The crew working at Sunsail Belize were top-notch, friendly, respectful, and answered any questions we ever had along the whole trip. I would highly recommend this being the only charter company you go with in Belize.

Sunsail/moorings was very attentive to our needs. We had a lazy jack malfunction two hours into our trip. We returned to port and they did the repair and got us going within a very short tinme.

We booked a 46 foot monohull and Sunsail upgraded us to a 45 foot catamaran. We are most grateful as the cat was much more comfortable.

Clean

Broken jammer and broken oven. I called about the broken over on day 1. They told me a chase boat would be out to fix it. No one ever came through the charter. We had items that needed to be baked that we had to give away since no oven.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
See above for oven. Rest of equipment was fine. No cork screw.

Yes

The yacht was clean. Everything was in good working condition, with the exception of the generator and and port A/C system.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes. I am not sure why we had bone china for dinner plates. The knives need to be sharpened.

Yes
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
I have chartered with Sunsail in the past. This was the first time I chartered a sailing catamaran as opposed to a mono-hull. The catamaran had much more room and was more comfortable.
The Sunsail folks were a great help with the paperwork and organizing our transportation back to the airport for out departure.

Did the staff do a good job familiarizing you with the yacht and its equipment?
Again - miscommunication and poor information. We were told that the skipper would not come aboard until Saturday morning, and that someone at the base would give our boat briefing on Friday afternoon upon our arrival. Turns out, unknown to us, the skipper had been waiting for us most of the afternoon on Friday (see previous comments). The skipper then gave us a partial boat briefing. No staff involved. I had to figure out how to get the propane flowing for the stove (and a few other things) so that we could eat aboard Friday night.
Was the yacht clean and in good working condition?
Yes clean, but NO to good working condition: 1. The batteries on this boat were basically dead. They could not hold a charge overnight. Skipper had to run the generator most of the evenings so that we could have enough power until the following day. 2. Except for the two short docklines that were thrown aboard from the dock, WE HAD NO LINES ABOARD. As a sailor myself, I know what a danger it is to sail without sufficient lines aboard that can be used for all kinds of situations. 3. The air conditioning thermostats did not function. The AC was either full blast or off.
Was the yacht's cooking and cleaning equipment sufficient?
Yes
Was the yacht well ventilated?
Yes
Additional comments about the charter company and yacht you chartered?
Lack of attention to correct information, lack of attention to important yacht attributes such as fresh batteries and plenty of lines will prevent me from using VI sailing and SunSail again. I have had much better experience with the so called "second tier" charter companies. On the positive side, our skipper (vincent) was great throughout the whole trip.

Like I said we had problems with the first boat but they made it right with an upgraded boat to finish our trip. Staff was great especially Kendall. He is the reason we'll be coming back again.
