Highlights
Custom-built for divers, the Nautilus Belle Amie ship is the largest of the Nautilus Liveaboards’ fleet. With amenities akin to a floating boutique hotel, and a reputation for offering high-level service on board, the Nautilus Belle Amie accommodates 32 guests in 17 en-suite staterooms and suites. On the lower deck are 8 twin staterooms plus one affordable triple occupancy stateroom. The main deck has 2 premium suites, and 6 superior suites are on the wheelhouse deck. Bedding in the suites can be converted to twins or doubles. All rooms also feature individually controlled air-conditioning.
On the main deck is a large salon and dining area, where a fusion of Mexican and West Coast North American food is served. All dietary requirements, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, food allergy options, and quasi-kosher, can be catered to with prior notice. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks are buffet-style, and the evening meal is served plated buffet or family-style. There are two fully-stocked extensive bars on board, which include single malts, microbrews, and a large selection of wine. The large sun deck has space for everyone to enjoy lounging in the sun and a hot tub to warm up in-between dives or enjoy after diving with a drink and snack.
The heavy steel construction with stabilization of the Nautilus Belle Amie liveaboard means she was perfectly designed for ocean crossings to get divers to the world-class dive sites of the Socorro Islands or over to Guadalupe for up-close encounters with great white sharks. From November - June, the Socorro Islands are open to offering some of the best diving in the world. Friendly mantas, dolphins, humpback whales, pilot whales, and up to 10 species of shark are just some of the marine encounters the Socorro Islands offer. Or for those who want to get up close with great white sharks, the Guadalupe season offers from July - November each year. The large dive deck, onboard nitrox, and 3 large dive skiffs ensure an easy diving experience.

Exceeded expectations!!
Just off the boat diving at Socorro with Nautilus on the Belle Amie and man, it did not disappoint! Firstly, the boat and the crew were exceptional. You could never go hungry on that boat, Chef Julio cooked up a storm every day and was the happiest person. Then all the different nationalities and ages of the passengers really made the experience. We were blessed to see giant mantas in abundance, white & silver tip sharks, Galapagos and hammers. The highlight for me was the whale shark who made an appearance 8 out of 8 times at one location. If you’re on the fence about booking it, just do it.

Fantastic trip
The diving was incredible and exceeded all my expectations. I went from never having seen a manta ray to thinking "Oh, just anther manta" after a few days. The encounters were incredible-- mantas, soooo many sharks, dolphins, big schools of fish. Just stunning. The boat was lovely and the crew was spectacular on every level. I had the worst room and it was still comfortable! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for pelagic encounters, a comfortable trip with a professional staff that makes you feel right at home.

A brilliant and truly memorable experience on the Nautilus Belle Amie.
I had a fantastic dive trip on the Nautilus Belle Amie. The diving was superb. The crew were super friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding. The boat was great and safety was a huge priority for the staff. The whole operation was very slick and professional. I look forward to joining the Nautilus Belle Amie for another dive trip in the future!

Best Trip of my Life!
I had one of the most beautiful trips of my life, the scuba diving was out of this world, I felt I was in a dream, with dolphins, giant mantas, hammer heads and all kinds of sharks, volcanic topography, wow! Also the crew so friendly and amazing, and the service was superb. It was worth every peso, I only want to do Liveaboard holidays from now on, especially with Nautilus, thank you!

Trip of a Lifetime
Crew were so fun, very skilled and some, like David, went the extra mile making me feel welcome, saying hi when I was sitting by myself (I was there alone) and bringing my weights back to cubby every trip (we usually had to grab our own) and making an awesome video at end of the trip. The sea life was amazing and saw many things on my bucket list. Beds were super comfy too. Just a FANTASTICO trip all around.
