The Moorings, yacht charter specialists, proudly opened the new Moorings Village at the end of January as part of their $15 million expansion of their flagship base in Road Town, Tortola in the BVI. Their commitment to the environment and preserving the cruising grounds they operate in show extensively with this expansion. From a desalination plant, which provides 60,000 gallons of water daily, to a laundry operation that recycles treated water to save 12,000 gallons on a daily basis and a pump-assisted flow through breakwater in the new marina that can circulate over 50 million gallons of water weekly. They have already greatly improved water quality in the Road Town harbor.

The new Moorings Village is nothing short of a luxurious treat. The staff greets you and takes your bags directly to your yacht while you're welcomed in the reception area with a tasty island drink. Venture into the plaza where you will be delighted to find island pastries, ice cream and gourmet coffee. A full service spa for the latest relaxing treatments, business center and free WI-FI internet access rounds out your vacation experience.
