Over a number of years and several visits to this lovely island we have been fortunate enough to experience several fishing trips and lagoon cruises with this truly excellent operator. Skipper Mike and his wife Mere make you feel like long-lost friends and even the rare fishless day is still a pleasure in their company. We can't speak highly enough... more

Black Pearl was the best 2 days of our Cook Island Holidays. Thanks to trip advisor we found Black Pearl Aitutaki prior to our departure and booked the boat for 2 full day charters. The first day we went snorkeling outside the lagoon, hand feed hundreds of fish, explored deserted islands, snorkeled heaps and saw some great coral, clams, and... more

This charter is run by a husband & wife team (Mike & Mere). These guys are just fantastic. We had a 1/2 day gamefishing charter with them, and enjoyed it so much we did a snorkelling trip with them a few days later. We'd done a great snorkelling trip with TeKing charters a few days earlier, but Mike & Mere... more

Whilst on a recent trip to Aitutaki I was fortunate enough to charter the Black Pearl for a couple of days. Fishing and just exploring the lagoon. The skipper Mike and his lovely wife Mere were the most amazing hosts. Mike had an extensive music collection on his boat and his freindly approach had us singing duets just minutes from... more
