Fantastic
One of the best things about this boat experience was the space. The boat was very clean, open, and comfortable, with plenty of room to relax and move around without feeling crowded. The schedule was also excellent. Everything ran on time and was well organized, which made the trip smooth and stress-free. We were able to enjoy every part of the journey without feeling rushed. Finally, the staff truly made the experience special. They were friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their attention to safety and guest comfort made us feel very well taken care of. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed boat trip with amazing service!

Super experience onboard the white pearl. The boat itself is luxurious and holds a lot of areas for lounging comfortably in your free time. It was maintained with impecable cleanliness throughout our stay. All staff was super friendly and helpful. Diving instructors and dives were well organised. The diveboat was very comfortable and spacious with very helpful staff waiting to greet you and help you up onto the boat after each dive. Food was also excellent each meal.

Outstanding liveaboard in every way!
This was one of the very best trips we've ever taken! Everything was superb. The diving was well paced, the food was consistently good, and the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating. We have never done a liveaboard before because I tend to get seasick, but the White Pearl was perfect for this and I never felt sick at all. I could not recommend this boat and trip more! We will for sure be back! Thank you!

This boat is awesome, it's spacious and comfortable and beautiful. The crew is so careful and attentive to you. The chef offers a wide range of food. For the dives, ask for Risshi! The best guide of the team for sure! On the last day, a jet-ski is available but chargeable. It's the best boat whatsoever!

Great boat. Fantastic trip
This was our 6th Liveaboard and we had a great time. We did the Hanimaadhoo to Male route and most dives were amazing. Saw Hammerheads, Tiger Sharks, many reef sharks and turtles and many more. Food was the best we had on Liveaboard. One thing to keep in mind is that this boat markets heavily toward Chinese and majority of the guests tend to be Chinese. If you are a solo traveler who does not speak Chinese, you may find it hard to connect with most of the guests. That said, wife and are not Chinese, yet we still had a great time

Outstanding ship with very courteous crew
The week on the White Pearl was a great experience from start to finish. The ship is modern, luxurious and very spacious. There are always more places available than could be needed. Everything is stress-free and of high quality. The state of hygiene in the cabins and also in all public areas is outstanding. Also the pool on deck was always available and absolutely clean. It was striking how calm and stable the White Pearl is in the water compared to most other ships. Had no ride and no night in which it rocked.The kitchen and the service staff are certainly to be praised. The food was very varied, delicious and perfectly presented. It was striking how good and extensive the range of food is. There really are no wishes left unfulfilled.The diving operation worked smoothly. Even though the corals are unfortunately very battered by now, the guides really did everything to get the best out of it. It was also very commendable that the route was deliberately chosen so that as few other liveboards as possible were always at the same dive sites. Special mention should also be made of the mint and very clean dhoni - fits perfectly with the rest of the experience. Overall, we can absolutely recommend the White Pearl. Especially for those who want to combine diving and a luxurious cruise.

Excellent Liveaboard and exceptional diving conditions.
I have been diving for 59 years all over the world. Both tropical and northern cold water drysuit diving. I preferred the lower current type of dives within the atolls for marine tropical fish photography. The atoll channel diving is interesting but quite strenuous since reef hooks must be used once the appropriate depth and location is reached in order to establish a fixed vantage watch for pelagic fish, sharks, rays to pass by the dive group. Lots of divers and lots of boat traffic. Be experienced at deploying your SMB!!!
