Great boat trip for mixing diving and island hoping
The boat is a bit small but enough for the 12 people that can be there. The crew is fantastic and the food was amazing. If the weather is good enough, you can five and visit the different islands (short walks in the beaches) so for me, that was a plus The water and the islands in Bahamas are just incredible, though there is not too much life...in any case, we could see several reef sharks, stingrays and turtles...so good enough for me

Great boat, great crew, great holiday.
We had a genuinely fantastic trip on this liveaboard and, overall, it offered great value for money. The boat itself isn’t trying to be luxury or high-end – and that’s exactly why it works so well. It delivers everything you need, and it does it brilliantly. The cabins were comfortable and while they aren’t en-suite this was never a problem - the shared showers and heads were always clean, there was always hot water and they were regularly checked. The entire boat was consistently spotless and very well organised throughout the trip. What really stood out for us was the crew. Every single member of the team was professional, friendly, and clearly took pride in what they were doing. The operation ran smoothly from start to finish. The food was excellent, and the drinks offering – especially given that it was included – was fantastic. The dive guide was superb – knowledgeable, organised, and clearly passionate about what she does. The diving itself wasn't as good as we'd hoped it might be (hence the 3 star rating) but this was down to environmental conditions and weather, not the crew or the boat. Plus, we hadn't dived for 6 years so this was a nice re-introduction to the sport and meant that we were able to pick and choose which dives we did. Overall, we had an amazing trip. The captain, dive guide, cook, chief engineer and cabin crew all contributed to a really enjoyable experience - our thanks to them for making this a really fabulous trip.

Fantastic crew & diving, ok boat :)
Sharks, gorgeous walls, beautiful coral gardens, super friendly crew.

- You’ll love the diving, the sites are beautiful, with pristine coral gardens, walls and plenty of marine life. The crew is also fantastic and takes really great care of you. With that in mind, the boat cabins, while comfortable, were very noisy simply due to the architecture of the boat, and even with earplugs, it’s tough to sleep well most nights.

Fantastic
Obviously the diving. I particularly enjoyed the shark dive, though there were several sharks on some of the other dive sites. Very friendly sharks.

Family-friendly, flexible and professional!
The highlights were definitely that the crew of the Cat Ppalu was an all-girls crew. The quartet had everything under control and made the week the best ever!Dives on beautiful and colorful reefs with lots of fish and reef sharks and rays again and again. The excellent gourmet food and the fun company rounded this off perfectly.

Great trip to a fantastic place aboard a very friendly and intimate boat!
This was our first live aboard and the Cat Ppalu was a great introduction to this type of travel. The exams are a fantastic destination for a broad variety of sea life and underwater topography. The crew was awesome and Bill the captain couldn't have been a better leader and host!

Amazing crew and great boat!
Our trip on the Cat Ppalu was great! The crew went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. They even changed the route and showed us incredible dive sites at Eleuthera to get better visibility since it was raining the days before we started the trip. They really care about you and that you feel comfortable on the boat. The boat itself is great, too. They have hot showers, wifi and areas to enjoy the sun while cruising. I think it is very convenient that you have your own sink in your cabin.

Martyna keeping the A/C and the boat working. Chelle guiding our dives and pointing out things we missed. Couldn't have asked for a better trip.

Great first liveaboard
This was our first liveaboard and it was a great experience the staff were really awemsone and fun, the food was too good. The dives were ok, lots of dead reefs, but some cool wrecks and dramatic landscape made up for it.
