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.

These last minute liveaboard deals are sorted in descending Deal Date” order, where the 40% deals with the furthest “Deal Date” are at the top of the list. If you would prefer to re-sort the table into last minute offers in ascending order select “Ascending” and press “Sort“.*

You can browse the deals, compare prices, choose your holiday date and book your diving safari at the best rates online! With flexible booking terms. Also see below the liveaboard comparison table, so you can also check the customer review ratings for all liveaboards. But in particular, you can check the reviews of the liveaboard you choose in the 40% deal list.

If you would like to sort this last minute liveaboard deals list in order of, “Liveaboard Discount Total“, “Price Before Discount“, “Price After Discount” or “Tour Days“, select one of these options from the “Sort by” dropdown menu and press “Sort“.

Amazing trip! Didn’t want to leave. I had an amazing time aboard the Aqua. From the moment I met with the crew, everything was a breeze. I didn’t need to worry about anything during the duration of the trip. The days and schedule were organized so well. The staff took care of everything so all we really needed to worry about was waking up on time :). Recommended for: Boat, crew, ease of everything.

Review: MY Aqua; Book: MY Aqua 9.1 Superb from £398; $509; €466

Outstanding liveabord experience. The Whaleshark dive is right at the top, not only did it fulfill a tick on our bucket list, it was an experience of 30 odd minutes that normally only lasts 3 or 4. All dives for us offered something different and this is what we came to do – loved every minute. Diving always makes you hungry. The food on board was excellent at every mealtime and we were very well looked after. Diving makes you tired and our cabin was a comfortable, spacious and welcome retreat with perfect view.” Recommended for: The Diving and it’s very organised set-up, food and cabin comfort, friendliness of the staff and crew.

Review: MV Carpe Novo; Book: MV Carpe Novo 9.1 Superb from £195; $246; €226

The best diving experience so far with amazing food, staff and guides. Saw everything I wanted – Mantas, Sharks(white tip, black tip, grey and silver), Whale shark, Eagle rays, Schools of Baracudas, j. Best diving so far. Great food and a small group size of 11 people in our trip. It was a all Nitrox boat with amazing guides. Special shout out to Alan who helped us see amazing stuff plus improved our diving. Also, shout out to Chandana, who was an amazing bartender and a great human being. My wife had a birthday and the whole crew made it so special! there was a cake plus Alan had a card 30mts underwater and the crew made a heart with the towels – touched. The food on the boat by the chef Baby Anthony and his assitance was amazing and was definitely a highlight. Lastly, big hug to Ripon, the guy for everything – captain, guide, friend.. Overall Had the best vacation ever.” Recommended for: The guest size, dives, food and crew. Loved the boat interiors as well.

Review: MV Ocean Divine; Book: MV Ocean Divine 9.1 Superb from £143; $180; €166

An amazing experience. This was our second time aboard the Mermaid having previously visited Komodo in 2014. That trip was amazing and would have been hard to beat but this was just as good, if not better. Nothing is ever a chore for the wonderful crew, so friendly and helpful. The dive guides were fantastic especially our guide Ketut who really looked after us. All the dives were planned in advance and we went to the best sites. Very clear briefings and safety was always front of mind. The boat is really well maintained and stocked. Everything is organised to the finer details and is like a well oiled machine meaning you’re never left waiting. The food is incredible, the best we’ve had on a liveaboard. The Mermaid really sets the bar.” Recommended for: Diving, food, and crew.

Review: MV Mermaid II; Book: MV Mermaid II 9.1 Superb from £246; $310; €285

A magical 10 day diving holiday. This was one of the most amazing diving trips. Everything underwater is stunning. nothing disappoints. Te staff are wonderful and extremely helpful. I am unable to lift a tank due to back problems. They helped me every time. They also take excellent care of the equipment after dives by rinsing and hanging our wetsuits to dry and at the end of the trip cleaning and drying our BCDs and regulators as well. The reason I gave this 4* on cabin comfort is that I prefer to have the shower cubicle separate from the toilet. You get used to it after a while but it is not ideal.” Recommended for: Stunning dives, exceptional service, comfort.

Review: MV Mermaid I; Book: MV Mermaid I 9.1 Superb from £320; $403; €371

Amazing Experience. Our first proper liveaboard experience and we were not disappointed. Komodo was every bit as stunning as we had been told it was and sailing around it on a boat as beautiful as Mutiara Laut, with a Crew as brilliant as we had was an absolute pleasure. Could not recommend highly enough. Hopefully see you in Raja Ampat soon!Recommended for: Dive Sites, Crew, Food.

Review: Mutiara Laut; Book: Mutiara Laut 9.1 Superb from £336; $423; €390

Rustic boat, excellent staff, fantastic diving. Superb diving. Boat staff and Dive Masters very welcoming and professional, accommodating our every query and request. Dive gear in good condition and any repairs/problems immediately sorted. The boat needs a lick of paint, but by the end of the trip if felt like home. Would book again in a flash.” Recommended for: Diving, food, staff.

Review: Jaya; Book: Jaya 9.1 Superb from £125; $158; €145

Stay tuned for more dates, more discounts and more great affordable diving opportunities! Happy Diving!!
