Highlights
Built with divers' needs in mind, M/Y Black Pearl offers week-long itineraries to Palau, one of the world's top diving destinations. 12 guest cabins cater to 24 guests. Each cabin features twin beds, ensuite bathrooms, AC, and a safety deposit box. The new 200x210cm latex mattresses with 300-thread count Egyptian cotton will submerge guests in luxury and comfort.
Social areas include a large sun deck with beach beds, tanning benches, a dedicated camera setup area, a lounge with a TV, and a 6-person whirlpool. The outdoor terrace at the back of the boat is ideal for a sundowner to reflect on the day’s adventures.
The M/Y Black Pearl features a comfortable dive deck fitted with anti-slip flooring, a designated camera maintenance area with a low-pressure air gun and work table, and 2 fully-kitted diving skiffs. Palau is known for having some of the best diving in the world, with a huge variety of marine life, deep drop-offs, wrecks, and cave systems. Itineraries visit some of Palau's most notable dive sites, including Blue Holes and Blue Corner. The cruise also includes visiting the stunning Jellyfish Lake for a memorable snorkeling session among hundreds of harmless jellyfish. The Black Pearl doesn't require many logged dives; however, divers should be comfortable diving in currents to join this trip, as these can be unpredictable and quite strong in some dive sites. Inexperienced and beginner-level divers may find some dives quite challenging and may be asked by the Cruise Director to skip dives unsuitable for their diving experience level.

A Premium Diving Masterpiece: 2 Weeks on the Black Pearl
My 2-week trip on the Black Pearl was outstanding, thanks to the pristine yacht and the incredibly helpful crew. The diving was spectacular, ranging from sharks and mantas to caves and vibrant schools of fish. Most importantly, the small group ratio—one guide for just 4 divers—was a game-changer, allowing us to enjoy full 60-minute dives with maximum safety. The culinary experience was also exceptional; the food was delicious, and they took great care of my dietary needs, including sugar-free options. However, a word of advice for fellow divers: Palau features some of the strongest currents I have ever encountered in my extensive diving experience. It can be quite dangerous if you aren't experienced with heavy currents, so I highly recommend being well-prepared. That said, don't hesitate to visit—just come expecting intense currents and enjoy the thrilling experience of using a reef hook; it’s truly a must-try here!

Perfect Service and incredible dive guides.
Our first Liveaboard. Absolutely the greatest diving experience of our lives. In the past -2 months we dove French Polynesia for 15 days, Florida Keys for a week, and the Maldives for 18 days. The Black Pearl and Palau diving wins out hands down.

Will definitely come back during dry season and experience the spawning!
Although there was rain at the beginning of the trip, the last few days with the sun out really make me appreciate the view even more. Even with lower visibility, we still had amazing diving every time with a lot of sharks, turtles and schools of fishes. The crew was always helpful and always listening to our concerns and needs.

A truly unforgettable family experience!
From the moment you board the Black Pearl you know that you are about to have a unique experience. The boat is luxurious and spacious with many areas available to relax among the three decks and does not feel overcrowded. The cabins are beautifully designed and very comfortable, all with flat screen TV’s and ensuite bathrooms with warm showers. Closet space is limited but it is not really necessary to bring many clothes for this kind of trip. The crew is very kind and friendly and always ready to help. The food is varied with healthy options. One can order eggs for breakfast and there are snacks in the afternoon. One of the two dive boats brought us directly from the Black Pearl to the dive sites and are very well organised with individual storage areas for equipment on them. After each dive, bottles are refilled with Nitrox and the dive suits rinsed and hung up, ready for the next dive. On the first deck of the boat there is a very practical area where cameras and GoPro’s can be changed to have them ready for the next dive. We were surprised by a BBQ dinner on a nearby beach one evening and entire crew put in so much effort to make it a truly magical experience! The dive sites were stunning and we saw many sharks, large schools of fish, cleaning stations, beautiful hard and soft corrals. It was without a doubt some of the best diving we have done so far. Mohammed who was the cruise director was also our dive guide and he was very knowledgeable about each dive site. He was also a lot of fun underwater teaching our children to make ring bubbles which they mastered by the end of the trip. Our 13 year old also completed her Nitrox and Advanced Open Water certification onboard. All in all, we can highly recommend the Black Pearl.
