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.

Great trip for individuals who are passionate about viewing big animals like Mantas and sharks.
Wild life was incredible. Oceanic mantas and silky sharks on nearly every dive. Also spotted Galapagos sharks, hammerheads, dolphins , and schooling fishes.

Fantastic diving with a good crew
One of the best liveaboards I've been on! The crew and guides were very friendly, knowledgeable, and very good at their jobs. Socorro is an amazing destination for pelagic life and dramatic vertical wall dive sites.

Great Trip!
Pretty chill trip. The dive sites were not as good as Cocos island honestly, but the crew were awesome and the vessel were comforable (had good sleep every day which is not common for liveaboard). You can do 4 dives a day if you want though I mostly of the time only do 3 dives which is far than enough.

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!!

Best diving ever
Truly a magical trip. We saw everything we could wish for from whale sharks to hammerheads to dolphins - and of course, the friendliest Mantas you will ever find! I think we saw at least one friendly Manta almost every dive, up till the very last dive where one Manta came around to say good bye and circled one of the groups at least 7 times!! And you can't forget how wonderful the crew was. They truly went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were met. Can't thank them enough for a wonderful trip. A bucket list trip for all divers, highly recommend!
