“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.

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.

Truly exceptional start to the year.
Amazing. Beautiful dive sites, beautiful crew, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. My dive master Heide was dedicated to our group at all times to make sure we got the best out of every dive and time together on the boat. The boat crew went above and beyond what I would have expected, even observing how we like our hot drinks served, helping us with all our equipment, making us laugh, keeping us well fed with tasty freshly cooked food and making sure the boat was always spotless. The Captain was calm and confident. Always in touch with other boats to make sure we were safe and if there was something exciting to see, giving us every opportunity to find it. The tour guide Maren was always smiling, attentive and able to answer any question about the dive sites, particularly about fish identification. Although Ralph the second dive master wasn’t my guide, he made himself available to answer questions, made us laugh lots and was simply a really lovely person to spend time with. Wishing all the crew a fun and safe season. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the boat. Sadly I tried to book more nights but it was fully booked. Another time. Chloe

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,

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.

A perfect getaway
It was always looked at first how many other boats were on site at the time and what the diving conditions were. Then it was decided in which order to proceed. As a result, it was not too crowded anywhere. The safety aspect was always in the foreground and you felt in good hands. The diving landscape at the Similans is fantastic anyway, if you go there, everything is right.
- Recommended for
- Perfect adaptation to the conditions on site. Very security-conscious. Very friendly team.

100% worth it
Richeliu is a top 10 in the world for diving, 3 dives there are worth the whole trip, the weather didn't help much and I recommend you to check your equipment before setting sail because I struggled with the size of the fins and the vest
