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.

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.

Great holiday in Palau
My husband and I had a great holdiay on the boat. Our dive guide is very experienced and planned the dives very well. The bumphead parrot fish spawning is definitely a highlight. The boat is very modern and comfortable.

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!.

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!

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!

Recommended boat, great crew, great service, blue water, current, intact reefs
From pickup to drop-off, an all-round positive travel experience. The crew was always very friendly and helpful. Already knew the wishes and preferences of the guests as well as the names on the second day. Requests were responded to quickly as far as possible. The cabins are spacious and clean. The bathroom was great and thanks to the door on the shower largely dry. For safety, a fire alarm has been rehearsed and fire extinguishers are available everywhere, as well as life jackets. The food was delicious and there was always something different. We dived at the well-known places in Palau: Red Snapper Spawning was a highlight, as was Blue Corner and German Channel. Under water, various sharks could be spotted, large shoals of various fish species and numerous turtles. Unfortunately, we could only see manta rays and dolphins from the boat. But there is never a guarantee for that. Macro is rather scarce in Palau. Instead, blue water, currents, intact reefs with little tourism.

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
