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

Please Note: Morning Star and Sea Explorer are identical twin sisters and may be used interchangeably. Whilst we can take requests for specific bunks, they are not guaranteed, and the rate is per person, not per bunk.

Time of my life, I will be returning. Thank you Cpt. Chris!!
The crew were phenomenal at their jobs above and below the water (Annie's smile lights up the room and shes so knowledgeable, Barry is so kind and a great dive instructor, Carson's laugh was contagious, Eli is filled with such positive energy and always willing to help out, Gunnar toiled away tirelessly in the gally making unbelievably delicous food every day, and Cpt. Chris is a salty dog with a heart of gold who made us all feel at ease). All of the crew were very approachable and they all tell great stories, the food was spectacular (thank you Gunnar), the music was on point setting the mood at every time of day, the epic dive sites were well chosen and incredibly fun and easy to dive, the accommodation are close to what you'd expect from a hostle but way better (bunk beds, small/medium size shared dining room/kitchen/lounge inside, open deck for socializing and music and relaxation, delicious rum punch nightly and even a beer tap and wine options), the cleanliness was immaculate and the ship was well maintained. Did I mention that all inside rooms have air conditioning?

Great crew, Great Dive, Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My overall experience was an incredible one. The crew was extremely professional and were very adept at handling a couple "experienced" divers that kept chiming in and trying to question or correct what the crew said and did. The crew is obviously extremely competent with their roles and did an amazing job communicating with each other and with the passengers.

This was a perfect diving vacation for our family of 5!
Hoppy and the crew made our week absolutely amazing! We traveled with a family of 5 (2 parents, 18 year old, 16 year old, and 13 year old). Everyone of us are certified divers, except the 16 year old and she has no interest. But she had a great time snorkeling all week and the crew even went out 1:1 with her to make sure we all had fun. Barry was a great cook and we had heaps of good food all week. He even accommodated one of us being lactose intolerant. The accommodations were not luxurious, but we didn't expect them to be. The beds were sufficient and comfortable and the a/c worked. Bathrooms were fine and the single shower is as advertised. No one took a shower every night and most only had one shower that week.

Summer camp for adults
I was nervous going on this trip as a 48 yr old solo female, not knowing anyone. But it was great, there was a range of ages all interested in diving. Tyrone was a great instructor for my deep specialty. Morgan could steer the sailboat through anything. What Gunner could turn out of that tiny galley was fantastic, we ate well. Mike kept everything running and always ready to help. Sheena was very happy and helpful. I dove with sharks and rays. Fed the pigs and stingrays, walked on beautiful beaches. Caught a fish and watched the sails go up. It was a great trip.

Best liveaboard hands down
The crew were all quite knowledgeable about the dive sites from a dive POV, Species POV, and conservation POV. There was so much marine life and I cannot wait to go back!

First & Best Liveaboard Experience!
I never been on a liveaboard before and this just made my whole year! The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable about the boat and dive sites, and kept us safe even when the wind picked up. We did miss a few dives due to weather, but that didn't take away from any experience - the crew provided us amazing services and there were many solo divers whom we all became friends with - the entire boat felt like one big happy family and it was an amazing experience overall!
