My group and I are looking at doing a Nekton Liveaboard. I've never been on any of their boats but have been on a couple of liveaboards before. My reason for looking at the Nekton as a possible trip is because the boat for the Bahamas leaves from Ft. Lauderdale, FL. That's the best selling point. The airfare going anywhere is extremely high. I figure we can make it to Ft. Lauderdale, no transferring, not waiting at the airport for the next flight, etc. My group and I are leaving for Utila on Saturday, the sellign point there is that it is a brand new resort, that loves to wait on you hand and foot and awsome diving. I won't tell you what some people paid for their air, it was utterly ridiculous. I'm glad I got my air in December and I thought it was high then. Reading everyone's opinion really helped me form my opinion for the rest of the group. Now to sell them on the idea. RoatanMan came in with the positives and knowledge right away, as usual. :10: He did the same for me when we went to CocoView in Roatan. I appreciate his experience. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the enlightenment. So from my perusal I take it that the Nekton is a bit used but definitely not out, the crew is good, hopefully there will be Nitrox, rooms are comfy hopefully the beds are too. How many people does it hold? Guess I can look that up.
