We sail and dive where no one else goes. You won't see another dive boat - or any boat some days - for miles. We start out diving the Bimini Chain and travel south towards Orange Cay, stopping at dive sites such as Bull Run, Nodules Wall, and Victory Reef to name a few of the abundant choices. South of Orange Cay is amazing diving along the edge of the Grand Bahama Bank and the Santaren Channel.
St. Croix is truly a hidden gem in the Caribbean. Part of the US Virgin Islands, but worlds apart from the usual. Just 35 miles south of St. Thomas, St. John and BVIs it is the largest of the USVIs and also the most dramatic. At 84 miles square and highest elevation at Mount Eagle of 1,165ft, St Croix boasts beautiful beaches, rain forests, salt marshes, desert, and plains.
Just 45 miles from the west coast of Puerto Rico lies an untouched diving oasis called Mona Island. Here, the diving is some of the best around, beautiful walls and pinnacles, big animal encounters, coral heads the size of houses - but it is not for everyone. Mona island is known for its pristine and awe-inspiring diving, but also for it's challenging surface conditions and unpredictable currents.
In the winter the weather in Florida and the Bahamas can get a little sketchy - anyone who has ever done a Gulf Stream Crossing in January can attest to that! That is why Juliet heads south for the winter, to find more consistent and pleasant climates to dive and explore. Every year just after Thanksgiving we head south and return to restart our Bahamas season in April - and we invite passengers to come along with us!
Juliet Sailing and Diving was founded in 2003 by Captain John Beltramo, who has been sailing and diving the Bahamas for over 15 years. John has been diving all over the world, and chose to base the company in the Bahamas because there is something special here. We've operated primarily out of Miami since our first cruise, running trips to the Bahamas in the Bimini area where there is an abundance of fish life and beautiful dive sites.

Just got off our second tour on the Juliet and it will not be our last. The boat is absolutely precious, well made, well laid out and just a diver's dream. The staff was well trained, attentive and just a pleasure to be around. Food was delicious and plentiful. The dive master was more than capable of handling any gear issues and did a great job on the briefings. We cannot wait to book our next stay aboard the Juliet!

This past October was my fourth trip on Juliet and it was the 3rd trip for my wife. This is our go to place to dive! Between her and I, we’ve been on Juliet from Miami to the Bahamas twice, once to St. Croix and once to Puerto Rico. So we’ve spent about a month total on the ship. We have also already booked a two week reposition trip for March of 2020. After spending a total of four weeks on this ship, I feel that I have a good understanding and have encounter all different people and experiences.
Hands down, diving with the Juliet crew is like diving with friends and family. Safety is most

I've been on the Juliet four times in the last three years with two different crews including Kat as one of the Captains. I highly recommend this live aboard. The crews are the friendliest, knowledgeable, know their stuff and tailor make the week for passengers based on guests abilities and what they want to see. I have been on other live aboard and to dive resorts that don't even come close too the hospitality of what the Juliet staff has to offer. Anyone who gives anything less than 4-5 stars has obviously never been on board and never spent time with the crews.

I'd sail aboard the Juliet everyday if I could... unfortunately life gets in the way. The entire crew has been amazing during my times aboard. I've done the Bahamas and Mona Island itineraries and neither disappointed. Great crew, great food, smooth sailing and an all around good time. A shot from the water - Mona Island.

I was on the Juliet in Feb in St. Croix. Crew went above and beyond to make the trip an enjoyable and memorable one. Food was outstanding and plenty of it. Crew was always willing to help us prepare getting in and out of the water. Capt made frequent rounds making sure all our needs were being met. Overall awesome trip and I look forward to my next trip on the Juliet.

I’ve been diving for years now, and I look back at my time on the Juliet with great respect and wonderful memories. The crew is amazing. Liza is an excellent captain. The food was delicious. The dive expertise was impressive. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. The crossing the first day from Miami to the Bahamas was a little rough. I got sick, but Liza took great care of me. Doing ever thing she could to make me comfortable. You can’t blame a crew for rough waters. But you can respect a crew for caring for its passengers. We will definitely return.

The Juliet is a wonderful ship. The crew is attentive and professional yet they are friendly and accommodating. I have been on this dive experience 5 times and I have yet to have a bad experience. If you are looking for a relaxing dive adventure with a caring group of people you have found it.
Drop your BC on a tank. Sit back and enjoy a week of relaxation and tinder care.
I cannot say enough good things about this ship and the crew.
LET’S GO DIVING!!!!

I did the Virgin Islands trip on the Juliet in December and couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Liza (an old hand and now the new owner), Capt. Donnie, and the rest of the crew were fantastic. One night I was the only one interested in diving, but Liza suited up as my buddy as if she had been just dying to get in the water (never mind being tired from the day's work.) The whole atmosphere on the Juliet was friendly and informal, and quickly led to great camaraderie among the passengers and crew (like playing the "Vampire" game in the galley one night ;) Just an excellent vibe in every

I just left the wonderful Juliet and her amazing crew. My heart and mind hold lovely memories of the beautiful dives we shared, the extraordinary customers service, attention, care and delicious meals. The crew is dedicated to insuring the guests experience outstanding dives under the safest conditions possible. Nate guided the graceful and comfortable Juliet up and down the reefs to find us the very best conditions for the safest diving on the most beautiful reefs. Liza is a "servant leader", making life at sea and our dive holiday the most enriching experience for all of us and instilling these
