The Moorings 5000 fully deserves its honorary title of Charter Boat of the Year. Considered to be the best boat in the world for a sailing holiday by Cruising World magazine, this king-size catamaran has totally outstripped its rivals and showcases all the know-how that the Robertson & Caine shipyards have accumulated over the years.
Reaching such a level of perfection is not just a matter of beginner’s luck. Quite the opposite in fact, because Moorings and Robertson & Caine have been working in close collaboration for over 25 years now in order to come up with this quintessential catamaran cruiser, which is finally available in our charter yacht management programs.
Once again, the responsibility for designing this boat was handed to Alex Simonis. And, as is his custom, he opted to go for the now tried and tested stepped hull design, which makes it possible to both wide enough to increase the living space above the water line and yet sufficiently well-profiled to ensure good sailing performance. The outcome of this very canny design is a catamaran which will fulfill any owner’s dream, as it is not only roomy, but also fast and powerful.
The Moorings 5000 features 4 double cabins with ensuite bathrooms, and can comfortably host a crew of eight. Notwithstanding, if required, a convertible dining table can be used in order to take on board last-minute additional crew members.
You’re going to have your work cut for you if you want to find a catamaran which is as well-appointed as the Moorings 5000. Be it the outside living spaces, the saloon or the cabins, nothing has been left to chance in order to provide you with the best sailing holiday imaginable in some of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
This congenial leisure area, located just above the aft cockpit on the flybridge provides a breath taking, panoramic view of the surrounding ocean for all the crew. It is the ideal spot to gaze at the sunset while comfortably sipping an aperitif, the boat safely nestled in your favorite cove.
Incredibly easy to handle at the helm for a boat of this size, it is the perfect choice for crews made up of debutantes or hardened sailors alike. And guess what else we have in store for you? All the lines, block and tackle are within easy reach when at the helm station! So, you can just decide to weigh anchor and set sail, whether you are with any group of friends or even if short-crewed, at the drop of a hat. It’s your boat, so it’s you who writes the rules.
This exciting yacht is the ideal layout for anyone looking for more outdoor living space. The flybridge includes a lounge area, table, shade, awning, exterior speakers, and a sunbed. Access to the flybridge is provided by floating stairs leading up from the aft cockpit.
In Leopard mode, the new 50 would be a comfortable home, capable of ticking off a good day’s run. At the Moorings 5000, well, let the parties begin.
All told, I loved the Leopard 50, and I think you will, too. Fun to sail, well built and designed, and then there’s that Upstairs Lounge. Nice!

All I can say is that we have been very impressed. The staff handling bookings and sales have been excellent. The marina staff and management throughout the world have been great. Basically everything I have been promised has been delivered. That is the reason we bought another boat. At the end of the day, we trust a company that has been around for so long.
“It is an affordable way to have a beautiful boat. The key word is affordable. Because the yacht is in the ownership program, it helps subsidize the cost of the yacht, And it is nice to be able to go to a beautiful place and enjoy your boat.”
“If you plan to charter multiple times a year and you enjoy it, you need to buy. I love the flexibility of use and that fact that we own a boat in the British Virgin Islands. As a Moorings Owner we don’t have to worry about insurance, dockage, repairs or maintenance. We use it, we enjoy it, and we love it. You get to explore more, and you meet a whole boating community. It also provides an opportunity to plug in with the locals, and you get to know people in a different light.”
