Boat Information

MV Live & Direct - Adventure, versatility & speed (ideal 6/8/10 – max 14) Dive (max 8)

Live & Direct is and has been the adventure standard bearer of the Big Blue fleet and the TCI for over 15 years. She has been loved, lived and modified. If she could speak, her stories would be some of the most epic adventure stories in the Turks and Caicos. Some are secret, many are well known. She has been just about everywhere, can go almost anywhere and can do almost anything. She is fast, she is dry and she is stable. In short there is unequivocally no boat like her. She is a one of a kind, unique in everyway.

At 40’ long with a 14’ beam with two 355HP Cummins, Live & Direct is an awesome power catamaran. Ideal for 6-9 divers, she is equally adept at exploring the Caicos banks with 10-14 snorkelers and freedivers or with kids jumping off her sides during our annual Kids Kamps. Racked and stacked with paddleboards during the October Kalama Kamp she explores shallow creeks and bays only accessible by boats half her size.
No shower, but there is a head.

If you want action, adventure and fun, Live & Direct will deliver and then some. She is our beloved 4 x 4. Big Blue water born safaris are best reflected in her.

Charter Tour Options

South Side Full Day

Duration: 8 hours

The South Side is where we take you to go and get away from other boats and off the beaten path. Distances are further but the journey is as much the reward as the destination. Typically we frequent West Caicos, French Cay and the South West side of Provo.

Full day trips to West Caicos and French Cay continue to deliver some of our best trips and experiences. From caves, to coves, small cliffs, excellent wall diving and remote snorkel reefs as well as open ocean dolphin encounters. Our full day boat adventures are steeped heavily in our 20-year history. 

This is an exceptional way to get away from the crowds and experience an adventure on the south banks of the island. You can dive, snorkel, or rent a paddleboard and get wet as you visit places like French Cay and West Caicos. The all-day excursion comes with a selection of snacks and a lunch meal for all guests. Those who want to try scuba diving can get a guide and equipment for an extra charge.
