“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.

Please Note: Morning Star and Sea Explorer are identical twin sisters and may be used interchangeably. Whilst we can take requests for specific bunks, they are not guaranteed, and the rate is per person, not per bunk.
This boat is part of the All Star Liveaboards fleet.

Go on this trip
Absolutely the best value for your money on a diving trip I’ve ever experienced. I think we also got very lucky with our cook Gunnar, an incredible cook. Felt like better than restaurant quality dining

Good value
The crew was extremely accommodating but the age of the vessel was apparent. The compressor broke down which caused a delay in diving and then the driveshaft broke causing us to miss out on the planned drift dive to the Washing machine and Blue hole as we limped back to Nassau.

The diving, food and people were all amazing! I would recommend Blackbeards to anyone.
It was my first time on a liveaboard and I loved it! The staff and other passengers were great, and the shark diving was absolutely incredible. The blue hole was the coolest dive site I’ve ever done.

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.

Time of my life, I will be returning. Thank you Cpt. Chris!!
The crew were phenomenal at their jobs above and below the water (Annie's smile lights up the room and shes so knowledgeable, Barry is so kind and a great dive instructor, Carson's laugh was contagious, Eli is filled with such positive energy and always willing to help out, Gunnar toiled away tirelessly in the gally making unbelievably delicous food every day, and Cpt. Chris is a salty dog with a heart of gold who made us all feel at ease). All of the crew were very approachable and they all tell great stories, the food was spectacular (thank you Gunnar), the music was on point setting the mood at every time of day, the epic dive sites were well chosen and incredibly fun and easy to dive, the accommodation are close to what you'd expect from a hostle but way better (bunk beds, small/medium size shared dining room/kitchen/lounge inside, open deck for socializing and music and relaxation, delicious rum punch nightly and even a beer tap and wine options), the cleanliness was immaculate and the ship was well maintained. Did I mention that all inside rooms have air conditioning?

Great crew, Great Dive, Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My overall experience was an incredible one. The crew was extremely professional and were very adept at handling a couple "experienced" divers that kept chiming in and trying to question or correct what the crew said and did. The crew is obviously extremely competent with their roles and did an amazing job communicating with each other and with the passengers.

This was a perfect diving vacation for our family of 5!
Hoppy and the crew made our week absolutely amazing! We traveled with a family of 5 (2 parents, 18 year old, 16 year old, and 13 year old). Everyone of us are certified divers, except the 16 year old and she has no interest. But she had a great time snorkeling all week and the crew even went out 1:1 with her to make sure we all had fun. Barry was a great cook and we had heaps of good food all week. He even accommodated one of us being lactose intolerant. The accommodations were not luxurious, but we didn't expect them to be. The beds were sufficient and comfortable and the a/c worked. Bathrooms were fine and the single shower is as advertised. No one took a shower every night and most only had one shower that week.
