First time on board, kicked off a new passion.
In a word diving with blackbeards was AMAZING. The food was delicious, the crew beyond friendly, and the dive instruction top notch. I got my advanced open water while I was onboard and I am excited to continue my diving journey. I am already planning my next trip through them to do it again.

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!

What a fantastic experience!
The diving was great. There were so many different types of dives to experience; shallow, deep, walls, drift, holes, wreck, and of course the shark feeding dive. There were plenty of fish and other wildlife to see. I had a chance to try spearfishing for the first time. It was great to meet people from many different places and backgrounds.

Camping at sea
The first time on a sailing liveaboard boat. Space is quite limited but diving is still very good. Most of the dives are shallow, ideal for beginners. Dives can be a bit repetitive, deep dives worth but they are few in the week. Considering the price it is worth.

This was my first liveaboard trip and I was already discussing plans for a second before we even ended the first.
Although not a super fancy boat, the crew treat you as if this were a high end trip, they really take care of everything for you from the minute you're dropped off at the harbor club till you leave on a taxi.

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!!!

My first liveaboard, no-frills wonderful!
Our crew was amazing! They worked very hard through difficult weather and high seas to keep us safe and to give us the best time ever. They planned daily to find us the best sites with the calmest water and we still managed 18 dives. Special kudos to Sophia who prepared 3 delicious, hot meals a day despite being bounced around in the tiny galley. Ian, Gordon, Kelton, Annie and Sophia-Rita thank you for everything you did! It was an amazing trip.
