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.

But in particular, you can check the reviews of the liveaboard you choose in the 40% deal list.

Really fantastic – a once in a lifetime trip! Really, really good. The itinerary was wonderful and the crew adaptable enough that if one place didn’t suit, they would make alternative plans. The diving was totally spectacular and tailored to our requirements and shore visits an option and very good. The crew were professional, couldn’t do enough for us and were so nice (and with a good sense of humour!). The ship was fabulous and in immaculate condition (we were given an upgraded cabin which was very nice indeed, but the other cabins looked good too). Thoroughly recommended.Recommended for: The diving, where we went and the boat.

Very enjoyable trip. Sharks and mantas.” Recommended for: Cabin, Diving, Crew.

Review: MV Black Pearl; Book: MV Black Pearl 9.4 Superb from £209; $255; €238

very nice tripAll of the boat staff and dive guides were excellent – we couldn’t have asked for better. we stayed in an upper deck room. i thought it could have used a little updating. we booked the brother islands tour, but i personally think 3 days at brothers is way too long especially since it was so crowded with other liveaboards (we counted 16 including us at big brother). i would have like to see other dive sites rather than so many repeat ones. the food was good – there were several excellent meals such as the bbq and turkey dinner. i would have liked to see a couple more healthier options from time to time. all in all, we enjoyed this trip. being Egypt is so reasonably priced, we surely got our money’s worth on this adventure. thank you to all the staff for making this a memorable experience.” Recommended for: staf & service.

Review: MY Seawolf Dominator; Book: MY Seawolf Dominator 9.4 Superb from £96; $117; €109

Unbelievable, incredible dive sites, experienced operator. The quality of the reef in the remote parts of Raja is amazing. Some of the best diving I’ve done. Dive team is on point, they know the sites well and you’ll get the most from each dive. Divers are appropriately grouped together on experience. Boat team only add to this, service is high standard, small touches like warm drinks after the nightdive, midday homemade cakes are well thought out. NB. South Missool, Raja Ampat trip. Impeccable reef, large pools of fish, good macro. Less large pelagic animals.” Recommended for: Huge biodiversity, great dive guide, perfect service from the crew.

Review: MSY Aurora; Book: MSY Aurora 9.4 Superb from £252; $318; €292

Awesome trip in the best liveaboard I’ve been. One day at Darwin, while being surrounded of hammerheads and galapagos sharks as usual, a group of silky sharks decided to surround us feeling curious, we were so excited to have such an experience, when a massive Whale Shark appeared from the deep blowing our minds. Believe what they tell you about the Galapagos, and if you go with this really big and comfortable boat full of details with a crew that enjoys their job, you will be in the perfect hands. (I’ve been in 3 other liveaboards around the world, so I can compare, this one was the best). Recommended for: Sharks, staff and food.

Review: MV Calipso; Book: MV Calipso 9.4 Superb from £475; $608; €556

First liveaboard…definitely won’t be the last! Without a doubt, the diving experiences were the best ever! Night dives with manta rays and nurse sharks…. and so much underwater life in general! Our dive guides worked hard to get us to see as much as possible and the crew were always friendly and helpful. On board was great too. Relaxing in the tub or on the loungers between dives was a treat, as were the super comfy sofas! The food was excellent – such a great spread every meal time! Thoroughly enjoyed the week. Very sad that it’s now over!Recommended for: Friendly crew and dive guides, food, chill out areas.

Review: MV Blue Force One; Book: MV Blue Force One 9.4 Superb from £203; $260; €238

Always beyond our best expectations. In our trip in Sachika boat, everything went perfect but the weather. Giacomo and the dive masters were the best: kind, helpful, and very professional. They take care of every small problem with a smile, making us feel at home from the first day The ship is in peak condition, so clean, and taken care off that it looks new. Much better than pictures, where usually is the contrary. Cabin was big and clean, with plenty space and an comfortable individual bathroom, also carefully cleaned. And food, food was amazing. Every meal was a buffet with plenty of choices, although since all were delicious, you usually end up eating much more than anticipated. Overall, when I come back to Maldives, I’ll definitely will be back with Giacomo and his crew. Thank you very much for the best diving week of our lives.Recommended for: Divemasters, cabin, Food.
