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.

Top notch diving, delicious food, amazing memories and new friends.
I had an amazing adventure and highly recommended this trip to anyone even remotely interested. I went as a solo diver and had the best time making new friends and seeing incredible sights.

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.

One of the best trips I’ve ever had
It was an amazing trip. The diving was incredible and the crew worked extremely hard. The dive guides (Ivan, Pascal, Nikes, Slavic and Roger) were amazing. There is a significant focus on safety of both divers and marine life. I particularly enjoyed the marine presentations in the evenings. I’m planning to come back in a couple of years. Highly recommended.

Bravo Nautilus Belle Amie!
The trip was perfect. I felt comfortable with the staff and crew. Everyone was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. They were readily available. The room was nice with good hot showers. All of the staff was fantastic from Julio the chef to Mar and Osa, all of the Dive Masters were great, including Pascal, Enrique, Diego, Juan, etc. Ask the Captain was also fantastic. Overall, it was a great trip.

No regrets, only fun!
The welcome is warm and well organized. The boat is comfortable and robust (it's reassuring in view of the crossing). The overall friendly atmosphere but most importantly the fantastic dives!!

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.

Perfect trip start to finish. Every member of the staff was a pleasure, the boat ran more smoothly than any I've been on, and the diving was all I hope for and more. Excellent food, professional guides, and great value.
