Liveaboards with single cabins?

[also_anon_dc]

I love liveaboard diving but usually travel solo and I hate the idea of sharing a room. So far I've been lucky enough to pay a small single supplement (in the Red Sea) and lucked out in getting my own room (Turks and Caicos).

What liveaboards are out there that have single cabins (or very low single supplements)? So far I've come across Mermaid I in Indonesia and Bahamas Master. What other ones are out there?

Nautilus Explorer to the Revillagigedos, I'm like you, I really enjoyed it.

Subscribed. I did Turks and Socorro last year and paid the single supplement. That's my standard MO, but some of them get pretty nasty. One LOB I was looking at in Galapagos charges 80%. +1 on @scubadada 's recommendation of Nautilus. I did Belle Amie and felt their single supplement was reasonable.

Added to the list! Thank you!

Yeah 80% for a trip that's already $5k+ is absurd. I'd recommend checking out the Red Sea if you haven't already. Liveaboards there are dirt cheap already a 50% single supplement is not a big deal at all.

Blue Manta just 10% single supplement. Amazing boat with big rooms. Did their trip to Komodo and going to Raja this Xmas if the covid gods allow it.

Amazing! I'll have to use them whenever I make it to Komodo or Raja Ampat.

Nautilus charges a 25% single penalty no matter what ship or itinerary.
Allstar Liveaboards has varying rates depending on location. The Aqua Cat in the Bahamas is 65%. The Cuan Law in BVI is 50%.

I’m on the Raja Christmas 2022 trip (Dec 23-Jan 2) as well with a single cabin - fingers crossed!

Wha happens when you book with a singles supplement early on and then the subsequent booking enquiries indicate housefull boat bookings? Do the boat charter companies try to talk you out of the singles booking and share your cabin? Because they lose money by taking only singles supplement vs a full booking amount for another diver…
