Have you ever thought about taking a charter vacation with The Moorings? I was lucky enough to charter the brand new Moorings 464 Powercat (Leopard 46 PC) in Miami in March of 2022, and it was one of the best experiences of my life! While the Moorings 464PC is not currently available for charter in Florida, I can only imagine how much more of an outstanding experience it would have been island hopping in the Caribbean. If you've ever wanted a detailed description of a charter trip, look no further. Read more about my experience below. 

There’s more than one way to live the boat life, and for many people, charter ownership is the way to go.

It’s a chance to gain unique insights from someone who grew up sailing on Moorings charters and has owned two charter boats.

A Moorings life for me Once the youngest owner ever to own a charter boat in our fleet, Jeff Monuszko comes from a family who has been sailing with The Moorings for over 20 years.

At first through owning and chartering a Moorings 4500 in the BVI, and now through private ownership, Jeff and Adrienne Cone have learned a lot from cruising on their Moorings 4800 and now Moorings 4500/ Leopard 45, named Wind Therapy.Tune into the recording of their live stream, "Ask a Moorings and Leopard Owner", to learn about their unusual journey as yacht owners and what they’ve learned along the way. These veteran cruisers will offer a ton of valuable insights based on their experience, including and the pros and cons of purchasing their catamaran new through The Moorings Yacht Ownership and how they converted a charter boat into a liveaboard boat. The couple took questions and share their thoughts on life as full-time cruisers.

The debut of the Moorings 534PC (Leopard 53PC) at the Miami Boat Show in February of 2020 created yet another show stopping experience with people lining up to see our incredible new power catamaran.  While our previous power cats have shared the same interior layout of a closely sized sail catamaran (with differences built into the hulls to adapt to “power” coming from the sails versus the larger engines on the power cats), the 53PC is a completely new design with a focus on making it a true motor yacht. 

Tony Rainold and his wife, Sherryl, along with Charlie and Ginnie Cary, the founders of The Moorings, met as you would expect -- through sailing. And the idea to open a charter company in the Caribbean came as all great ideas do, under the influence of rum.

The Moorings is credited with creating the “guaranteed income” ownership model that has become the most popular plan among the world’s largest charter companies. This attractive option aims to remove all risk to the owner as it ensures their loan or lease payment will be covered in the form of a guaranteed monthly payment from the charter company.  Boat buyers are reassured during the sales process that no matter what, they will receive this payment, regardless of the actual charter activity of their boat. This guarantee is the cornerstone of the entire program.  Without it the model fails, and the owner can be put in a very difficult situation.
