Best 40% last minute liveaboard deals

I’ve collated for you a list of the best 40% liveaboard deals you’ll find online. But for you to avoid disappointment, you’ll need to grab the deal you want fast and book your liveaboard trip quickly, before someone gets there before you.

My experiences shows that 40% liveaboard deals are not as common as the other discounts available, which means they won’t hang around for long. So, because of this you will need to be quick to get one of these very cheap last minute deals for your liveaboard of choice.

Also check our page with liveaboard with 20% discount, 25% discounts, 30% discount and 50% discounts too.

Also, bookmark this page, as we will keep these 40% deals updated all the time.

If you’re diving on a budget, a 40% discount will go a long——–long way to saving you money. Which means your diving money goes further. But if you’re like me, and you may not necessarily be on a budget, don’t you love big savings in any case?

In fact I’ve just saved another £800 off my next trip to Barbados, where of course I will go diving with my friend Phil at Reef and Wreckers. I hope you love to save money as much as I do, because if you do, this page makes it easy for you to find the best 40% savings for your next liveaboard dive trip.

Also, if you’ve not dived on a liveaboard before, meaning this would be your first liveaboard trip, you can save money at the same time. A slightly cheaper way of dipping your toe in the water…no pun intended.

These last minute liveaboard deals are sorted in descending Deal Date” order, where the 40% deals with the furthest “Deal Date” are at the top of the list. If you would prefer to re-sort the table into last minute offers in ascending order select “Ascending” and press “Sort“.*

Very pleasantly surprised. We had very pleasant experience during the trip. Can’t think of any thing to complain. Great team and service, highly recommend Dolce Vita. Best regard to the dive masters Jen and Mahmoud. We always felt safe and entertained during dives.” Recommended for: Dive guides, crew, food.

Amazing Trip! Our experience on the Golden Dolphin was outstanding, from start to finish. The organisation of the team is excellent which made the transfer from the airport efficient and easy, the staff were really friendly and happy to help out with anything you need. The food was first class! Three large meals a day with different choices of food, fish, meat, salad and veg. The team also provided snacks and fresh fruit in-between meals so you will not go hungry on this boat. The dive guides were very helpful in and out of the water and good fun too. They chose a really good route which maxed out the best diving each day. On the boat the cabins, lounge and sun decks were kept clean and tidy. This is a fantastic boat with a team that really cares so would recommend to anyone looking to dive the red sea – we will be back.Recommended for: The food, the service and the diving.

Spectacular Diving with a Boat and Crew to MatchDiving in Raja Ampat was just awesome. Manta Rays are astounding. Good dive guides, great facilities. Camera Room is best I have ever experienced – I have dove all over the world, over a 1000 dives, this Camera room is like one someone would have on land versus on a boat. Rooms great, temperature control was amazing. Showers on the back of the boat – all 5 – what a pleasure. Oh – and I was worried about USA style power receptacles – the place is littered with them, European, US, very nice.

Camera room had huge amount of Power strips to accommodate everyone. I have a big setup that has lots of things that need charging (Nikon D3X, Subal, Sea and Sea Strobes, Light and Motion Floods) and Laptop too. All fit great!! Rinse tanks too, and compressed air for drying! Travel to and from airport was easy and well organized. No waiting, just helpful folks moving luggage and people in A/C comfort.

First class. Also – I love non-sugared Iced Tea on trips like these, I brought black tea bags and they had a pitcher of Iced Tea in the dining area for the whole 10 days we shared with everyone (it was popular). Very accomodating and nice staff.” Recommended for: 1, Boat Comfort and Facilities, Raja Ampat, Great food.

Review: MV Blue Manta; Book: MV Blue Manta 9.5 Exceptional from £290; $365; €336

Most abundant marine life on most luxurious boat I have experienced. Unbelievable abundance and diversity of marine life. Boat was by far the most comfortable I have been on. Service was excellent, both while diving and on board. Expensive but you get what you pay for.” Recommended for: Marine life, boat comfort, crew service level.

Review: MSY Damai I; Book: MSY Damai I 9.5 Exceptional from £325; $397; €371

LIVEABOARD NIRVANAThe Blue Magic dives with all the Giant Mantas flying around us was a magical experience and the Night dives at Tapokreng Jetty ,and Cendana Fuel Dock the latter was one of the single best dives of my life in which we saw a coconut octopus in a coconut ,a ornate ghost pipe fish ,a flamboyant cuttlefish ,box crab, a dozen translucent squid, and the topper a beautiful deadly blue ring octopus.

All this coupled with A great Captain two fantastic Cruise directors,Jerry and Debbie and the incredible Irland and Jen Dive guides made the trip very efficient and enjoyable. This was a long 11 day charter to the south and the north of Raja Ampat filled with an incredible diversity of dive sites 34 dives in all and above ground skiff trips .They even arranged for me to go a special island and view the local the Bird of Paradise. I can recommend the Coralia and the crew at the highest level ,they will be doing trips to Komodo soon and we will be back onboard for that.” Recommended for: The quality and beauty of the ship , the outstanding photography room ,and the impeccable food combined with outstanding friendly service made this trip fantastic.

Review: Coralia; Book: Coralia 9.5 Exceptional from £298; $364; €340

Look no further book this one. The boat is very luxurious just what you require after three spectacular dives a day. The food is plentiful, varied and delicious. The accommodation is very comfortable and spotless. The diving guides are very calm, knowledgeable and helpful. The dive sites are varied with lots of sea life great for spotting sharks.The added bonus is the spa and yoga. The attention to detail from staff and facilities on this liverboard is remarkable. Thanks Scubaspa for a wonderful experience!Recommended for: Crew, attention to detail, food, diving and boat.

Review: MV Scubaspa Yin; Book: MV Scubaspa Yin 9.5 Superb from £230; $294; €269

Exceeded my expectations, great liveaboard! Was on the central maledives cruise starting December 4th 2023 and it was an absolute blast! The boat is in great condition and very spacious. Food was superb – Buffet for breakfast and lunch, set menu for dinner. The crew catered for all special diets like vegan food perfectly. The dives were phenomenal. Channel and thila dives with dozens of grey sharks, eagle ray, manta rays, whaleshark, turtles, octopus, so nothing else to wish for. You should consider that there are many dives at 30m with very strong currents, and with four instructors for 20-30 guests, you should be comfortable to dive alone with your buddy in challenging conditions. The guests and instructors were mostly French natives. But Lucila, one of the instructors, mostly took care of the six international guests. She did an amazing job to make sure that all info and briefings were provided in English and that we had a great time under water and on board. Thanks Lucila and the whole team for such a great experience! Recommended for: Sharks and Mantas, Variety in dive sites, engagement of instructors.
