The luxury liveaboard yachts White Pearl and Black Pearl will immerse you in exceptional luxury and some of the world’s most extraordinary diving. The owner of the Pearl Fleet is an avid scuba diver. As he explored destinations around the world, he was often disappointed in the quality of the liveaboards he booked. He decided to invest in building the ultimate scuba diving liveaboards—yachts that had every amenity a diver could possibly need or desire on a liveaboard vacation.

You can choose among four itineraries in the Maldives aboard the 183-foot White Pearl—the Central Atolls (a classic Indian Ocean journey that includes walls, channel dives, and thrilling manta ray and whale shark encounters); Hanifaru Bay and Northern Atolls (a UNESCO reserve with dramatic thilas and mantas); South and Central Atolls (chan-nels packed with sharks, soft corals and mantas); and Wonders of the Deep South (encounters with bull, spinner, guitar, thresher and whale sharks). The amenities aboard this yacht—the largest superyacht in the Maldives—area liveaboard diver’s dream.

You’ll stay in one of 13 opulent rooms, including a master suite with a private balcony, two junior cabins and 10 deluxe cabins. All the cabins have en suite bathrooms, large windows, sea views, TVs, Wi-Fi, international plugs, USB charging ports and individually controlled air-conditioning. White Pearl has a pool, Jacuzzi, spa, gym, two cocktail bars, entertainment room, and multiple outdoor and indoor lounges where you can relax, read a book or sip a cocktail. The restaurant prepares three buffet-style meals daily, plus snacks.

The dive deck is spacious and accommodates divers and their gear comfortably. There is a spacious camera room with multiple camera stations for underwater photographers. Diving is done from three tenders. The 153-foot Black Pearl—the largest superyacht in Palau—takes a spectacular route through these awe-inspiring Pacific Ocean islands, where you’ll experience exhilarating drift dives, sharks, manta rays, caves and caverns, World War II wrecks, a jellyfish lake and beautiful coral reefs.

In season, you may experience bumphead parrotfish or red snapper spawning events. Custom-built for divers, Black Pearl features 12 accommodation choices, including two master upper-deck seaview cabins, four sea-view cabins and six deluxe cabins. All cabins have en suite bathrooms, large windows or portholes, air-conditioning, international plugs and USB charging ports.
