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 Premium Diving Masterpiece: 2 Weeks on the Black Pearl
My 2-week trip on the Black Pearl was outstanding, thanks to the pristine yacht and the incredibly helpful crew. The diving was spectacular, ranging from sharks and mantas to caves and vibrant schools of fish. Most importantly, the small group ratio—one guide for just 4 divers—was a game-changer, allowing us to enjoy full 60-minute dives with maximum safety. The culinary experience was also exceptional; the food was delicious, and they took great care of my dietary needs, including sugar-free options. However, a word of advice for fellow divers: Palau features some of the strongest currents I have ever encountered in my extensive diving experience. It can be quite dangerous if you aren't experienced with heavy currents, so I highly recommend being well-prepared. That said, don't hesitate to visit—just come expecting intense currents and enjoy the thrilling experience of using a reef hook; it’s truly a must-try here!

Spawning at shark city brow up my mind
Some diving sites are amazingly beautiful, especially the check dive for snapper and other big fishes ball’s spawning at shark city, which is totally brow up my mind, with many bull sharks hunting around, just so many things to see at the same time and don’t know where to eye on

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!

Fabulous trip, made all the better by great dive sites and wonderful guides and crew.
Getting to dive on such a diverse variety of sites. From wrecks, cavers/swim throughs, reef walls and great hook in sites to watch the passing parade of sharks. All made even better by our fabulous dive guide, Bibo and the ever helpful cruise director, Mohamad and his team.

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!.
