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.

An unforgettable diving trip that lived up to my expectations!
A great experience- energetic dives with sharks, mantas, and more. There were a few dives that were a hit and miss, but overall the experience was memorable and truly special.

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.

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.

Mantas and sharks galore - feel and see the magic
A superb living boat experience in one of the best dive spots of the world. The archipelago Revillagigedo grants you a glimpse into the distant past of an unspoiled ocean. Mantas and sharks galore seasoned with the occasional experience of sea turtles, whale sharks, and dolphins. It is a must on the bucket list for divers loving the encounter with large pelagics. The giant mantas are very inquisitive and engage with divers regularly. The dive site “El Canyon” and “El Boiler” around the San Benedicto island are strong recommendations! The access to the dive sites is limited by the marine park authorities so a crowded dive feeling like in the Red Sea never emerges.

- Expertise and knowledge of dive guides. Friendliness and service orientation of hospitality staff. Comfort and space of the dive boat.

Best Trip of my Life!
I had one of the most beautiful trips of my life, the scuba diving was out of this world, I felt I was in a dream, with dolphins, giant mantas, hammer heads and all kinds of sharks, volcanic topography, wow! Also the crew so friendly and amazing, and the service was superb. It was worth every peso, I only want to do Liveaboard holidays from now on, especially with Nautilus, thank you!

The food, it was so delicious and there was a lot of it, you definitely won't be starving on the Liveaboard. The sea creatures, oh my goodness, the best diving of my life, I will never forget 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.

- The Captain and crew, super focused on safety and guest experience. Food and drink, as a vegetarian I was really well catered for with thoughtful and creative choices. The boat was well appointed and even though there were 32 guests there was always space for everyone.

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.
