First time on board, kicked off a new passion.
In a word diving with blackbeards was AMAZING. The food was delicious, the crew beyond friendly, and the dive instruction top notch. I got my advanced open water while I was onboard and I am excited to continue my diving journey. I am already planning my next trip through them to do it again.

A very worthwhile dive cruise！
The well-organized and well-planned schedule gave me a sense of security, and the decisions made by captain, who put safety first, were very reliable. I especially have great memories of washing machine draft diving. And the shark feeding is also very impressive.

Best bang for your buck
Being able to do four dives a day was fun. The shark dive was very interesting, (my first). The dive at the Blue Hole with the sharks and rays laying in the sand left me wanting to do it again. Captain Breezy was great at keeping the trip interesting. The gold star goes to Jenn who kept us fed with great meals. Our dive master Justin, was very good with the dive briefings. And our first mate Iain and engineer Tamly kept everything working. If you don't mind camping on the water this cruise is for you.

Nothing to change, everything was perfect!
Every day was magical!! The crew was very attentive, the comfort of the cabins is more than enough for the time we spend there, Karen is an exceptional chef, Sarah is the diving instructor we all dream of and all the people we meet on the boat at the top!! Ideal for solo divers. The bar is set high for a first (and certainly not last) liveaboard!!

Excellent Vacation
This was a fantastic vacation. Very knowledgeable and skilled dive master. Food was great, crew are wonderful people. We got lucky with great weather and an awesome group of passengers on board. As someone new to diving it was especially helpful to have multiple clear shallow dive sites, and it easy to get an extra hand on board.

Camping at sea
The first time on a sailing liveaboard boat. Space is quite limited but diving is still very good. Most of the dives are shallow, ideal for beginners. Dives can be a bit repetitive, deep dives worth but they are few in the week. Considering the price it is worth.

Who could ask for more?
This was my first liveaboard I was nervous being a single diver but the professionalism of the crew put me at ease. It included detailed dive briefings and them acting as a dive buddy when needed. The shark feed was the next highlight of the trip because it was my first time experiencing anything like that. The boat had some issues during a storm but the crew remained calm addressed the problem quickly while keeping us informed. I was so impressed I booked another trip in May before the last day of the adventure.

Customer Service Focused
Every day was an adventure with the crew taking care of all your needs. From getting in and out of the water they are there to assist you and make the transitions easy. The dive briefs were detailed and coordinated in a professional manner, giving everyone an idea what to expect and what to look for. The meals and snacks were excellent, with excellent presentation and taste. Safety was always the number one priority for those in and out of the water. Congratulations to both the Captain and crew of the Morning Star, you have given me a memory of a lifetime as well as watched over me assuring I could return to my family back in Tennessee.

This is THE boat for people who LOVE diving!
Budget liveaboard that attracts the absolute best divers who only care about one thing: diving! I met some of the best divers on board and the camaraderie is unmatched! Doesn't matter how much experience you have with diving, you'll have a place on the boat! Divers helping other divers bettering diving skills! The food was excellent. Our cook, Gunnar, is an outstanding chef! You can taste the love in all of his food. The boat crew was so fun, friendly and professional! People keep on coming back to do their annual dive trip with Blackbeard's liveaboard, and now I know exactly why! Can't wait to be back on the same boat!

Blackbeard’s is camping on the sea, the ultimate adventure
We dove 18 times and visited several cool sights on nearby islands. The crew was professional, courteous, and super fun. As a former river guide I felt right at home on this trip. It was like being on one of those adventures again, just on a different boat. If you love camping, diving, and having a good time then this is the trip for you!

Really enjoyable week
Great value, despite tough weather still got in a number of excellent dives. The crew is well organized, accommodating, and welcoming. The food and drink was much better than expected. I like that we have a dive master who helps plan the dives, but not necessarily lead them....we got to do our own diving. Shark dive was cool. I hope to be back.

Look no further for your next liveaboard!
I’ve never been on a liveaboard before and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. The price seemed too good to be true for all that was promised in the description, and all of the reviews were glowing. But I was absolutely blown away by my week on Morning Star. (I’ve already booked my second trip!) The fact that our chef, Candela, was preparing food for 25 people in a 4x6 foot kitchen alone is impressive. It’s even more impressive that she did it at sea during fowl weather. But to top it off, her food was AMAZING! Better than any food I’ve had in any hotel or resort. The weather our week wasn’t the best, but you’d never know it due to the bright and cheerful personalities of all of the crew members! They made every rainy moment, every windy day on deck, feel like the best time to be alive. The deck hand, Michael, was especially good at keeping the vibes high. He could have the whole boat laughing their faces off with some of his stories. The first mate/captain for our week, Alex, had us all in awe with tales of his previous job as a “professional shark feeder.” It was so cool getting to hear so many different stories of how all the crew members found themselves at Blackbeard’s! Not only did the crew know how to keep guests entertained, they also were so down to earth and genuine about making connections with guests. I felt really lucky to have that experience, and to learn more about the people who make the trip so great. We only had 13 guests aboard our week, which made the whole experience feel all the more intimate and special. I was able to make so many connections with the other guests and the crew members. It was really cool actually seeing what all it takes to make the trip happen. Of course there’s the diving, but there’s also the preparation of the food, and keeping the boat clean, and the actual sailing of the boat. I knew nothing about sailing before the trip, but watching the crew do their thing, I was totally captivated. The crew was so talented and in their element, I felt so lucky to see them in action. The whole crew, including our captain, Tristan, was very accommodating to guest requests. A few of us guests mentioned that we’d like to try our hand at spearfishing, although we didn’t expect to get a chance since the days were short (December). But he made it happen for us on our last day, and while only the dive master, Josh, was able to spear some lionfish, we still had a blast and enjoyed some fresh ceviche! I really think back on my week aboard the Morning Star as one of the best experiences of my life. Blackbeard’s has definitely set the bar high, and I’m so excited to come back!!!

Brilliant diving: Very varied! From Deep Wall and Drift Dives to great night dives to the wreck of Pablo Escobar's plane.Stunning wildlife: The shark feeding was spectacular. In addition, countless reef sharks, turtles, rays and octopuses.Top crew & food: Super warm crew and extremely delicious food from chef Michael – the perfect refreshment after 4 dives a day.Great vibe: Great atmosphere on board, cool extras such as cliff jumps into the turquoise blue water and magical sunsets with after-work rum.An absolute recommendation for anyone looking for great diving, adventure and real Caribbean vibes!

I'll never forget this trip and will definitely go back!!!
Unforgettable and absolutely wonderful! Our boat crew was amazing - kind, caring and super fun people! Fantastic diving, and LOTS of it! Diving gear (rentals) - in great, if not excellent condition. Each dive was at a new location, with a couple of island/beach excursions. I LOVED how our dives/locations were planned out - with some surprising awesome experiences here and there (but won't spoil it here : ). Every room had air conditioner (so be ready for some non-stop chilly "breeze"). I would say these trips are perfect for passionate divers because it's all about . . . diving :D (!!!) with fun social times in between. I loved it all so much, that I am already looking into booking another one this summer!
