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.

Comfortable spacious safety conscientious boat providing up close diving with the giant pacific manta and hammerheads!
Diving with the Nautilus Belle Amie was a most pleasant experience. The boat catered to all dietary needs, rooms were larger than most liveaboards I've been on, nitrox is available, and the boat was re-breather friendly. They focus on safety, providing each diver with a personal Nautilus Lifeline (GPS) unit to dive with, and always having a zodiac in the water watching while the different dive teams are out. The diving was so spectacular, I witnessed a plethora of sea life diving this bucket list place; schools of hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, Tiger shark, black Mantas up close, a pregnant hammerhead, listening to whales sing while diving, seeing a whale breach up close to the liveaboard, playing dolphins, watching silky sharks hunt, seeing a school of tuna and school of Pampano, as well as a very large tuna up close!

Ultimate whale shark on Belle Amie
This review is for the ultimate whale shark trip in the end of July. We did 15 dives and two 2.5hour snorkeling tours with whale sharks! The marine lives and corals were healthy and amazing the crew members were professional. Almost every dive, we were welcomed by sea lions! On the way back to La Paz, we also spent some time on a beautiful beach for snorkeling. Overall, it was a nice trip for anyone who loves whale sharks and/or sea lions under water!!

A dream come true.
I am a lover of sharks (especially great white sharks). I was thrilled by the moment on the last dive of the last day when a whale shark appeared that was with us along with the great white sharks.
