At Pearl Fleet, we strive to provide our guests with a seamless and enjoyable cruise experience. If you have any specific dietary needs or allergies, please inform us when making your reservation. Our dedicated chefs are eager to accommodate your requests whenever feasible. It’s important to note that being situated on a remote island like Palau may limit the availability of certain foods and ingredients. Therefore, if you have highly restrictive dietary requirements or require a particular ingredient, kindly bring it along with you at your own expense.

Guests will receive a final invoice listing their extra costs on the final night before disembarkation. Invoices are payable:

By Cash:

We accept American Dollars (USD).

Via Credit Cards:

We accept the following major credit cards:

• VISA

• Mastercard

• American Express

• Union Pay

• Discover

International sockets that can fit any type of electric plug are available onboard. Voltage is 220V.

The camera station also provides a variety of sockets and USB ports that should cater to your batteries and charging systems.

There may be limited or no access to mobile networks once the yacht sails into a remote area or open sea. However, M/Y Black Pearl offers SIM card services for you to purchase and use during the cruise. Please share your passport copy with us one week in advance to purchase the SIM card.

We recommend all divers to have a minimum 50 logged dives, with a minimum certification level of Advanced Open Water.

If you have less than the above minimum recommendations stated above, please reach out to us. There are three options for you:

We can arrange for a private dive guide for you, if a request is made a minimum of one month before departure. This extra service is at additional cost and subject to availability.

You can get certified as an Advanced Open Water Diver onboard.

You can do more dives to prepare yourself for the trip.

We recommend a skills review if guests with a limited number of logged dives have not been diving for more than 6 months. The skills review should be completed prior to arrival. Evidence of the date of your last dive should be shown in your log book and indicated at the time of the booking. Every diver, regardless of their qualification or experience, will be required to participate in a check-dive.

Cruise directors may ask you to skip a dive if your ability does not fit with the dive conditions. Full moon trips have some dives such as the spawning of the Red snapper that require a certain experience.

Yes, 15-liter tanks are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. They can also be pre-booked. They are subject to extra cost, payable onboard. Please refer to our detailed Price List here.

Non-divers can snorkel when the area around the dive site is suitable while under the supervision of a snorkel guide, as required by Palau’s laws. We can arrange a snorkel guide if the request is made a minimum of one month before departure, subject to additional charges.
