Bad experience
Did not enjoy my experience with Footloose two years ago. The staff were not around when I arrived the morning of our trip and had to wait a considerable period at the marina for until they finally showed up.
Boat was generally old and showed it, not kept in good condition. The throttle handle was loose and after asking one of the staff people about it to no avail I had to tighten it myself. The galley stove had a missing knob and the gas was not filled properly. Had I not checked and had them refill it, would have been toast on day 2 of my trip.
Other than that, the trip was great, but will not use them again.

Disagree with last post
I have done a bunch of chartering in the BVI and have been very happy with CatCo, both in terms of boats and service. The people there are attentive and helpful, I think you just have to understand that charter companies are not hotel operators and not expect to be pampered all the time. The most important things is that the boats are well taken care of and that the check-out, charter briefings, etc. are informative and efficient. What really matters is to get out on the water and that once you are there, everything works.
At Catamaran Co, the facilities are good, the boats are well maintained and the people know how to run a charter outfit. I have chartered there a couple of times and whenever I have had problems they have been prompt in resolving them.
Would recomend the Privelege designs over the Lagoons, but that is personal preference and both are nice.
I have also used Voyage and like them as well.

Past the 'best before' date
Bad experience overall with Conch unfortunately. Ruined our vacation. Boat not well kept...smelly beds, smelly cabinets. Heads not working properly. Boat missing integral equipment and staff not really caring. There are many posts on this company that are positive and I suspect have interests in the company, so just be cautious about what you read.

Great company, OK location
Went with my Husband for a couple of weeks around Ambergris Cay a couple of years back. Was a nice change from the New Jersey winter! Beautiful reefs and friendly people. Not overly crowded, so made for a very relaxing charter, which was exactly what we are looking for.
We have used TMM multiple times, so it was an easy choice to try them in Belize. Service, staff and yachts were all first rate.
One thing I would say is that I was not a big fan of the Athena we took, but that is a function of the layout (don't like the galley layout at all) than of the Company.
If we go back to Belize, will try Placencia instead of going back here as the islands are more developed. We did feel a bit isolated at times, which was a bit unnerving to me but probably OK with most sailors.
