Re: Which Charter company to use in Tortola?

Well done Stuart. I am not sure how to respond and have not in the past to the audacious representations B Fennel has made here, on TTOL, and his own website. Regardless of whether the claims he makes are true, why he would think they provide any value to his "new" business, or is believable to the point of hurting the "old" business is beyond me. He has continually maintained he is a man of many admirable traits not the least being honest and having integrety. His efforts, with such continued vehemence to defame,slander, defraud, and mislead the public, to cast aspertions against the current owners of Pro Valor Charters for the sake of his personal gain is beyond me and confirms what I and many from the Island know to be the truth.

Re: Which Charter company to use in Tortola?

For others who might read this post, I'd like to put in a word for Catamaran Co. I do have a boat in their fleet and would like to mention what i think is a key difference between them and a company like Moorings or Sunsail. Catco charges me for all repairs and maintenance. They mark up their labor and parts. They make money when they work on my boat. Apart from reputation, it is in their interest to keep my boat in top shape as they make more money. We know that is important.
A company like Moorings sends a fixed check to the owner every month. Maintenance and repairs come out of Mooring's bottom line. They make less money every time they repair a boat. It is in their interest, without jeopardizing their reputation, to do as little repair work as possible. This increases the likelihood of a failure during a charter or some wear and tear issues that Moorings does not fix and writes off to its being an older boat whereas Catco is inclined to stay on top of all their issues.
Just my point of view.
