**Yacht Charters: Picking The Moorings or Sunsail? 🦀🚣‍♂️

Got a burning question about The Moorings and Sunsail? We got ya covered! Let's dive in and lay this sailor mystery to rest.

First off, do The Moorings own Sunsail?

Nope, not quite. Folks seem to think The Moorings gobble up Sunsail, but that's as true as a cold-beer mirage on a tropical sailing trip. Once upon a time, they were two separate, fearless competitors. The Moorings rooted in the US in 1969, flexing their muscles in the British Virgin Islands. Sunsail set sail a little later in 1974 from the UK, focusing on sailing conquests in Greece. Fast forward to the 2000s, and both brands hopped aboard the same parent company vessel. These days, they're a sailing power couple under one parent company umbrella, with many facets working harmoniously to make both brands flow smoothly.

Ok, so Sunsail is just old Moorings boats, right?

Way off base, matey! Sunsail is her own salt-seasoned ocean lady, captained independently of The Moorings fleet. Similar to The Moorings, Sunsail vessels, fresh from birth up to seasoned seafarers, can hold their own when it comes to showing off the latest and greatest.

Because Sunsail dips its toes in the same pond as the parent company, it's fortunate to swim alongside Leopard Catamarans, whose luxurious sailing crafts saturate both brands' fleets.

Is the Sunsail base as fancy as The Moorings charter base?

Wave those worries away! Over time, many aspects of The Moorings and Sunsail grounds have merged, making it one and the same. When you charter in the British Virgin Islands, Croatia, or Tahiti, you're welcomed by the very same marina, regardless of whether you embark on The Moorings or Sunsail. Fear not, Sunsail travelers, you're in the lap of lavish comfort, just like The Moorings fans!

What's the main difference between The Moorings and Sunsail?

Between the two, The Moorings and Sunsail differ in their offerings. Sunsail cultivates a keen passion for sailing and prides itself on promoting a "For Sailors, By Sailors" ethos. We design sailing vacations for passionate seafarers from all walks of life, whether it's aboard a bareboat sailboat or one of Sunsail's legendary Flotillas.

The Moorings, in contrast, unveils a wider assortment of charter options. Its heart remains with bareboat sailing, but it also launches custom-designed Power Catamarans and a fleet of all-inclusive crewed yachts with Captains and Chefs, setting it apart and appealing to a broader audience.

The Moorings dreams big and offers an elevated level of service and included amenities, while Sunsail caters to more seasoned sailors by keeping costs down and providing customization options.
