Advanced Technology Meets Environmental Stewardship on board Paspaley Pearl

The Paspaley Pearl represents boutique ship design at its finest, where her classification under 50 meters unlocks pristine destinations accessible only by small-group expeditions. With two Azipod thrusters powered by three diesel generators, this expedition vessel delivers unmatched manoeuvrability. Also, her purposeful proportions provide remarkable capability. 

Advanced systems demonstrate our environmental commitment: catalytic inverters reduce NOX emissions by 90%, heat recovery transforms engine heat into hot water, and dynamic positioning eliminates seabed-damaging anchors. Meanwhile, state-of-the-art stabilisers ensure exceptional comfort while advanced wastewater treatment protects pristine waters during Paspaley Pearl cruise experiences. 

The dual Starlink systems provide seamless connectivity, upgraded waste compactors minimise environmental impact, and thoughtful details like our dumbwaiter reflect operational efficiency. This expedition ship technology is designed for tomorrow’s explorers—sophisticated, sustainable, and utterly capable of accessing remote destinations. 

Our Expedition Ship:

Your Equipment

Paspaley Pearl is equipped with 2 uniquely designed expedition vessel boats with diesel, inboard motors. These Cairns manufactured aluminium boats provide comfortable exploration with shade canopy, forward and dry access to remote beaches, fishing, swimming and snorkelling platforms, operated by professional boat drivers. 

Complementing our boutique ship are two Mark V Zodiacs, perfect for mangrove exploring, transfers ashore for heli-flights, exploring, hiking, beach BBQs and sunset cocktails on pristine shores during Paspaley Pearl cruise adventures. 

We also have kayaks, paddle boards and snorkelling equipment for scuba diving opportunities. Also, guests can choose to fish with all equipment and expert guidance provided aboard this boutique ship. 

Shared adventures with kindred spirits in pristine wilderness locations through accessing remote destinations can be transformative, satisfying cultural and intellectual curiosity.
