“The sharksfeeding dive was incredible.”
Highlights
Join the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the Blackbeard's Fleet, offers 3 dormitory-style cabin areas with 18 bunks and 3 shared bathrooms. Each cabin area has AC, and all are sectioned off with privacy curtains, similar to a sleeper cabin on a train. There is a choice of double or single bunks. Buffet meals with picnic-style dining are served in the air-conditioned salon, and all meals, snacks, and drinks, including beer, wine, and rum punch, are included during your stay.
Blackbeard's Sea Explorer trips include diving with sharks, exhilarating drift diving, beautiful walls, and blue holes around the Exuma Cays. There is no set itinerary aboard the Sea Explorer liveaboard; the captain and crew will take the boat where the conditions and weather are best. Plenty of non-diving activities are on offer, so your time above the water will be just as memorable as below.

Amazing trip with great dives, amazing food, and a crew that goes above and beyond
I just got back from the Morning Star, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we boarded until our departure, the crew took care of us exceptionally well. Most of the dives were unguided, but the dive briefings were detailed and extremely helpful, giving us everything we needed to confidently enjoy each site. The crew went above and beyond in every way. The facilities are basic but perfectly adequate, and everything was clean and well-maintained. We did have a little hiccup during the trip and had to return to port, but Captain Alex handled it professionally—giving us a clear download, setting expectations, and making sure we felt safe and cared for. The food on board was incredible, and the daily rum punch was a fun bonus! We even celebrated New Year’s Eve with bubbles, which made the experience even more memorable. Overall, this trip left me a super happy bubble maker with a happy belly—I couldn’t recommend it more!

Don't wait BOOK IT now!
This was the dive trip I've needed for a long time! Capt. Steven ran a tight ship and put us on the best dive sites available. The DM/instructors Ty and Kristen were friendly, knowledgeable, and took time to make sure you were comfortable in the water. Between dives, Chief Chris kept us fed with amazing meals and snacks from around the world. His meals were thoughtfully planned and he was able to accommodate everyone's dietary requirements without sacrificing flavor. Last but not least, our engineer Olivia kept every aspect of the floating city running in tip top shape. My fellow guests were from across the globe. Each was friendly and welcoming. The comradely we felt by the end of the trip worth ticket price alone. I can't wait to come back and experience the amazing diving, incredible crew hospitality, and friendly guests.

The Crew makes Blackbeard worth every second....
The Crew is what makes these trips. I cannot speak highly enough of those mentioned above. They work for little and deliver so very much with a smile on their faces.

First & Best Liveaboard Experience!
I never been on a liveaboard before and this just made my whole year! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable about the boat and dive sites, and kept us safe even when the wind picked up. We did miss a few dives due to weather, but that didn't take away from any experience - the crew provided us amazing services and there were many solo divers whom we all became friends with - the entire boat felt like one big happy family and it was an amazing experience overall!

Awesome, great-value on a budget dive trip. Highly recommended.
The divemaster was funny and gave the best briefings. Our cook was an alchemist in the little galley. The crew was awesome and the Captain was very competent and experienced.

- Crew was fantastic and created a positive, fun environment.. Food was plentiful and delicious.. Very reasonable policies towards diving, according to diver experience and proficiency levels, including allowing solo diving to those holding appropriate credentials and equipment..

Exploring underwater all day long and starring at the stars at night. I loved every minute!
Seeing the sharks was so incredible. I loved diving the blue hole. I feel really lucky I got to be part of such an amazing group! Every minute was an adventure!
