“A great week full of dive souvenirs, in a superb island surrounding, on a very confortable boat.”
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.

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!

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!

The experience of a lifetime!!
This was our very first liveaboard experience and definitely not the last. Palau is perfect for such a start, while not sailing far from the main land, you are find yourself already in the middle of the ocean, so accessing the game could not be done with less effort. The boat is not the typical dive boat, it must have been originally a luxury boat. I have to say the Crew made this trip memorable, they make an effort for the guest to connect and ensure we have a blast. Dive masters are all top-notch, briefings were clear and efficient and the restaurant had always some treat for us, be it cookies, water, juices, etc. Food was delicious and the cooks were awesome as well, making us feel warm and cozy. I miss them! We were lucky enough to get one of the two suites (thanks you Black Friday!), with enough space and wonderful views to the sea. The boat has an upper deck where you can rest and sunbathe without hassle (look for the corners with Internet!). But the best treat was the jacuzzi, where we could enjoy sunset with bubbles and a cup of white European wine (what else you need??). When it comes to diving, this trip went directly to our top 3 ever (we have around 75 dives). Probably German Channel is one of the best dives you can get. Seeing the mantas in the cleaning station from such a short distance and then below the surface feeding on krill going around us and followed by thousand of fishes...nature at its best!

- Amazing boat, not the typical dive boat, feeling millionaire for a week ;). The organization of all dives, debriefings, activities, etc. Crew is awesome and very professional. Rooms and public areas are clean all the time and food is amazing as well.. Every dive is different and very enjoyable. Don't miss German Channel and the mantas around the boat at night!.

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.

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 :)

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!
