Highlights
Join the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of All Star Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the All Star Liveaboards Fleet, offers 3 dormitory-style cabin areas with 18 bunks and 3 shared bathrooms. Each cabin area has AC, and all are sectioned off with privacy curtains, similar to a sleeper cabin on a train. There is a choice of double or single bunks. Buffet meals with picnic-style dining are served in the air-conditioned salon, and all meals, snacks, and drinks, including beer, wine, and rum punch, are included during your stay.
All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer trips include diving with sharks, exhilarating drift diving, beautiful walls, and blue holes around the Exuma Cays. There is no set itinerary aboard the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer; the captain and crew will take the boat where the conditions and weather are best. Plenty of non-diving activities are on offer, so your time above the water will be just as memorable as below.

Amazing trip with great dives, amazing food, and a crew that goes above and beyond
I just got back from the Morning Star, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we boarded until our departure, the crew took care of us exceptionally well. Most of the dives were unguided, but the dive briefings were detailed and extremely helpful, giving us everything we needed to confidently enjoy each site. The crew went above and beyond in every way. The facilities are basic but perfectly adequate, and everything was clean and well-maintained. We did have a little hiccup during the trip and had to return to port, but Captain Alex handled it professionally—giving us a clear download, setting expectations, and making sure we felt safe and cared for. The food on board was incredible, and the daily rum punch was a fun bonus! We even celebrated New Year’s Eve with bubbles, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, this trip left me a super happy bubble maker with a happy belly—I couldn’t recommend it more!

First time diving leading to a life changing experience
My first time diving after getting certified at a lake! An easy, yet exciting destination if you've done well with the basics. It was an awesome adventure, I learned a lot about myself and what I wanted out of life. Had amazing memories with the most interesting and kind people. Saw insane wildlife that I thought I'd never see in my life. It was surreal at times. I got AOW certified by Candela Ferrara and she was a great teacher, I felt like I really improved my buoyancy because of her. I can't wait for another journey like this. I'll be going on one again soon!

The diving, food and people were all amazing! I would recommend Blackbeards to anyone.
It was my first time on a liveaboard and I loved it! The staff and other passengers were great, and the shark diving was absolutely incredible. The blue hole was the coolest dive site I’ve ever done.

The best bang for your buck
This is a great diver's liveaboard experience. You have everything you need and no extra fuss or mess. You get about 4 dives per day and the locations are excellent. The crew works hard to make your trip an excellent experience. They have almost everything you need on that 65 foot boat. On my trip there divers of all levels from Open Water to Instructors. The dive sites were for all levels also. If you like to prep, dive, rest and repeat this boat and trip is for you.

Blackbeards truly IS the Best of the Bahamas!
The "Washing Machine" dive, the Shark Feed dive, and the impromptu underwater magic show! I've been on a lot of different liveaboards over the past few years, and Blackbeard's is the best in overall diving and fun! We will definitely be booking again!

Best trip ever!
The crew was absolutely fantastic (Hoppy, Olivia, Gunnar, Tom & Kirsten)! I was really nervous at first cause never spent that much time on a boat but quickly got reassured! The diving briefs were amazing & easy to understand what we had to do & what we could see. Simply the best experience of my life & already missing it!
