A laid back escape with good people and amazing diving
The crew really make sure you get what you came for- an amazing dive experience. Its a welcoming, relaxed, no pressure trip with lots of opportunity to see a spectacular part of the reef. As an intro diver I felt very safe too.

Great option for a short and affordable liveaboard.
Easygoing dive schedule, we did nice long dives. The crew also accommodated my wish to do a sunrise dive, meaning we jumped in the water a bit earlier than usual.

Great Sailing Adventure on the Great Barrier Reef.
We were only able to moor at Michaelsminn reef due to weather conditions, but the captain made sure we all saw our share of turtles, sharks, clown fish, and the beautiful colorful coral. I would also add that the trip back to the marina was a true sailing experience. We had winds at 25 knots and waves at 2 meters. The perfect conditions to experience real sailing.
- Recommended for
- 1. The crew were very experienced and knowledgeable on sailing and diving. 2. The captain (Christian) was very entertaining in providing the guests with the history and his knowledge of the reefs history, as well as efforts to continue the life of the reef. 3. The ship is older and in need of some TLC in the living quarters, but make no mistake this sailboat is in great sailing shape. The older woodwork in the cabin gave it an added ambience and nostalgia.
