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.

You'll never regret booking this trip and I can't wait for my next adventure with this crew!
This was my first live aboard and I was not exactly sure to expect. But Captain Alex and the rest of the crew put me at easy from the time we boarded the Morning Star. Captain Alex fully explained every leg of the journey and I felt completely safe the entire way, even over the rough sea crossings. My goal was to burn some calories with four dives a day, but Garett foiled that plan by supplying 3 awesome meals and great snacks, that I couldn't resist, each day! We all looked forward to the next marvelous selection and were perplexed at the magic Garett created in such a small kitchen space! Candela was the perfect Dive Master and she prepped and executed 27 dives for 19 divers flawlessly. All while teaching Advanced Open Water and Deep Dive Specialty (which I took during the week) at the same time. Each dive was like a new experience, even when we re-visited a location, and I knew what to look for beforehand which made the dive that much more enjoyable. I most enjoyed the shark feeding dive and the drift dive (which we need more than one next time!!) the most. Both were my first experiences with each and I felt safe, knowable about what to do, and maximized the moment for me. Martyna was a great dive guide and first mate, who pointed out a lot of sea life that I would have missed had she not pointed these amazing (and small) creatures to me on dives. Josh kept the Morning Star in tip top shape and we never experienced an issue, so that make him one helluva engineer. We had an eclectic group of divers, but we all blended so well and had a great time together. Every one was helpful, willing to serve as a dive buddy, watched out for each other on dives, had a great time socializing throughout the trip and REALLY took advantage of our last night out on the island when we docked. I would highly recommend booking with Blackbeards, who made the booking easy, follow-ups leading up to my arrival to keep me informed, transportation needs to.from airport/hotel, and was a real value for the money considering everything to received for an entire week! Needless to say that I'm now hooked and will seek to do a live aboard annually! However, it's going to be hard for the next crew to top the experience of this past trip on the Morning Star!

What an experience
The crew was absolutely phenomenal. They dealt with many adversities, yet always kept the passengers informed and had several options. Will do another liveaboard trip because of them.

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!

Time of my life, I will be returning. Thank you Cpt. Chris!!
The crew were phenomenal at their jobs above and below the water (Annie's smile lights up the room and shes so knowledgeable, Barry is so kind and a great dive instructor, Carson's laugh was contagious, Eli is filled with such positive energy and always willing to help out, Gunnar toiled away tirelessly in the gally making unbelievably delicous food every day, and Cpt. Chris is a salty dog with a heart of gold who made us all feel at ease). All of the crew were very approachable and they all tell great stories, the food was spectacular (thank you Gunnar), the music was on point setting the mood at every time of day, the epic dive sites were well chosen and incredibly fun and easy to dive, the accommodation are close to what you'd expect from a hostle but way better (bunk beds, small/medium size shared dining room/kitchen/lounge inside, open deck for socializing and music and relaxation, delicious rum punch nightly and even a beer tap and wine options), the cleanliness was immaculate and the ship was well maintained. Did I mention that all inside rooms have air conditioning?

happy to spend Christmas with the most maxing group of people and crew
This was my first and definitely not last liveaboard trip. The accommodation were basic but comfortable enough. The dives were amazing. But the highlight of the trip is the crew members. They are the coolest group of people who enjoy their jobs. The food was great and we even had awesome snacks in between dives. I highly recommend the Blackbeard sea explorer. Will be back. Oh did I mention we saw a ton of sharks?

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.
