Saba, St. Kitts, and St. Maarten Itinerary | Diving the Caribbean Sea

The Northeastern Caribbean is an intriguing area offering a blend of Dutch, British, French, and local cultures on some of the most scenic islands of the Caribbean.

The Saba and St. Kitts Liveaboard diving itinerary, combining diving and optional island access, has always been unique within the liveaboard diving industry. As a dedicated dive liveaboard, all diving is done directly off of the vessel, using the expansive dive deck covering the aft third of the main deck. Each diver has his or her own dive gear bin; a large camera table, as well as rinse tanks, wetsuit drying racks, charging stations are available for all to use. This vessel also follows our Dive Green and Green Fins initiatives, keeping the environment top of mind.

Diving in the Northeastern Caribbean will surprise you – it’s not mentioned often in the mainstream diving magazines, but highly recommended by divers who return again and again. If you’re looking for a great Caribbean liveaboard with a variety of dive sites – this one is for you.

Two Liveaboard Itineraries

In the Northeastern Caribbean, we have 2 itineraries, depending on the week you choose to dive with us. We depart alternate weeks from St. Maarten and St. Kitts. If you choose a charter that begins in St. Maarten, the charter will end in St. Kitts and you will fly home from there. If you choose a charter that begins in St. Kitts, the charter will end in St. Maarten and that will be your return location.

Days aboard the vessel generally involve breakfast from 7 to 8 am (cold breakfasts are available for late risers), followed by two-morning dives, lunch at 12:30 pm, two afternoon dives, dinner at 6:30 pm, and a night dive (we offer up to 27 dives per week including up to 5 night dives – weather permitting). Island tours will be arranged at each island visited for those interested; further island access is available daily upon request. Please note that these itineraries are examples only, and will change depending on weather and logistics at the Captain’s discretion.
