The Staff Was World-Class

I couldn’t recommend the Nautilus more. It was such a great week sailing the Sea of Cortez. The accommodations were impeccable, the food was delicious, and the staff was world-class. Safety on the boat was taken very seriously. The diving was beautiful. I can’t wait for my next trip with Nautilus.

Felt like a Real Escape from Reality

Not to mention some of the fantastic sea life I saw on the various sites, incredible food, and stunning pictures from the fantastic camera and video crew. My sincere thanks to everyone who made such an effort to make this trip memorable, and helped me disconnect from reality in the best way possible while spending an incredible getaway with my dad and new friends I met onboard.

To say our day was spectacular is an understatement

Today was our first day in the Sea of Cortez. Although we were scheduled to visit la Isla de Guadalupe, when that trip was cancelled, the entire Nautilus team worked so hard to open up this trip to the Sea of Cortez. We are so appreciative of all of the time, work, and generosity that went into this alternative trip.

Everything about the Sea of Cortez trip was incredible!

I had originally booked a solo trip to Guadalupe Island with Nautilus Liveaboards for the summer and was disappointed at first that the island closed. Nautilus offered a Sea of Cortez trip instead. I was pretty nervous because I’m not a diver, and it’s a very dive-centered trip but it ended up feeling like a blessing in disguise!

Safety Protocols Were the Best I’ve Seen

This crew worked tirelessly to give us the best possible experience. They went over and above! Poncho the chef is superb and Favi’s cookies should be sold internationally. Very genuinely wonderful people all. Patient, kind, smiling…always attentive. The craft is clean, and well taken care of, and safety protocols were the best I’ve seen. Juan was a superb dive master. Great job All

People Coming for the First Liveaboard Will Get Spoiled

The service on the Explorer is so good. People coming for the first liveaboard will get spoiled. This trip has been fantastic. I’m so happy. The sperm whales were incredible. Also, I’ve never been with sea lions and I got a hug from one of them! I’ve never dived in water so warm and it’s fantastic and has been a different experience.

My Wife and Dive Buddy Are Already Talking About Planning Another Trip with Nautilus

We are headed back to port. I did not know what to expect on my first liveaboard trip, but any expectations that did float around in my head were far exceeded. Every person on the staff was fantastic, helpful, thoughtful, and kind. They even noticed that I was also interested in the nonmarine life of the region and offered to take me on a skiff around the small islands so I could get some photographs of the birds, as well as the seals and sea lions basking on the shores. One trip was only the group of three I came with and another time completely by myself. Despite a busy schedule, they made doing all of this possible without missing a dive. The diving was also fantastic. A few dives with very playful sea lions and fur seals, an incredible amount of interesting fish, eels, rays, snails, nudibranchs, shrimp, etc… Oh I didn’t mention we started our trip by snorkeling with sperm whales and mobula rays!
