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 great week. Exceptional boat, attentive crew, good diving organization. Very nice diving destination, incredibly full of fish (but with less diversity than Indonesia and the Philippines, even though they are very close)

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.

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.

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!
