Fantastic trip with the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer
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!

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!

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!

Everything was a highlight. The crew was always professional, helpful and incredibly friendly. The group on board was great and just plain fun. The dives were all beautiful. The food was delicious and more than adequate. The views you get from the boat feel like pure vacation. As soon as you enter the boat, you already feel relaxed and on holiday.

Incredible Experience
We hit the full 19 dives throughout the week. The shark feed was amazing. The crew was constantly going above and beyond to make us comfortable and keep the good times rolling. The dives are unguided, but that made it an even better for learning for someone with little experience, as I only had 5 dives prior to the trip. An absolutely amazing experience for a single traveler like myself, and I will absolutely be returning.

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.

Recommend to all
Great experience overall, would recommend to all. People onboard were all welcoming as an solo diver. We had an mix of ages and groups including children learning to dive for the first time. Food was amazing all week and the dive briefs were great. The diving itself is easy with only an couple of deep dives and no current. Would recommend for new divers or open water divers wanting to build their confidence on unguided dives.

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!!!

Excelent way to dive the Exumas
Very simple check in procedure, all the dives were planned to be adaptedvto the weather conditions. The bunks were confortable enough. Be aware that in all bunks the AC is on 24/7 so you might take a jaket or a cap.

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.

An incredible dive trip at a great value
I just got back from my Blackbeard’s trip and I’m already trying to figure out when I can return. It’s an amazing ship with a passionate and knowledgeable crew. The other guests were excellent and it was easy to find a dive buddy for every dive. There were a lot of other solo travelers on my trip which was great to find as a fellow solo traveler. The food was outstanding! Ariel and Manuel did an excellent job preparing it. The dive sites were carefully planned by Chris and I was able to see sharks, turtles, stingrays, barracuda, eels, crabs, and so much more. The quarters are small but I found that that added to the charm of the trip and made all the guests get closer. Would highly recommend this trip to any diver! You’ll have lots of fun
