provisioning survival guide throughout the Caribbean, this month we set sail to the lesser-explored, quaint islands of the Abacos.  

As you embark on the thrilling decision of yacht ownership through The Moorings, the choice between a catamaran and a monohull sailing yacht might have you scratching your head. While both vessels offer unique advantages, there's an undeniable charm to discovering the sailing mecca of the Caribbean with a monohull and why monohulls still reign supreme amongst those truly looking to get away from it all.

It’s a debate as old as the sea itself: Sailboats vs powerboats. Tradition vs Innovation. The topic continues to spark debate and always will. But does it all really have to be so clear-cut? Can’t there be a time and place for both?

  There is nothing quite as relaxing as casting your lines in the water and slowly trolling along as you cruise between islands. Sipping on local beers and rum until you hear that unmistakable screech and spin of the line flying off the rod.

You've just flown into a sunny paradise to meet your boat for a week-long sailing adventure, but there is one question that always seems to mystify even the most seasoned sailor when dropping anchor in a new destination- “Where do we provision?”

Uncovering the hidden artistry of building a catamaran was the experience of a lifetime, and too good not to share.  

Everything works a little bit differently in the islands. From driving on the left with a left-side steering car, having your third beer of the day by 10 am and finding that all the grocery stores or fuel docks are empty, simply because the containerships filled with essentials have been delayed due to weather, or possibly for no reason at all. Everything is on island time, and locals and seasoned cruisers just know that there is nothing else to do but go with the flow.
