“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.

The Similan and Surin National Parks trips aboard the Marco Polo is something you have to experience at least once.
This was my third 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 meals between dives are probably the best of any Liveaboard in Thailand.

A great diving experience on the Marco Polo!
This was our first liveaboard ever and we enjoyed every moment very much. The absolute highlight was three dives at Richelieu Rock with an incredible underwater world. The atmosphere on board was very pleasant, which led to a very relaxed smoking experience. We highly recommend the liveaboard on the Marco Polo.

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.

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.

Amazing, learn a lot, good experience.
Our first liveaboard, need to fight sea sickness, generally ok. Crews and guides are very helpful and nice. Richelieu Rock and Boonsung wreck really amazing, a must visit for diver. Since we joined a three days trip, to save time, needed to sail at night, bad sleep for that night.

- Nice crew and professional guide. Free nitrox. Good time management.
