Palau Yacht Charter
Palau and its surrounding seas are an absolute treasure trove of natural wonders situated within the remote South Pacific, making it a destination best explored by luxury charter yacht.
The Milky Way on Koror Island to the south of Palau has beautiful milky turquoise waters for swimming, kayaking and snorkelling. The white mud can be used as a natural spa treatment, and once applied visitors can relax and dry off in the sunshine before removing it all with a dip into the warm water to compare the results.
One of its greatest charms is the stingless jellyfish lake: Located a short cruise south of Palau within the Rock Islands archipelago, this land-locked marine lake is just a 10 minutes height up a hill from the shores.
There are many other fantastic experiences to be had with wildlife in the open water: Gear up to drift dive at the magnificent 'Blue Corner', where sea wrasse, neon-coloured anthias and butterflyfish cruise by as you watch sea turtles and sharks swimming around the reef. Swim through the Chandelier Caves and the Siaes Tunnel, take in the beautiful blue holes of Ngemelis and drift again with the Peleliu Express.
Fishing enthusiasts will also have some amazing spots and impressive pelagic species to occupy the afternoons. Giant trevally, sailfish tuna, wahoo and blue marlin are just some of the possibilities you can catch and have served up for lunch, prepared by your expert on board chef.
Spend some time on land and among the lush forest on a trek to the Ngardmau Waterfalls, and learn about the local past and present at the Belau National Museum, where crafts and relics are placed within the stunning traditional buildings.
Koror is the largest town among the islands and has plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars for dining and entertainment, and the shops offer boutique shopping, locally made art and traditional markets for authentic mementos of your Palau yacht charter.
The stone monoliths are ancient landmarks that can be visited within a morning, leaving the rest of the day free for sunbathing on the golden sand beaches or for a tour to spot and photograph the local wildlife: Hawksbill and green turtles can be sighted on the beaches, and three other turtle species pass through Micronesian waters. The bird life is just as alluring with endemic species like the Palauan flycatcher a memorable addition to your holiday snaps.
Visitors interested in WWII history will find plenty of wrecks of various shapes, sizes and depths surrounding Palau and in the wider Micronesia cruising grounds, and Koror has dedicated museums worth a look.
Palau is an enchanting destination that caters to all kinds of private yacht charter holidays, from multi-generational families to couples on their honeymoon. There are options for sailing yachts and motor yachts is the best way to make efficient use of your time, cruising while you relax on board or sleep so that you can wake up each day in a new location and fit in as many activities as you desire.

Positive CharterWorld Customer Review: "Hi Nick, to be perfectly honest I don’t think there was a single thing wrong in any way! The boat and the staff were all terrific! I think we are planning to do it all again in a few years as we had a lazy week and didn’t catch a Marlin….so we would definitely want the boat again, which must speak volumes. Kind regards P - BELUGA" Yacht Charter / Great Barrier Reef / October
Hi Nicolas, Overall, the crew was very good - professional and pleasant. Sporting activities were better organised this year - the guys really knew what they were doing and were doing an outstanding job keeping everyone happy - thats Marc, Billy and Fraser. Great service throughout the trip. I have to mention that we were surprised by the beauty of the islands and Croatia. Since we only went half way, we were thinking of coming back next year and starting further up north. Something to think about. The boat is well maintained. Charter on AUSTRALIS in Croatia.
The trip Was very good, thanks for asking. Dan and Steph do a great job and would recommend them unreservedly. KM chartered LUPA OF LONDON in Corsica September
Trina - Our trip was wonderful. The crew on the Miss Kulani was awesome, the boat, the islands and the weather were amazing as well. I would like to put in a strong recommendation for your other customers for Tahiti charters and if the price range is appropriate - the Miss Kulani. It seems a perfect place for novice sailors to go given the unique way in which each island is surrounded by a lagoon. The voyages between the islands are generally an hour or two and then it is like you are in a lake with calm and clear waters of the lagoons. Obviously all the islands are amazing as well. The crew on the Miss Kulani were excellent. Especially Captain Stanley - even though his English was modest - but his intimate knowledge of the area was very valuable. The first mate - Francis - was incredible. He was born in Tahiti, but has an American father and spent 4 years in the US, so his English is excellent. He was so attentive and welcoming and saw to it that every need we had was met. He was particularly gracious to my mother and father-in-law who are in the mid 70s. All in all it was a highly successful first charter for our family. I would love to see others introduced to the same charter experience on the Miss Kulani - I think you would have many very happy customers. T chartered MISS KULANI in Tahiti, July
We were most pleased. I cannot commend enough our Captain and crew. We loved DRUMBEAT and would highly recommend it's charter to all. Thank you for accommodating us on such short notice. M.W from USA chartered in Vanuatu, South Pacific, in July
Dear Nicolas, - Once again, many thanks for arranging this charter. For the boat - great in terms of overall layout - spacious rooms in brand new condition. Lots of space to move around and plenty of space for 10 passengers. Also good space on the deck - especially on the triboard which is well protected from the sun - we spent a lot of time there. Technically in very good condition - great ventilation and stabilisers. No smell of diesel whatsoever - engine room well pressurised and in immaculate condition. Boat was very stable throughout and not noisy during the night passages. Lots of toys on board - all brand new. They will have their own seabobs next yeat (very popular toy for us and especially the kids). Great idea with the slide from the top deck.. The crew definitely made this a fantastic journey - it will be hard to find better. Great service - discreet and nice without being invasive. Always new decorative touches during lunch and dinner. Candles in the evening. We were pleasently surprised because they had a lot of initiative in that sense. Unpacked our bags and hung everything in a tidy manner. Beds always prepared twice a day. Crew very helpful with the toys - we were very demanding in that sense since we wanted everything prepared for the morning - and we required a lot of stuff to be prepared and in the water. Chef is great - always fresh food and great recepies - this boat deserves to be qualified as a michelin star restaurant. Great breakfast and amazing desserts. So overall - great experience. We would also like to thank you for organising the charter and the embarkment which was very efficient and stress free. I realise that you had to coordinate a lot of things at the last minute. We will be getting in touch with you for our future charters. Charter on AUSTRALIS around Naples & Amalfi.
