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.

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.

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.

Luxury and Adventure Perfectly Combined: A Top-Tier Liveaboard in Palau
My recent liveaboard experience in Palau was exceptional, combining luxury, adventure, and professionalism. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and prioritized safety at every step, ensuring seamless and well-organized dives to iconic sites like Blue Corner and German Channel. The boat itself was a haven of comfort, featuring spacious cabins, gourmet meals, and top-notch dive equipment. Dives were carefully planned, with small groups, high-quality gear, and meticulous surface support, making every moment stress-free. With its perfect blend of outstanding service, delicious food, and attention to detail, this liveaboard is the ultimate way to explore Palau’s breathtaking underwater world. Highly recommended!

We had a great week on a lovely boat in a beautiful location, and some stellar dives with strong currents.
The best single experience was the first reef hook - beautiful. The best 50 minute dive was the morning of the last day, in Ulong Channel - terrific drift. The beach barbecue was also lovely.
- Recommended for
- Reef hooks! We had not used them before.. Bathrooms in the cabin were lovely.. Fresh fruits and vegetables at the meals, plus the oatmeal before the first dive..

Awesome liveaboard trip
The Black Pearl is a really special liveaboard boat; we have done 15 liveaboards around the world and this ship is a real stand out. Like a private yacht. The crew are excellent; from Cruise director Mo down to the chefs, house keepers and boat guys. All were extremely attentive and friendly. Great food, great fellow divers and great diving in Palau.
