Cocos Island Aggressor - entire lower cabin level available in peak season 2026. Thoughts?

[jsyteng]

I've been researching liveaboard trips to Cocos for late summer 2026. Unsurprisingly, many of the spots are taken since it's peak Cocos season. However, I came across one charter for late August that literally has the entire lower cabin level available. The top level is completely booked.

This strikes me as strange. Am I overthinking it? I called Aggressor and they didn't really explain why this is the case. I really want to pull the trigger but thought it prudent to check with this community for your thoughts.

Thank you in advance!

Summer 2026 is a year out. Maybe they just added this trip? Or, if this trip is on the Okeanos boat those cabins are 81 sq feet. I've been on one of those Aggressor boats with those tiny cabins. Not great but doable.

I’m betting a lot of folks have become gunshy about below deck accommodations based on the rash of LOB disasters over the past few years. Below deck evacuations haven’t been a success story.
