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.

Top notch diving, delicious food, amazing memories and new friends.
I had an amazing adventure and highly recommended this trip to anyone even remotely interested. I went as a solo diver and had the best time making new friends and seeing incredible sights.

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.

Seeing ALL the things at Socorro!
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to see the giant mantas at Socorro. We were blessed with a manta-palooza as well as numerous species of sharks, dolphins, whale sharks, and frequent whale sightings. The diving operation was well organized and safely executed, and the dive guides were excellent. They also provided educational content every evening about the marine life we were encountering. Meals and snacks were plentiful and tasty, and provided with all dietary restrictions accommodated without hesitation. A personal highlight was the espresso machine that kept many of us from going into withdrawal!! We got one of the two deluxe suites on the main deck and the cabin was fantastic. I wouldn’t hesitate to venture out into the wild with the Nautilus Belle Amie again!

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.

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!!

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