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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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!!!

Great value for money
The standout experience was definitely the shark dive with 20 to 30 reef sharks - an unforgettable moment! Although the living quarters were cozy, it added to the experience as it encouraged everyone to chat on deck - great value for money and I’d recommend for solo travellers. Additionally, the food and crew were exceptional all week.

Great trip made better by the amazing crew
We had a rough week with the unknown trajectory of hurricane Milton. Captain Sophie did a great job reworking plans to make sure we were able to get in as many dives as possible. Tom and Barry were very nice and a wealth of knowledge. Eli was a great personality for the boat and really did an amazing job answering our many questions. My 12 yr old got his 100th dive on this trip and the crew really appreciated and help him celebrate that milestone. Captain Chris was really great working with all of us but was a steady presence and his experience and personality really helped everyone stay calm with the unknowns of the weather.

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!
