Bahamas Master dive boat review

Bahamas · Boat guide · Reviewed 5 October 2026

An archived profile with booking status to confirm

Bahamas Master joined the Bahamas dive scene after a 2017 renovation. The original review describes a 35-metre vessel with space to relax between reef, wreck and shark dives. Those historical features should be checked against any current charter offer.

Booking status. As of 5 October 2026, a current operator-confirmed Bahamas departure and price could not be verified. This is not evidence that the vessel has retired. Keep this profile as a reference and confirm the operator, vessel identity and actual sailing before booking.

This is a researched editorial update, not a new onboard inspection. Original review details and guest comments are retained where useful; older comments and photographs should be read in their historical context. Divezone may earn a commission from affiliate bookings.

Accommodation and ratings. Historical mixed en-suite/shared-bathroom layout; neither its old cost category nor its former capacity verifies a current offer. The editorial score and cost label inherited from the original review are separate from visitor votes. Their scoring date and detailed criteria are not documented here; they are not a new 2026 inspection or safety rating. Guest votes and dated comments remain unchanged.

Cabins: choose the arrangement that suits you

Option Arrangement Price or detail
Original published plan Eight cabins / 16 guests Historical specification
Bathroom options Four en-suite cabins and four using shared facilities in our original review Confirm against current plan

The original eight-cabin description offered both en-suite and shared-bathroom choices. Photographs and the deck plan below are preserved from that review and may not reflect later changes.

Ask for the exact cabin number, bed arrangement and bathroom access. For a solo booking, confirm whether the fare buys a shared berth or sole use, and how any supplement is calculated.

What to budget

No verified current fare. Older prices and dated listings are not used as a 2026 booking quote. Require the full price, dates, currency, occupancy and mandatory charges in writing.

Current inclusions remain unconfirmed. Check taxes, port charges, fuel surcharges, gas, equipment, transfers, meals, insurance and gratuities in the actual contract.

Compare the same dates, duration and occupancy. A lower advertised daily rate can conceal a different trip length or cabin; the full written quote is the useful number.

Itinerary and diving experience

Past Bahamas programmes combined shark, reef and wreck diving. Do not assume any old Tiger Beach or other itinerary is running now. The vessel name alone is insufficient to confirm the route.

Before you commit

Minimum certification, logged dives, Nitrox and insurance requirements depend on the actual operator and itinerary. Have the operator assess your experience before accepting a berth.

Ask about emergency oxygen, evacuation arrangements and dive-accident cover. Keep within your training and the crew’s instructions, maintain buoyancy around reefs, and never chase or touch wildlife. No boat can promise a particular animal encounter.

Getting to the boat

The departure port, airport and transfer plan must come from a current booking document. Avoid non-refundable flights until the sailing and vessel identity are confirmed.

See our Bahamas diving guide for sites and seasons and Bahamas travel guide for trip planning. Leave an appropriate interval between your last dive and flight; follow your operator, computer and DAN’s flying-after-diving guidance.

Get a feel for the experience

No independently verified current boat video was available at this review. The photographs below are archival.

How does it compare?

If you need a currently marketed Nassau programme, start with Aqua Cat for en-suite cabins or Sea Explorer for shared bunks. For a specific shark expedition, use the Bahamas comparison to choose a named route. These alternatives do not establish Bahamas Master’s current operating status.

Before you book

Can I book Bahamas Master from this historical profile?

A current operator-confirmed future sailing and price have not been established for this update. Obtain those before paying or buying flights.

Does unconfirmed availability mean the boat retired?

No. Missing availability is not proof of retirement. The uncertainty concerns the current operator, vessel and departure evidence.

Are all eight cabins described as en-suite?

No. The original review describes four en-suite cabins and four using shared facilities. That historical plan needs checking against any new offer.

Can I rely on the old Tiger Beach itinerary?

No. Ask for a dated itinerary and joining instructions for the actual departure. The boat name alone does not verify a route.

Which current alternatives should I investigate?

Aqua Cat and Blackbeard’s publish Nassau programmes with different comfort and budget levels. For Tiger Beach, choose an explicitly named shark itinerary instead.

One Liveaboard feedback for “Bahamas Master”

  1. Avoid. Did what was supposed to be 5 day trip to Tiger beach but were involved in a collision on the third night. Not necessarily their fault but the company quibbled about paying for a hotel for the remaining nights we were supposed to be on board. Then only offered a 50% refund despite the fact that we only completed 3 dives outside of the check dives meaning I paid over $1000 for three dives. To top it off, there was a lady on the boat who was attempting the trip for the second time after the diveboat ran aground on the first night two years ago. Shoddy operator.
