“Great dives made even better by excellent guides and the best crew.”
Highlights
The 23m Marco Polo Liveaboard offers 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 en-suite bathrooms, catering to 12 guests. All cabins open onto the outer deck, giving 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 the shade. 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 dives and the sunset after the day's last dive.
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, while others may prefer more relaxed ones. 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 chosen based on the weather, drift, and traffic to avoid them getting too busy.

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.

Marco Polo Adventure
I recently had the pleasure of spending 6 days/6 nights on the Marco Polo Liveaboard run by Sea Bees for an adventure to the Similan Islands. The trip was great in every way. The Sea Bees Office Staff were friendly and welcoming The Marco Polo may be a small boat, but it is comfortable and friendly, the cabins are functional and more roomy than I expected and the size of the boat means everyone mixes ensuring a great atmosphere. The big plus is the Food is amazing The Dive Crew of Maren, Misha and Dave made the trip one to remember, thanks all. Especially Misha, who was mine and my buddies Dive Guide, for making trip one to remember I would 100% recommend Sea Bees and the Marco Polo

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!

The boat is small but with plenty of space, there are never more than 12 guests and that is very nice. The food is delicious and the staff on board are very nice and help you with everything. The cabins are small but with plenty of storage space and very clean. Before diving, they try to find the places where there are fewer other divers. They also take this into account with the dive times. All in all, highly recommended.

Great 3 days of diving Richelieu and surround
Richelieu Rock was fantastic. Lots of fish, octopus, eels, sharks, Lovely dawn and dusk dives. Food was fresh and plentiful. The cabins had more space than expected and the ensuite bathrooms are roomy with hot water showers. Plenty of room on deck to share experiences with other divers. The team on the dive deck were incredible, getting everyone quickly and safely in the zodiacs/water, and back on boat, double checking everyone's gear and refill air for next dive,
