Had the best time on board
This was such an amazing trip, it was our first liveaboard and we were a bit skeptical as the photos of the boat look a bit tired. But we had an amazing time, we felt truly taken care of. The food was the best, high quality, fresh and very delicious. The crew were very nice, helpful, and they seemed happy overall which is always a good sign of a well run business.

Liveaboarda dont get any better than Aqua Cat!
From the moment i stepped on Aqua Cat he captain and ctew maxe me feel welcome and valued. There were no issues of.any kind with the boat,.so you know.the engineering team was on top of the game. The dive team was organized,.knowledgeable and consistently helpful on the dive deck,.platform and in the water. Tours were well paced and they could see critters wherever they were hiding. With unlimited hotwater showers, we were.always clean! Aquacat is spacious,.captain Jerome has a team that works very well together. All liveaboards should operate like Aqua Cat!

Great diving, great crew, great time
The diving was really good, and the captain (James) moved us around all week to stay ahead of inclement weather so we had blue skies the whole time. The dive deck (Blakie, Stevie, Molly, Andy) were also amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and fun to be around. Also there was the opportunity to do 5 dives a day, including a night dive, which was amazing!

Best dive trip EVER!
This was one of the best experiences our family has ever had. The crew was amazingly friendly and knowledgeable. The boat was spotless, service was impeccable, food was over the top and the diving was great. Really cannot complain about anything. 4-5 dives a day offered, the BEST divemasters that took great care of everyone. Had tons of knowledge of all the dive spots. The meals were gourmet. We had a fun international group of divers that have become friends, sharing a common passion of diving. Well worth every penny spent. Would highly recommend the Aquacat if you're looking for a diving adventure like none other!

Luxury liveaboard diving
In the lull following the winter holidays, with the added effects of the U.S. partial govt shutdown, there were only 17 guests on-board a boat that accommodates 29. So there was lots of extra space to spread out on the dive deck, and I had a solo cabin. I've been on the Aquacat before when it was fully booked, and it was just fine, but going during a slack period is even better if you can manage it. The captain did a great job of selecting dives sites where current and other conditions were excellent. A second shark feed-- staged on the Austin Smith wreck-- was particularly enjoyable. The cabins, public spaces, dive deck, and equipment were all in great condition. Food, as always, was superb, and the chef did an outstanding job of catering to special dietary restrictions. Camera working and charging facilities on the dive deck were very good. One of the joys of liveaboard travel is getting to know interesting folks from around the world, and this trip did not disappoint. There were people from Sweden, Switzerland, Australia, Peru, Canada, and U.S., including a best-selling author and a student of marine biology who teaches juggling and tightrope-walking at circus camp.

Incredible trip on Aqua Cat with a fantastic crew!
Spotted eels and loggerhead turtles were definitely some of the aquatic highlights. The Captain did a great job getting us to a variety of dive sites working around some challenging weather. This was my second trip to Exumas and my wife’s first liveaboard dive trip. There was plenty of new stuff for me to see, and the crew was phenomenal in making sure she was comfortable and ready for all the dives.
