We're considering booking an Aggressor liveaboard trip through one of their sales, maybe Belize, Caymans, or Turks & Caicos. Some of the trips have incredibly low bookings and are coming up soon.

For example, the Belize Aggressor III trip in two months Dec. 13-20, 2025 appears to only have one passenger booked. The vessel has 9 cabins and only 1 person is booked in cabin 6 so far. All other cabins look to be available based on the information on their website:

Given the time of year for that trip I'm not surprised that bookings are low.

I understand that Aggressor has lots of fans and lots of detractors. That said, I'm really just interested in feedback about Aggressor cancelling trips due to low bookings. The cancellation/refund policy is all about if the passenger cancels, not if Aggressor cancels.

I have read a lot of threads including the long one about the trip that was cancelled a day in advance due to a group cancellation, but it seems like that type of cancellation was a pretty unique exception. I'd imagine if they routinely cancelled trips with low bookings like this there would be more chatter about it. At the same time, I can't imagine a trip with so few bookings actually proceeding.

Does Aggressor routinely cancel trips with low bookings? Has anyone sailed with Aggressor with very low occupancy? I appreciate any input you can share. Thanks!
 
I think all of us who do Aggressor trips watch the same thing.

That being said, the TnC trip I am booked for lowered their price recently in an attempt to sell it out. There was only 9 booked, and after the dropped the price, 3 bookings happened. Because we've never paid full price for an Aggressor, without going back to look, I think all previous trips on it have been sold out give or take 1 spot.

12 on our boat sounds like a dream come true though.

Thanks so much for your input. We'll keep an eye on these trips at the very least. I hope you have a great trip to TnC!

Master suite on that boat was well worth the spend. I hate bunk berths! 1st world problems I know.

The last time we were on TnC Aggressor (2022) we had a completely different crew than who's on it now. Hoping someone gives a report on the current crew. We did get a natural feeding frenzy on a night dive. it would be amazing to get another.
