“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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

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.

- Perfect adaptation to the conditions on site. Very security-conscious. Very friendly team.

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.
