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.

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.

Black Pearl is awesome!
The crew takes care of your every need. If something isn't to your liking they fix it! Swimming with manta's almost every morning next to boat before you even make your first dive!

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

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.

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!
