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 experience! Our guide Nando was fantastic, he was informative and attentive and ensured we had a brilliant time. The food was excellent and the crew was very friendly and hospitable. The accommodation is very comfortable with warm water for showering. We are so pleased we chose this boat with its crew and we can’t wait to go back!” Recommended for: Refer below.

Review: Situju7 Cruise Ship; Book: Situju7 Cruise Ship 8.7 Fabulous from £192; $242; €223

Nice trip and very friendly crew. A sleeping turtle, a white tip reef shark under a table coral, a couple of beautiful drift dives with loads of soft coral.” Recommended for: Dive guides, food and the friendly crew.

Review: MY Sunshine; Book: MY Sunshine 8.6 Fabulous from £67; $82; €76

Galapagos is the best diving experience ever. Diving at Darwin and Wolf islands with hundreds of hammerhead sharks on each dive. Diving at ”Manta City” with lots of mantas.” Recommended for: The diving sites were the best experience ever. The dive guides are very skilled and know the sites well. All crew members makes the trip unforgettable.

Review: MV Galapagos Master; Book: MV Galapagos Master 8.6 Fabulous from £528; $676; €618

Nice Boat for experienced Diver. Such an incredible dive experience. We made all the famous dive sides in Komodo and saw the whole marin life what you can see in Komodo. Ricky and Sam were like super lovely and professionel dive guides, like all of the staff on the boat. Everytime again!Recommended for: professionel diveguides, best dive sides in Komodo, Mantas.

Review: Queenesia; Book: Queenesia 8.6 Fabulous from £132; $166; €153

Cocos island in luxury. The chef was brilliant as were the crew who did everything to make the guests feel welcome. The visibility was a bit poor but we still got to see many sharks and Manta Rays. The only thing that spoilt it was that I was not told that a pcr test was required before being allowed to board which cost me a lot of money last minute. Recommended for: The crew were exceptional, the food magnificent and the Whaleshark on the last dive.

Review: MV Okeanos Aggressor II; Book: MV Okeanos Aggressor II 8.5 Fabulous from £321; $411; €376

The Crew and Island are the entire trip! Cannot emphasize enough how fabulous this trip was. Cocos Island has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth … both out of and under the water. Capt. Mauricio is an absolute gem! Always laughing and helped me when I got a little nervous with the 5ft+ swells, gave me the nickname Scarey Shark – hahahah! As a matter of fact the entire crew were gems! Each one always had a smile on their face and made sure that your stay aboard the Cocos Island Aggressor was perfect. Warren the Cruise Director/Dive Guide was passionate, knowledgeable and did an amazing presentation at the end with the video of our trip. You can tell he loves Cocos and diving … I think sometimes he got so wrapped up in enjoying the dive that he forgot he was our dive guide. Our server Eduardo was spectacular; had our drinks ready at each meal, our room turned down with chocolate each night and EVEN DID LAUNDRY (which is a huge plus on such a long trip) The rooms were nice and comfortable. The WC had a slight odor but seriously what do you expect from a boat. There were designated space under the beds for suitcases which was also a plus. The diving was out of the this world. El Niño ended in April and we were in a La Niña with colder water which brought in the sharks. Oh my goodness were there sharks! Hundreds of sharks! But not only that we saw a Manta, Whale Shark, sharks mating and one person in our group saw a Stripped Marlin in the distance not to forget ALL the fish! We were in the rainy season which I was not looking forward and now I think that is the only time to go. This brought in alot of rain, wind and big swells so trips in the panga were quite bumpy but also brings in all the large pelagics. The land tours were great too. Thank you to the crew of the Cocos Island Aggressor! Can’t wait to come back!” Recommended for: Crew, Cleanliness, Laundry Service.

Review: MV Cocos Island Aggressor; Book: MV Cocos Island Aggressor 8.5 Not rated from £356; $456; €417

Diving in the Galapagos you will see hundreds of hammerheads, marine iguanas and schools of many different types of fish. Seeing schools of hammerhead sharks at Darwin and Wolf Island Swimming with marine iguanas and seeing them eat green algae underwater at Fernandino Island Swimming with Galapagos sea lions and how playful they were. Seeing flightless cormorants dive for fish. Seeing Mola-Mola. The food and juices on board were great. The boat was very clean and the staff were friendly. The dingy rides around the smaller islands that allowed us to observe endemic birds was really cool.” Recommended for: Diving at Darwin and Wolf Islands with schools of hammerhead sharks. The food on board was spectacular. At each of the islands after diving, they took us on the dingy to see the edemic birds.
