Black Pearl Yacht – Luxury Liveaboard Diving in Palau

The Black Pearl is a modern luxury liveaboard yacht built for divers who want comfort, space, and effortless access to Palau’s world-class dive sites. Launched in 2019 and operated by Pearl Fleet, this purpose-built superyacht combines performance, elegance, and diver-focused design in one seamless experience. With accommodation for just 24 guests, Black Pearl offers a calm, exclusive atmosphere where everything flows naturally—from diving schedules to relaxed evenings on deck.

At 46.8 meters in length, Black Pearl is the largest and fastest liveaboard yacht in Palau, cruising smoothly at 12 knots and providing excellent stability at sea. The yacht features 12 spacious cabins, including two master sea-view cabins on the upper deck, four sea-view cabins on the main deck, and six deluxe cabins on the lower deck. Every cabin is thoughtfully equipped with an ensuite bathroom, air conditioning, TV, safe deposit box, international power outlets, and USB charging ports, creating a comfortable private space to recharge between dives.

Life onboard is easy and unhurried, with generous indoor and outdoor areas designed for relaxation and socializing. Guests enjoy three freshly prepared meals per day, served buffet-style with international fusion cuisine, alongside complimentary coffee, tea, drinking water, and snacks available throughout the day. The indoor restaurant offers beautiful sea views, while the cocktail bar and outdoor deck provide the perfect setting for sunset drinks and quiet conversations under the stars. The spacious sundeck, complete with a whirlpool and lounge areas, invites guests to unwind, soak up the sun, or simply enjoy the open ocean.

Black Pearl is fully equipped for exceptional scuba diving and underwater photography. The large dive deck offers individual gear stations, supported by two high-speed dive tenders for efficient access to Palau’s best sites. Diving is conducted in small groups with a 6:1 diver-to-guide ratio, ensuring safety and a more personal experience. Complimentary Nitrox, full safety equipment, and a dedicated camera room with camera stations make the yacht ideal for both recreational divers and serious photographers. Non-divers are equally well catered for, with access to kayaking, paddleboarding, snorkeling, a gym, spa facilities, and onboard entertainment.

The yacht operates carefully planned itineraries covering the highlights of Palau, including the Best of Palau route, seasonal bumphead parrotfish spawning dives, and optional trips to Peleliu. Guests can expect pristine coral reefs, thrilling drift dives, abundant marine life, and crystal-clear waters throughout the journey. With full-board accommodation, guided dives, transfers between Koror hotels and Malakal Port, WiFi, and onboard activities included, Black Pearl delivers a refined and effortless way to experience luxury liveaboard diving in Palau, blending adventure and comfort in perfect balance.
