  • Sister ship to the Nautilus Belle Amie, the 115ft (35m) Nautilus Explorer Liveaboard was custom built for divers to explore the amazing sites of Guadalupe and the Socorro Islands, Mexico. The Nautilus Explorer liveaboard comprises 13 cabins, ranging from a cost effective mixed-gender triple occupancy stateroom to a luxurious premium suite. On the lower deck are 8 Twin/Double cabins and 1 Triple Cabin. The hot tub deck has 3 Superior Suites and the Premium Suite which features a separate lounge and floor to ceiling picture window. All cabins are equipped with individually controlled AC and private en-suite bathrooms.

    The Nautilus Explorer has many well-designed social areas. There are two upper-floor sun-decks and a hot-tub deck where guests can relax with a glass of wine or frosty beer. The main salon is located in front of the dive deck and has large panoramic windows and furnished with couches, a dedicated PC and Mac computer for video editing and a 42-inch plasma TV. Onboard dining consists of freshly made dishes, including homemade bread and pastries, soups combining North American, European and Mexican flavours. You can chose your dining experience; either an amazing buffet or a sit-down dinner. Lots of fruit, snacks, appetizers and even an on-deck barbecue.

    The Nautilus Explorer schedules itineraries to the incredible sites of the Socorro Islands, famous for manta rays, humpback whales and huge schools of fish, or on exhilarating great white cage diving in Guadalupe. There is also nitrox available for certified divers and the Nautilus Explorer is rebreather friendly.
