Huge and luxury ship, filled with a great crew
11/10 would do again! White Pearl did deliver all I could have hoped for. From the gargantuan vessel to the the top level crew and guides, everything was set for an ultra comfortable trip right from the start. Also, Hadrien as Cruise Director made last minute changes to the route, accounting for weather to ensure the best possible experience for us.

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!

It was maintained with impecable cleanliness throughout our stay. All staff was super friendly and helpful. Diving instructors and dives were well organised.

Great liveaboard experience
The trip on the Whitepearl was incredible. It was our first liveaboard and the experience was definitely to be repeated. The staff was super friendly and very helpful, the dive guides were very experienced and friendly, despite we got put in a group of less experienced divers and head to a disappointing start, all the guys tried to help and make our experience as great as possible and accomodate every request we had. Overall there is really nothing we can say about how the whole thing was managed, it was really good. The food was incredible and the room perfect. We would love to join the Whitepearl again for a different itinerary next year!

Sets a new standard for liveaboards. 10/10.
I only ever want to dive on boats like this from now on. Incredibly luxurious and spacious. Private ensuite with a view from the shower that some people pay 10k/night for at a resort. Food was incredible too. Freshly cooked eggs to order every morning. Delicious meals 3 times / day - not your usual liveaboard fare. And the dive crew - who were knowledgable, relaxed, professional, and friendly - found all the best encounters for us. Mantas, whale sharks, tiger sharks, nudibranchs - everything you could ask for and much much more. The diving setup - including a huge separate dive boat with everyone’s gear pre-setup, was the most sophisticated and hassle-free I have ever experienced. I will be back again!

Great Deep South diving, nice crew and a beautiful spacious new liveaboard
My wife and I did the 8D/7N Deep South trip on the White Pearl and had a great experience overall. The boat itself is quite new and the cabins are excellent for a liveaboard. They are very spacious, the beds are huge and extremely comfortable, and everything felt modern and well maintained. One thing that stood out right at the beginning was the safety briefing. It was probably one of the most comprehensive and well-structured briefings we have had on a liveaboard. The dive operation in general felt very professional and well organized. The dive guides and the rest of the crew were fantastic. The dive groups were small, the guiding was relaxed but attentive, and the overall group dynamic between guests and crew was great. Everyone got along really well which created a very enjoyable atmosphere on the boat throughout the week. The food was also very good with plenty of variety. We especially enjoyed the local dishes. If I had one small suggestion it would be to include even more Maldivian food – for example mashuni as a regular breakfast option is an easy one. The diving itself was great with lots of sharks and action typical for the Deep South with many different sharks. The only minor downside was that the dive sites could have been a bit more varied. We ended up doing 5 of the 18 dives at the same two sites, which slightly reduced the sense of exploration. Overall, we had a fantastic trip and really enjoyed our time on the White Pearl. We would definitely consider booking with them again.

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!

It was really beautiful!
Together with my father we had a great week on board the White Pearl. The diving in the malethieves was fantastic, but apart from the diving we really had nothing to complain about. The beach BBQ was great organized, the afternoon with the water activities was a super nice change and the food was great. Haaidh was a very nice guide and knew a lot about the underwater life. Safety was of paramount importance and was also propagated. For us an experience we will never forget and absolutely no regrets about our choice for the White Pearl.

You won't find a better liveaboard experience on a nicer yacht
This was one of my favorite live aboard dive boats I have ever been on. It is a brand new yacht that is so nice and luxurious. Marble overhead showers with a huge picture window looking out onto the sea. Soft and warm towels everywhere when you get out of the water. Always clean and always fresh to use when you get out of the water. An amazing therapist with a super cool spa room where it literally feels like you are 15’ under the water because of the ceiling (the name is 15ft under.) Great food. Strong drinks. Very, very attentive staff and dive masters that are helpful in every way possible and kind and always greet you with a smile. I don't know how they all smile so much ;-) But really, the staff is incredible no matter where you are on the boat. Sammy, Jude, Richi, Elena, Haaid, the Doni drivers, the cooks, everyone. It was such a wonderful trip. The rooms are incredible, with nice big super comfortable beds. Unlike many liveaboards I have ever been on. There is plenty of space for two people. I even shared a room with someone I didn't know and it was not an issue at all. The bathrooms were spacious like home. A very big comfortable Doni where it might have a ton of people on it, but because of the design, you would never know when in the water. Everyone leaves out from their groups exit on the boat and you never see them in the water. Tons of space that you never feel cramped or on top of each other. I happened to book the trip while already traveling with no scuba gear, and the rental gear was great and top-of-the-line. I couldn't be happier with the experience and would recommend this trip to anyone. And it was so affordable for what you get!

A luxury liveaboard finally!
A fantastic trip. Boat is 2nd to none. Feeling of space is wonderful. Finally a liveaboard where comfort and luxury isn’t compromised. Development areas would be the food whilst fresh was a bit bland, some fragrant local dishes could be introduced. Breakfast was great plus the coffee! Excellent wine list. Some dive sites focused too much on local resorts, which in some ways defeats the purpose of being on a liveaboard so I feel the sites could be revisited,m. Saying that we saw whale, tiger, bull, grey sharks etc so can’t complain too much!

The stay on the White pearl went very well. It was a delightful experience. The yacht is very comfortable. Luxurious.The staff takes great care. The food is very good. I would like to thank KF, the director of the boat who listens and tries as much as possible to satisfy any requests we may have. Unlike the dive director, a very unpleasant Italian, who welcomed us badly from the first contact at the port of Male. And throughout the week, her first reflex was to say no first before even thinking about our requests and their merits. It made some moments uncomfortable. In the end we preferred to ignore it.Concerning the dives. We dived 18 times. It was wonderful every time. I would like to salute the quality and professionalism of our instructor Ricchie. After more than 280 dives around the world, Ricchie is perhaps the best instructor we have ever had. He made our dives fun while remaining safe. Knowing how to react appropriately at all times, including in moments of risk. A big thank you to this quality man. This guy is the pearl of the White Pearl!To conclude, I highly recommend you to choose this cruise. If you have the opportunity to be there, ask to dive with Ricchie or Teddy (we dived with him for a day and it was also great, he's a very nice instructor!).

One of the best holidays I have had
The experience was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up on time at Male airport. The transfer and check-in experience onboard was seamless. Dive groups were assigned for Day 1, with some changes for Day 2 once the guides had a better understanding of everybody's experience and comfort underwater, which was a really nice touch...ensuring everybody got the best experience possible. The boat itself is incredible and I would definitely consider booking it again, as well as the other vessels in the Pearl Fleet. It is not the cheapest boat in the Maldives, but you get what you pay for right down to the quality of rental equipment, should you need it. Overall, a fantastic experience.
