“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.

Wonderful dive experiences with friendly crews
I had an incredible experience with 15 spectacular dives over 4 nights, supported by an amazing crew! The carefully selected dive sites far exceeded my expectations. Richeliue Rock and the Boonsung Wreck are truly unforgettable dive spots—you won't be disappointed. A big shoutout to the fantastic dive masters, Chris, Mike, and Cheng! They are incredibly knowledgeable and approachable, making each dive a unique and enjoyable experience. I also loved the endless supply of delicious Thai food and fresh fruits provided between dives—it was the perfect way to recharge. I’m completely satisfied with both the dives and the onboard service. 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,

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.

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.
