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.

Don't dive Socorro with anyone else!
Obviously the diving was superlative. We saw everything we had come for, and the whale shark on the last two safety stops was a very unexpected and major bonus. Oscar and his crew were very focused on guest safety and made sure we were enjoying the diving at all times. Oscar flexed the schedule in response to our feedback giving us more time at one particular site. All of the dive guides were fantastic but a very special call out to Nikee whose sheer enthusiasm for everything we saw was wonderful to see. Ray and Ana as hosts kept all of the happy guests happy throughout the day and always noticed if we needed anything. Pancho's cooking was amazing! Overall this has been the best dive trip we have every been on and the Nautilus Belle Amie is highly recommended.

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...

Best diving trip of my career, thanks Belle Amie staff!
The customer service aspect really made my time aboard well worth the time and money. The food was absolutely delicious, and the dive sites and experienced dive masters made me feel comfortable under water. Every aspect of the trip was spot on, hats off to a phenomenal Nautilus operator. Will easily and gladly rebook next year!

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.
