“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.

We had a great week on a lovely boat in a beautiful location, and some stellar dives with strong currents.
The best single experience was the first reef hook - beautiful. The best 50 minute dive was the morning of the last day, in Ulong Channel - terrific drift. The beach barbecue was also lovely.

- Reef hooks! We had not used them before.. Bathrooms in the cabin were lovely.. Fresh fruits and vegetables at the meals, plus the oatmeal before the first dive..

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.

A truly unforgettable family experience!
From the moment you board the Black Pearl you know that you are about to have a unique experience. The boat is luxurious and spacious with many areas available to relax among the three decks and does not feel overcrowded. The cabins are beautifully designed and very comfortable, all with flat screen TV’s and ensuite bathrooms with warm showers. Closet space is limited but it is not really necessary to bring many clothes for this kind of trip. The crew is very kind and friendly and always ready to help. The food is varied with healthy options. One can order eggs for breakfast and there are snacks in the afternoon. One of the two dive boats brought us directly from the Black Pearl to the dive sites and are very well organised with individual storage areas for equipment on them. After each dive, bottles are refilled with Nitrox and the dive suits rinsed and hung up, ready for the next dive. On the first deck of the boat there is a very practical area where cameras and GoPro’s can be changed to have them ready for the next dive. We were surprised by a BBQ dinner on a nearby beach one evening and entire crew put in so much effort to make it a truly magical experience! The dive sites were stunning and we saw many sharks, large schools of fish, cleaning stations, beautiful hard and soft corrals. It was without a doubt some of the best diving we have done so far. Mohammed who was the cruise director was also our dive guide and he was very knowledgeable about each dive site. He was also a lot of fun underwater teaching our children to make ring bubbles which they mastered by the end of the trip. Our 13 year old also completed her Nitrox and Advanced Open Water certification onboard. All in all, we can highly recommend the Black Pearl.

Perfect dive trip!!
I really enjoyed my time on The Black Pearl. It is by far the nicest boat ive been on with comfortable cabins and plenty of shared public areas to relax or socialize in. I approcated that being on a liveaboard gave us the ability to leave earlier in the day, beating out most mainland boats to dive sites and avoiding crowds. We also had the flexibility to vote on changes to the dive schedule if people wanted to repeat sites or go somewhere new. Lastly, the staff were amazing!! Our dive guide Jessie was fantastic! She also has a nearly supernatural ability to find macro stuff on dives. But everyone on the boat really worked together to make sure we had an unforgettable dive. The food was delicious and the service top notch, with a focus on the little details that made the teip feel like a luxury experience. Highly recommend!
