“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.

Awesome liveaboard trip
The Black Pearl is a really special liveaboard boat; we have done 15 liveaboards around the world and this ship is a real stand out. Like a private yacht. The crew are excellent; from Cruise director Mo down to the chefs, house keepers and boat guys. All were extremely attentive and friendly. Great food, great fellow divers and great diving in Palau.

Perfect Service and incredible dive guides.
Our first Liveaboard. Absolutely the greatest diving experience of our lives. In the past -2 months we dove French Polynesia for 15 days, Florida Keys for a week, and the Maldives for 18 days. The Black Pearl and Palau diving wins out hands down.

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.

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 :)

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)

Will definitely come back during dry season and experience the spawning!
Although there was rain at the beginning of the trip, the last few days with the sun out really make me appreciate the view even more. Even with lower visibility, we still had amazing diving every time with a lot of sharks, turtles and schools of fishes. The crew was always helpful and always listening to our concerns and needs.

- The crew always available when needed. The plan of the day clear. The view.
