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.

The best Liveaboard experience
I had a wonderful week diving with White Pearl. The boat feels truly luxurious and the crew went out of their way to make the week special. The onboard spa is an excellent touch. I was even surprised with birthday celebrations during the week! Dives were exceptional and the guides were very knowledgeable of the sites and conditions. One of the best Liveaboard I’ve been on and I’d definitely book again.

Luxury Liveaboard
The beach bbq was awesome and the staff put so much effort into the small details. This was a great social event which was pivotal in bringing the whole group of 15 divers from various nationalities together socially. Diving with the mantas at Addu Madigaa , swimming with the whaleshark, getting up close with the tiger shark at Tiger Zoo and seeing a mass of shark activity at Villingili were some of the highlights of the trip

This boat is beautiful, comfortable and very stable. The staff are welcoming and friendly whilst looking after all your needs. We got some excellent diving with guides who adapted to the capabilities of their divers.

World class boat, great crew, amazing food
This is by far the best liveaboard I’ve been on in the Maldives. The boat is modern, safe, comfortable and elegant. The crew are great and there is really no reason to complain about anything. The rooms are comfortable which makes it easy to feel rested after a good night sleep and ready for another day of diving.

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!

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 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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

Amazing comfort, great service, good diving.
The boat is very new, well-maintained and extremely comfortable. Each room is not too dissimilar to an actual hotel room and after each dive, you have access to a hot shower, which is amazing for a livaboard. The food is great as well. The onboard chefs prepare a range of cuisines everyday so you're never bored of what you're eating. This is the first liveaboard I've ever been on that has an onboard gym. Weights ranging from 2kg to 20kg, rowing machine, bench, cycling machine. There's also a dedicated area to set up and clean your underwater photography gear - very handy. The Jacuzzi is also a plus. If this is the level of comfort you're seeking for a liveaboard, this is the boat for you. The diving was good. Our dive guide Rishi was very knowledgeable, attentive and professional. We were a little bit unlucky with our diving at the start of the trip, as we didn't see much during a number of the channel dives. But as we got to Fuvahmulah, we got to see some tiger sharks (additional charge of US$40/pp) and Mantas, everyone's mood drastically improved. Overall an excellent experience.

White Pearl completely changed my impression on liveaboard. I realized that liveaboard can be a combination of relaxed luxurious vacation and an exciting diving adventure. The crew members in particular Brend and Sara are super helpful. We saw a lot of marine life in the water while also enjoyed the facilities out of water. The beach dinner was so goooood and I’m sure I won’t never forget it.

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
