Manta Queen 7 accommodates up to 24 guests in 11 air-conditioned cabins for diving trips in Thailand’s Andaman Sea. Each cabin is air‑conditioned, and most feature en‑suite bathrooms for added comfort. For those seeking a more budget‑friendly option, we also offer non‑ensuite cabins paired with well‑maintained shared facilities that are convenient, practical, and comfortable.

Between dives, guests can relax on the spacious sun deck or enjoy freshly prepared buffet meals in the open-air dining area, and there is a TV in the saloon. Tender trips ashore provide opportunities to explore the white-sand beaches of the Similan Islands.

Manta Queen 7 offers 5-day, 4-night itineraries with 15 dives, visiting the Similan Islands, Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, Richelieu Rock, and Boonsung Wreck. Experienced dive guides lead excursions to sites such as Elephant Head Rock, known for its dramatic underwater rock formations. Other highlights include opportunities to spot manta rays at Koh Bon and Koh Tachai and whale sharks at Richelieu Rock.

LiveAboard at Manta Queen 7 is worth repeating !
For me this was an amazing boattrip. Not only all the diving trips, which became nicer and nicer after every dive, but also all the food, starting with breakfast,food between the dives and the dinner were every day healthy and delicious. Coffee and water you can drink the whole day. The crew who helped us with everything about diving, were very helpful and friendly. Then last, but not least the diving instructors were all very competent and friendly people with a lot of knowledge about the underwater life. The cooks, the diving crew, the captain and the diving instructors worked all together as a great team. And I enjoyed the company of all the diving tourists who came from everywhere. Everyone has their own story. Everyday I became to know them better and better, including the cooks, the diving crew and the instructors. Fortunately I still have contact with some of them.

Great dives with great people
I had a very good time on their liveaboard trip. The dive guides and staff really care about us and make sure we have a great time. Ms Lin, who is the lead guide, is very knowledgable about the area and kind enough to share with us the footage she’s taken during the dives. Food on board is also great. We were fed well with 3 meals and 1 snack a day with tasty Thai/Asian food. Would recommend.

It is an experience that cannot be missed by a recreational diver
Without a doubt the wildlife that surrounds the Similn Islands is exceptional, worthy of the best dive sites in Asia and certainly Thailand for divers, and does not require a high level, mostly calm sea and visibility of 30 meters, what more could you ask for?In my case this is the second time I have done the Live a board in Similan, a fantastic experience.

Good choice for a diving liveaboard in Similian
Manta Queen is a good choice for a diving liveaboard in the Similian area. The company operates several boats; it is professional and the diving instructors, guides and crew were great. There was good planning and efficient execution of dives, with the guests split in two groups (with sub-groups of 2-3 divers per guide) to reduce the mess at the diving deck. On my trip the boat was at only about half of the occupancy, so it didn't feel too crowded (would probably be a lot at full capacity); the rooms are very small and I was happy to have a room for myself, it was simple but clean and comfortable for one person. The food was ok, I got pescatarian dishes, but in general options were limited and not too healthy. On the positive side, I loved that there was plenty of electrolytes to keep hydrated between dives. I also appreciated the complimentary pick-up and drop-off in Phuket. I've been in better boats elsewhere, but I have also been to a different one in Similian before and Manta Queen is among the best in this area.

Excellent Trip- Worth the experience
We loved the diving, crew, the divemasters and the service. The dive sites are beautiful. We went diving in some of the most amazing and healthy coral reefs we had ever seen. The cabins could be more comfortable and so could the eating area, however the food and service was great. I do wish and recommend the boat reduce its use of one-use plastics. They are talking about conservation but not applying it in their own company.

The liveaboard was organized very professionally by the local operator. The pick-up service from the hotel in Phuket worked very well. The rental equipment is in good condition. On the boat: relaxed atmosphere, motivated crew, food tip-top. Dive sites: it was planned from day to day (usually 4 dives per day). Summary: very worthwhile, great value for money, many great dives.
