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.

Another great live aboard experience, this time in Palau.
Enjoyed a very good live aboard in Palau. Red snapper spawning, Blue Corner, Blue holes and caves were great. Would have liked to do more dives.

What a honeymoon!
We went on our honeymoon (slightly belated), and could not have wished for a better experience! Such a great crew - special thanks to Joddy and Mo, as well as the rest of the crew. The crew even made a honeymoon cake for us, which was a truly sweet touch and a fond memory for us. The level of service was incredible; we didn't even have to wash our gear ourselves at the end of the trip. The boat itself is great - I don't know if I've ever been on a liveaboard with a wine fridge, draught beer and laundry service before?! It was just fantastic! And the two dinghies were super comfortable to dive from compared to RIBs. The dive sites were great, and they were awesome in both avoiding the crowds and selecting the right time for the right conditions. We really got some incredible experiences that we will treasure forever.

Super fun and enjoyable Liveaboard experience
Boat is very well upkept, very spacious, new and clean. The jacuzzi is the best after dives. Staff are all so friendly. Dives were guided professionally, briefings were detailed and we always felt safe to be in the group. Another highlight is on the last day when we finished all the dives. Staff set up inflatables for us to play. We had a lot of fun!!!

Outstanding Liveaboard in Palau on the Black Pearl.
This was my first liveaboard, and it was outstanding. I will definitely be going again. The full crew of the Black Pearl provided excellent customer service, in particular Jefrey and Anthony, the dive masters who worked with me. They were knowledgeable about the dive sites and the marine life as well as skilled divers who provided additional education on scuba diving, dive equipment, and other topics. I will recommend this destination and company to others.
