About Kimberley Pearl
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.
Dining aboard the Kimberley Pearl is a true highlight, and you will have a fully-qualified chef at your service right throughout your expedition. Of course, the Kimberley’s abundant seafood is a feature of the menu, with the day’s catch of mud crabs, barramundi and mangrove jack taking centre stage at dinner. Meals are typically served buffet-style although, on occasion, a limited a la carte menu is offered.
Kimberley Pearl’s galley is at the very heart of the ship. Open plan, guests are welcome to watch the chef in action, ask questions and perhaps even learn a trick or two!
Kimberley Pearl is not licensed for the sale of alcohol, however the crew will be delighted to purchase your preferred alcohol on your behalf ahead of time and have it chilled upon your arrival.
