MV Manta Queen 6

At 25 meters in length, Manta Queen 6 is among the smaller liveaboards, but still has an excellent service & safety record. Many guests enjoy and recommend diving safaris on this popular boat. Manta Queen 6 is ideal for pairs of travellers and those on their own. There are far fewer people (14) aboard this liveaboard boat than most other liveaboards, thus ensuring more friendly and enjoyable trips. 

Manta Queen 6 is a great boat for exploring the Similan Islands and Richelieu Rock. She finds a good balance between size (comfort & stability) and keeping things more personal & friendly. She offers her passengers the chance to socialize in small groups as well as hide away from others and relax. There are seven twin-bed cabins. The wood-lined cabins are clean and cozy, with air-conditioning and en suite European bathrooms. However, it is worth noting that two cabins share each bathroom. This is easily done by the bathrooms having two doors, one for each cabin. Access is direct, making them 'en suite.' There are other bathrooms on the boat, too. Thai and Western cuisine is served several times throughout each day and evening, with inexpensive beer available to buy after the final dive.

Like all of the Manta Queen fleet, Manta Queen 6 Similan Islands liveaboard offers incredibly good-value cruises. In addition, the prices include all meals, tea & coffee, fruit & snacks, drinking water and even pick up and drop off from local hotels & resorts. However, regardless of the price, diving aboard Manta Queen 6 is still a safe & comfortable experience. The staff are qualified, well trained and service minded. The equipment is all in excellent working order and nothing is left to chance. 

There is free Wi-Fi on Manta Queen 6. This signal relies on local cellular signals, which varies throughout the route.

Please note that some other websites show Manta Queen 6's trips to be 4D/3N or 5D/4N or to the Southern Andaman from Krabi, and they even show a low daily rate. This is incorrect and very misleading. The trips depart in the evening and return in the afternoon (around 68 hours later), so they are clearly not four days in length even though they do span four calendar dates. The trip price of approximately should therefore not be divided by 4 days to make a daily rate. From November 2024 Manta Queen 6 is running trips from Khao Lak to the Similans and Richelieu Rock.
