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.

Amazing value for money!
We had a wonderful trip! Due to ridiculously high water temperature the diving wasn't quite what we expected (no sharks, mantas etc.), but we have literally zero regrets. The crew did everything they could and then some to provide us with a great experience. And the sea lions, oh my God, the sea lions! Also, I had probably the best night dive of my life with a gazillion small fish swimming around me, bumping my face, going through my hair... With mobulas hunting them! Loved it!!! The food was superb! Simple yet absolutely delicious. And I truly appreciated the crew bringing us iced drinks on every dive, before and after. That's some real dedication! Last but definitely not least, they purify ALL the water on the boat. Shower, tap, everything. You're in Mexico and you can drink tap water. As a European, I appreciated this beyond words!

The Belle Amie is the best of the best
This was our second trip on the Belle Amie and it did not disappoint! The crew is simply second to none and the boat is so comfortable. This was our first time diving sea of Cortez and while the water temperature didn’t cooperate so the big things went deeper, but we had so much fun at many of the dive sites with the sea lions. The captain went above and beyond setting up an ocean Safari day for us where we got in the water with pilot whales and a lovely wine and cheese sunset on a beach. We also got some time to snorkel with the sea lions, which was amazingCan’t wait to be back on board.

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!

COMPLETELY AWESOME EXPERIENCE!
This was my most awesome liveaboard to date! I've done seven so far, and two on the Nautilus fleet. This is the PLACE TO GO FOR GIANT MANTAs -- I've been back for a week and my dreams are still filled with memories. To accompany the awesome diving, the boat was nice - my shared room was comfortable enough to stay in beyond sleep, the dive crew was awesome, and the food was great.
