Launched by world-renowned Paspaley Pearls in 1979 as the lugger Dalumba, Kimberley Pearl originally worked the pearl shell grounds off Eighty Mile Beach and at Compass Rose. Following her retirement from the pearling industry, she has been fully transformed into a stylish and comfortable 12-passenger small ship allowing travellers to discover the wonders of the outback Kimberley Coast.
Kimberley Pearl boasts six air-conditioned cabins, a welcoming galley / saloon area which opens onto a spacious rear deck, ideal for al fresco dining and socialising after a busy day of exploration. There’s additional lounge seating positioned on the foredeck of the upper deck.
Her intimate size means that Kimberley Pearl is also an excellent – and affordable – choice for a group of friends seeking an exclusive Kimberley charter experience.
Kimberley Pearl travels with three excursion tenders (dinghies) allowing the flexibility for guests to tailor their own exploration. For those keen to try their hand at fishing, quality fishing gear is available on board for guest use, and the expert crew is always on hand to provide fishing tips and assist with baiting hooks.
