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.

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!

Great value for the money liveaboard with excellent crew, instructors, food and briefings
This was a great overall liveaboard experience. The crew was excellent, helpful, empathetic and very professional and they delivered some of the best briefings I ever had. The fact that they actvely tried to prepare you to be a better diver is an extra that I had never had before and will look for from now on. The food on the sea explorer was some of the best I had in Nassau. You'll see this in many reviews and trust me, it is a highlight. There's also downsides that you need to be ready for: the Sea Explorer is a 2-level sailboat so the "living" space is limited. We spent most of the trip on the top deck, the weather was fantastic, and sharing stories with the crew and rest of the divers. The cabins are shared and they are bunk beds. Also the "storage space" is extremely limited so be ready to limit the amount of clothes you'll pack (you'll be on vacation on a boat, you will not need so much :) ). The crew also organized some "side activities" to enjoy the Bahamas while strictly keeping the 4-dives-a-day schedule. Great value for the money.

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!

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.

Great crew, great diving, great time.
My time on Blackbeard’s Sea Explorer was amazing. The crew were all so fun to interact with, the food was amazing every time, and the conditions we had during the trip were perfect. I really enjoyed the way that we are left to navigate the dive sites ourselves with a buddy instead of having to follow a dive master. The shark feeding was the highlight, though it would have been nice to go to a couple more sites that are known for sharks too. I also really would have liked the option to dive with nitrox, as that was not available. Overall, I highly recommend this live aboard.
