“Great dives made even better by excellent guides and the best crew.”
Highlights
The 23m MV Marco Polo Liveaboard offers 3/2, 4/4, and 6/7 day/night dive trips to the Similans, Surin, and Richelieu Rock from November to April. The boat has 6 air-conditioned double cabins with ensuite bathrooms, catering to 12 guests. All cabins open to the outer deck to give guests the full benefit of the cool sea breeze. There are only 3 dive groups on board, guaranteeing excellent service, stress-free set-ups, and fewer divers on the dive sites.
After dives, the Party deck offers plenty of room to enjoy meals and relax in a shaded space. The spacious indoor salon with TV and music station lets guests view underwater footage or listen to music. This is also where all the freshly cooked meals will be served - a mix of international and Thai cuisine prepared by an experienced Thai cook. Upstairs, guests will find the cozy Sundeck, where they can enjoy their time between the dives and the sunset after the last dive of the day.
Diving takes place at the best dive sites in the Similan Islands, at Koh Bon, Koh Tachai, and Richelieu Rock. With only 12 divers on board, the Marco Polo is very flexible and can schedule more advanced dive sites for the more experienced divers on board, while others may prefer more relaxed dive sites. The Plateau and its nearby Pinnacle at Koh Tachai and Koh Bon’s Pinnacle and The Ridge are close to the fantastic Richelieu Rock and are solid components of the Marco Polo's dive schedule. In the Similans, the best dive sites are picked depending on the weather, drift, and traffic to avoid dive sites getting too busy.

Having done one live-aboard previously this was on another level comfort and well organised.
I found the trip extremely professional and detailed. The pre dive plans, the itinerary the captain and all his staff were superb. So helpful and friendly.

The Marco Polo is a great boat with top-notch handling
Nice experience aboard a simple boat but with very good quality of service. The staff is excellent. We really enjoyed the dives, with spots really full of marine life

Marco Polo exceeds expectations
My overall experience was nearly perfect. The crew, the food, and the boat itself have to be to be one of the best options in Thailand. Experienced dive masters and the small dive groups made this one of the best trips I’ve had on a liveaboard.

A Fantastic Liveaboard Adventure
This was my first ever liveaboard snd definitely not my last. The crew was so friendly, The cooks were absolutely incredible and blew me away how they could cook such amazing food on a very rough sea. The dive guides were excellent, anything you were really hoping to see they would do their best to keep a lookout, I was desperate go see octopus and i saw loads! Big thanks to Sidrid for being amazing and Mike for the detailed dive briefings!

Perfect sized boat
Was a great trip on a small friendly boat. We mostly managed to dive away from other boats which made the trip much better. Would recommend the boat

The Similan and Surin National Parks trips aboard the Marco Polo is a can’t miss trip.
This was my second time aboard the Marco Polo and I’m a repeat guest from last year for good reason. The diving in Thailand is amazing and I can’t get enough of Similan and Surin National Parks. The Scuba here is world class, and the meals between dives are delicious. Dave was our dive guide for this trip and was a lot of fun to be in the water with. He did a great job of communicating, pointing out marine life, and keeping the group safe.

Good for short live delegations
The Marco Polo is a small diving boat modernized, equipped with about 8 cabins each with AC and private bathroom but you can see the traces of time. Good for short live sessions (3T2N). Staff very friendly and the food was amazing.
