Briefings
Before you sail away, we'll give you a detailed chart briefing on your cruising area. You'll know where to find the best anchorages, restaurants and beaches and be able to spot any navigational hazards. We will then give a thorough briefing on your yacht, its operation and the equipment aboard. You'll also have the option of using our complimentary Friendly Skipper program. This service provides an experienced skipper who will take you out for the first afternoon so you can feel more at home on our waters. | Preserving Paradise
The Moorings takes every precaution possible to protect the sea, such as using EPA-approved paints on the hulls. Please join us in protecting our waters. Whenever possible, anchor in sand, and make sure that when the yacht swings on its anchor, all of the chain has enough room to clear coral heads. Coral takes numerous years to grow and serves a vital role in the delicate marine ecological balance. Please do not remove any living shells or coral from their natural habitats. For souvenirs of the sea, purchase cleaned shells, which are available at many gift shops and help support the local community. In other words, “Take nothing but pictures; leave nothing but your wake.” This way, paradise will never be lost.
