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.

Amazing experience on Black Pearl Liveaboard
We had an incredible experience aboard the Black Pearl liveaboard! From the very beginning, the organization was excellent — the team provided super helpful checklists and clear information before departure, which made everything smooth and stress-free. The boat itself is absolutely stunning — huge, comfortable, and beautifully designed with plenty of relaxing areas to unwind between dives. The crew and staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming; we felt completely at home from day one. The route was perfectly planned, offering a great mix of dive sites and breathtaking scenery. Most importantly, safety was always a top priority — we felt well looked after at all times, both above and below the water. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional, safe, and unforgettable diving adventure!

Amazing week on the black pearl
By far the best live-aboard I've been to so far and it's all down to the crew, from the cruise director through the dive guides and everyone else on board who really work hard to make sure everyone is happy. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, diving is very easy from the dhingies and there was always a lot of good food ready after diving. I usually like to complain but it was really hard to do this week :)

Spawning at shark city brow up my mind
Some diving sites are amazingly beautiful, especially the check dive for snapper and other big fishes ball’s spawning at shark city, which is totally brow up my mind, with many bull sharks hunting around, just so many things to see at the same time and don’t know where to eye on

Recommended boat, great crew, great service, blue water, current, intact reefs
From pickup to drop-off, an all-round positive travel experience. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. Already knew the wishes and preferences of the guests as well as the names on the second day. Requests were responded to quickly as far as possible. The cabins are spacious and clean. The bathroom was great and thanks to the door on the shower largely dry. For safety, a fire alarm has been rehearsed and fire extinguishers are available everywhere, as well as life jackets. The food was delicious and there was always something different. We dived at the well-known places in Palau: Red Snapper Spawning was a highlight, as was Blue Corner and German Channel. Under water, various sharks could be spotted, large shoals of various fish species and numerous turtles. Unfortunately, we could only see manta rays and dolphins from the boat. But there is never a guarantee for that. Macro is rather scarce in Palau. Instead, blue water, currents, intact reefs with little tourism.

Wonderful diving trip in Palau
Excellent trip aboard the Black Pearl, Momo and his team are very kind. We felt comfortable and the boat is big enough that we weren't on top of each other constantly. The food is varied and of good quality (have fresh salad for example). It is true that the boat does not move much and that the majority of the trips are made by dinggy (10-15'l. The real difference with an operator on the island is the advantage of being the first/last on site outside the peak hours of the dive centers. Momo will be your first choice as a guide to finding big while Jeffry has a keen eye for finding macro. Great team overall!
