Highlights
Join the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer to dive into the crystal-clear waters of the Bahamas. Perfect for single travelers on a budget, the All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer, the identical twin sister of All Star Blackbeard's Morning Star, a member of the All Star Liveaboards 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.
All Star 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 All Star Blackbeard's Sea Explorer; 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.

You'll never regret booking this trip and I can't wait for my next adventure with this crew!
This was my first live aboard and I was not exactly sure to expect. But Captain Alex and the rest of the crew put me at easy from the time we boarded the Morning Star. Captain Alex fully explained every leg of the journey and I felt completely safe the entire way, even over the rough sea crossings. My goal was to burn some calories with four dives a day, but Garett foiled that plan by supplying 3 awesome meals and great snacks, that I couldn't resist, each day! We all looked forward to the next marvelous selection and were perplexed at the magic Garett created in such a small kitchen space! Candela was the perfect Dive Master and she prepped and executed 27 dives for 19 divers flawlessly. All while teaching Advanced Open Water and Deep Dive Specialty (which I took during the week) at the same time. Each dive was like a new experience, even when we re-visited a location, and I knew what to look for beforehand which made the dive that much more enjoyable. I most enjoyed the shark feeding dive and the drift dive (which we need more than one next time!!) the most. Both were my first experiences with each and I felt safe, knowable about what to do, and maximized the moment for me. Martyna was a great dive guide and first mate, who pointed out a lot of sea life that I would have missed had she not pointed these amazing (and small) creatures to me on dives. Josh kept the Morning Star in tip top shape and we never experienced an issue, so that make him one helluva engineer. We had an eclectic group of divers, but we all blended so well and had a great time together. Every one was helpful, willing to serve as a dive buddy, watched out for each other on dives, had a great time socializing throughout the trip and REALLY took advantage of our last night out on the island when we docked. I would highly recommend booking with Blackbeards, who made the booking easy, follow-ups leading up to my arrival to keep me informed, transportation needs to.from airport/hotel, and was a real value for the money considering everything to received for an entire week! Needless to say that I'm now hooked and will seek to do a live aboard annually! However, it's going to be hard for the next crew to top the experience of this past trip on the Morning Star!

Despite illness, it was a complete success.
Despite illness, I was fully cared for and I didn't miss anything. The crew was very concerned and kept inquiring.But I had a nice cruise with good conversations and great scenery.

Great Week
We just got back from a great week on Sea Explorer in Feb 2024. For the price, it really was a fantastic experience, and other than the accommodations, you don’t really miss out on anything the more expensive liveaboards offer. Rental gear was in good condition, we dove the same sites, food was fantastic and plentiful. The diving was good, though the water was chilly. If you go in Feb, make sure you pack a warm wetsuit and hood/gloves/warm socks. We liked that we got a good variety of types of dives - sunny/shallow reefs, wrecks, walls, drifts, blue hole, night. The crew were truly incredible. Captain Jenn was amazing! She kept us safe and selected dive sites that were suited to the weather/water conditions. She also asked all of us at the start of the trip if we had any “must-dos” and was able to accommodate all of them. The rest of the crew (Ty, Andrew, Mike, Barry, Stacey) worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed to have a great trip. Thanks to all of you!
