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.

Thoroughly recommend this Liveaboard for the Sea of Cortez
Best liveaboard I’ve been on. The staff were great, relaxed but also always very professional. Food was good and the cabin was very comfortable and immaculately clean. Great bunch of guests too which also adds to the vibe. I’ll definitely be booking other trips Nautilus do such as Socorro.

Great trip!
I really enjoyed the enthusiasm of the divemasters-Stein, Carlos, Nico, and Jaime were all excellent. We saw five or six mantas, hammerheads, and dolphins on one dive. The divemasters could spot them well before they came into view, and they were just as excited as we were when they found something good. Lovely trip

A wonderful and memorable experience!
I realized that a lot of people in the world are not privileged to see such large majestic creatures up close and safely, which made me appreciate the experience so much more. I also enjoyed my time being surrounded by nature and hearing the sounds of the sea, as this was truly therapeutic. The supportive and helpful crew, who took the initiative to reach out and engage with me, made all the difference as well. I took pictures with them and included them on my FB page. Of course, traveling with fellow guests-- who at first were strangers-- and learning about their unique backgrounds, their enthusiasm and passion for the sea and their utmost friendliness also made the experience fun.

Manta diving at The Boiler - dive(s) of a lifetime !
Nice boat, great crew and service onboard. I was there solely for the manta diving experience and it did not disappoint !!! One of the dives there were 8-9 mantas loving on us and begging us not to leave , coming within inches of everybody back and forth - it was majestic and a surreal experience. We also saw several hammerheads (late June/early July) that were super curious & got close, and some tiger sharks sitings. I have 200 dives, and I would say personally ... I don't know if a dive can get better than a manta dive at The Boiler.

- Mantas !!!. Great crew, and captain was very informative / set expectations nightly. Food and beer selection - lots of IPAs and microbrews.
