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.

Very nice boat and crew.
The MY Black Pearl was a very nice boat with a professional crew. Have been on many liveaboards before, but don’t know if it was calm water but hardly ever notice when this boat was being moved compliments to the crew. Food was a decent selection of mixed cuisine served buffet style, and kitchen was open to and fulfilled special request. Diving however I expected to be better for Palau is a renowned dive location worldwide and I could not say I was totally impressed due to many dive sites with bad visibility. However we did do a couple dives that included some current and did repeat manta cleaning station twice and were lucky to see mantas on both dives. We did not do the highlight dive “Peleliu Express” apparently due to extreme conditions. Overall a very comfortable way to complete 18 dives.

Great Way to Enjoy a Beautiful Place
Very healthy marine life with big fans, sharks and schools of fish. On board, the service from the crew is excellent and the boat is well-equipped for comfort. The vessel does not sail far or move much during the week, unlike liveaboards in other destinations, but it does bring you closer to the dive sites to reduce travelling time. It's more like a floating resort, with speed boats bringing you out to dive.

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!
