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.

Ultimate whale shark on Belle Amie
This review is for the ultimate whale shark trip in the end of July. We did 15 dives and two 2.5hour snorkeling tours with whale sharks! The marine lives and corals were healthy and amazing the crew members were professional. Almost every dive, we were welcomed by sea lions! On the way back to La Paz, we also spent some time on a beautiful beach for snorkeling. Overall, it was a nice trip for anyone who loves whale sharks and/or sea lions under water!!

Very good understanding between the passengers and good constitution of the diving groups. The sites are exceptional, especially The Boiler and Roca Partida. It was a festival of oceanic mantas.

Incredible experience in a beautiful dive location, led by great crew
The highlights of this trip are the animals - the reason we travel to Revillagigedos to dive. The curious and playful dolphins, the mysterious hammerheads, and the amazing majestic mantas will bring us back for sure!

Amazing dive vacation on the Belle Amie
Diving Socorro on the Belle Amie did not disappoint. We saw schooling scalloped hammerheads, giant oceanic mantas, dolphins, and many other shark species. The weather was perfect and the crew went above and beyond to make this dive trip unforgettable.

A truly memorable experience with friendly staff, excellent food and the most amazing diving.
We picked this trip as we had never seen an oceanic manta, they did not disappoint. In addition we saw dolphins up close underwater and numerous species of shark not seen before plus, on one dive, several amazing encounters with a whale shark. The organisation by the crew to ensure we had the best experience whilst on the boat was truly exceptional, nothing seemed too much trouble. Although the diving was intense, when out of the water we were able to relax and felt cared for by all the staff. Such a good trip with great memories to look back on, until the next time...

Trip of a lifetime
I had the best time of my life in Gadualupe. In October and November, expect to see bigger females. I saw many sharks. I particularly enjoyed shark ID at the end of the day when we identified the sharks we saw from the shark log. The crew and other passengers onboard were all fantastic people.

Fantastic week, diving with amazing wildlife in Socorro, on board a great ship
I have never been on a live aboard before - so was a little anxious as to whether I would like it. The Nautilus Belle Amie is an amazing ship, perfectly set up for diving, but also a wonderful ship on which to spend a week. Sure, it isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for, and I thoroughly recommend this ship
