The Sunsail/Moorings Base
The Sunsail Marina is one of the best Marinas to stay at in the British Virgin Islands for your ultimate sailing vacation. Don’t be confused by the terms “The Moorings” and “Sunsail” they are actually the same company, but the parent company has kept them separated for marketing purposes. Before arriving to the Marina you should know if you are on a Sunsail or Moorings boat so the staff can help direct you to the correct location.
After arrival to the BVIs and when you get the Marina, most groups will congregate by the bar and pool. Find the “Yachtlife” Flag and you will find our group. The day you board the boats can sometimes be a little hectic, so plan to be on “island time” and grab a cocktail and wait until your captain gives you instructions on what to do.

If you ordered food online, the provisions will be delivered straight to your yacht for you sailing vacation. There is also a small provision store located at the base marina and there is a grocery store just a short 10 minute walk from the base. The grocery store is called Riteway and more information can be found here.

Watersports
Make sure to get snorkel gear while at the marina. Most of the boats will have them on there, but you want to make sure there is enough and that they properly fit. If you want to get some other watertoys the marina offers (for rent): 1 man kayaks, 2 man kayaks, beginner SUPs, intermediate SUPs, and floats.
The Sunsail Marina is just the stop in our amazing sailing adventure for the week! This is a great time to learn the yachts and learn your fellow crew.
