Our approach

An independent marketplace, built around the operators who actually run the trips.

Liveaboards.com is an independent marketplace for liveaboard diving cruises and dive resort stays. We don't own boats, and we don't resell trips through chains of intermediaries. Every booking made through us is direct with the operator who actually runs the vessel.

What we do is curate. Every boat clears a real quality bar before it goes live: the operator's safety certifications verified, vessel licenses and current insurance on file, and a track record from real guests that we keep reading, not just the headline rating but the actual write-ups. If something stops adding up, the listing comes down.

We're picky about what we list, on purpose. It's not about how many boats we carry, it's about whether each one deserves the booking. When you book through us, you talk directly to the team running the boat, you book the trip you actually discussed, and everything is on file in writing for both sides. Below is what that looks like in practice.

What we promise

Six principles,
still in force.

01

Vetted boats only

Before a boat goes live we verify the operator's safety certifications, vessel licenses, and current insurance, and we read through real guest reviews. If something doesn't add up, it doesn't get listed. No auto-imported inventory, no padding the count.

02

Operator-direct prices

What you see is what you pay. No hidden commission stacked on top. The operator pays a single fair fee only on confirmed bookings.

03

Real human support

Most of our team dive. Your questions are answered by people who know what nitrox is and which boats run currents over the threshold.

04

Free cancellation, where offered

If your boat supports free cancellation, we surface it clearly. If it does not, we tell you why.

05

Calls before bookings

For trips over $4,000 we offer a free 15-min call with someone who knows the destination before you commit.

06

Honest reviews

We never delete a bad review (unless it violates our terms). Operators can respond publicly, same as you can.
