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.

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!

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.

It is my first time live-aboard diving trip, and I enjoyed it very much!
There were so many different types of dives to experience; shallow, deep, walls, drift, holes, wreck, and of course the shark feeding dive. And the best part is to have warm nice DELICIOUS meals after diving.

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.

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.

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

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!!!

Unforgettable
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. Super suitable to travel alone.

This was my first liveaboard trip and I was already discussing plans for a second before we even ended the first.
Although not a super fancy boat, the crew treat you as if this were a high end trip, they really take care of everything for you from the minute you're dropped off at the harbor club till you leave on a taxi.
