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!

What a fantastic experience!
The diving was great. There were so many different types of dives to experience; shallow, deep, walls, drift, holes, wreck, and of course the shark feeding dive. There were plenty of fish and other wildlife to see. I had a chance to try spearfishing for the first time. It was great to meet people from many different places and backgrounds.

My favorite vacation I have taken so far.
I felt as though through the numerous dives that I became more skilled. I had never night dived before and it was very beautiful. Everyone is very kind and generous to help me with anything I needed. Adjustments were made for my dietary needs and every day was honestly amazing.

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!!

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.

Fun dives, great crew, excellent value for money
I had a great experience diving the Exumas and Nassau onboard the Morning Star The dives had good variety, the crew was top-notch and the food they cooked up even better, and I really loved being able to deconnect for a week and to enjoy our time on and in the water with a great bunch of people. Warmly recommended!

My first liveaboard, no-frills wonderful!
Our crew was amazing! They worked very hard through difficult weather and high seas to keep us safe and to give us the best time ever. They planned daily to find us the best sites with the calmest water and we still managed 18 dives. Special kudos to Sophia who prepared 3 delicious, hot meals a day despite being bounced around in the tiny galley. Ian, Gordon, Kelton, Annie and Sophia-Rita thank you for everything you did! It was an amazing trip.

Diving the Bahamas on a pirate boat
Shark feed was spectacular! The small space available on the vessel makes conversation easier with other divers. I liked how the captain proposed different activities that were voted democratically among divers (bonfire, pig island...)
