Inclusions The PASPALEY name is inextricably linked with the iconic Kimberley coast. Almost 100 years ago, 19-year-old Nicholas Paspaley, MBE bought his very first pearling lugger. At the time, Broome, Cossack and Darwin were the world`s most significant pearling ports. The 1950s brought dramatic change to the natural pearl industry and Paspaley became innovators in the new Australian pearl cultivating industry, inspired by the success of the approach in Japan. Today, due to the superior and widely recognised quality of the South Sea Pearls created by Paspaley, they are regarded in a category of their own and are most commonly recognised simply as `Paspaley Pearls`.

The extensive experience gained in navigating the remote Kimberley coast ensures Paspaley`s library of unique destinations and `secret spots` is unparalleled. Join a select group of like-minded travellers onboard this boutique expedition motor yacht, PASPALEY PEARL, and discover a Kimberley coast unravelled over 100 years of exploration.

From the Dampier Peninsula in the South to the Bonaparte Archipelago in the North, the Southern Kimberley coast is one of the remotest locations in Australia. The Buccaneer Archipelago is regarded as one of the most spectacular island groups in Australia, offering a veritable playground of unique experiences. Collier Bay and Camden Sound are home to the second largest tides in the world, creating unique tidal phenomena such as Horizontal Falls (Garaanngaddim) and Montgomery Reef (Yowjab). The adjacent Prince Regent National Park is one of Australia`s most important conservation sites, regarded for its `outstanding scenic grandeur` and containing half of the known bird and animal species in the Kimberley.

Each Pearling coast itinerary will include an exclusive visit to a working Paspaley Pearl farm. Guests will witness first-hand the detail and care that is required to produce the most beautiful pearls in the world. Each visit will be closely coordinated with Paspaley operations to coincide with their activities at one of their locations along the Kimberley coast.
