Best Liveaboard out of 4 to date
The visibility in the Coral sea was 30m+ with abundance sealife. Shark feed involved 30-40 sharks 6 inches in front your face

Spoilsport Spoiled Us
What a trip. Always dreamed of a live board. This did not disappoint. 4 days on the Spoilsport was a dream. Flew out to Lizard Island to meet the boat. Went to the Cod Hole. Dove there and was met by a reef shark and some amazing coral and fishes. Surreal. The crew was amazing. Helpful. Always courteous. The food was always hot and tasty. Will go again if we make it back to Australia.

Can't wait to come back for another trip
Outstanding diving paired with a very friendly and cool crew. I very much enjoyed the diving as buddy pairs without guide. I would rate the diving on the outer reef sites slightly higher than on the ribbon reefs but both are very good. Another positive little detail is that dinner is served after the night dive so one can enjoy the outstanding food. The chef deserves an award for her cooking!

Rentals and food allergies
Staff was very friendly cabins were clean and food was pretty good. I would recommend this boat for many many reasons and absolutely book with them again. With that, I would like to point out a few things that I think did not quite match the price point. 1. Food allergies were absolutely adhered to but there were a few times when I was left out of the between dives snacks due to no other option being prepared. I'm pretty used to that so I probably would have brought a few snacks with me to make sure if that happened it didn't happen again. At this price I did expect at least an alternative but will plan accordingly in the future. The menu is super carb heavy as well which if you're not used to can be an issue as there wasn't much of an alternative for that. 2. The dive brief was pretty hard to hear. The speaker would start out loud then finish his sentences dropping his volume. That being said, I'm pretty deaf and getting closer did help that issue some. Just be aware and add that into your special request packet if you have any issues hearing. Again, not a massive deal if you're properly prepared though I do think it would be beneficial for the lead to be made aware if he isn't already. 3. The rental fins were absolute trash and there's absolutely no way I'd ever use them for anything with a current. Probably should have looked into that a little bit more before assuming they had decent fins so I'm really just adding that so if you're on the fence about bringing your own fins you will. I will never ever make that mistake again. 4. The absolute only full on complaint I have is that the door to my in suite bathroom rattled so loudly I had to sleep with the door open and a washcloth stuck in between the frame and door. When the entire boat was being tossed around it was an added inconvenience. So really not the biggest problem in the world just more of an annoyance. All in all I was extremely happy and would sign right back up for a different trip on the spoilsport way before I'd switch companies for the area.

Superb trip to Coral Sea and barrier reef.
We had an excellent trip onboard Spoilsport, Kieran and crew were all very helpfully and the food was the best we've had on a Liveaboard. Dive sites chosen were all great and the fact that we were the only dive boat on the sites made it even better.
