  • 2 Comments on Annual Shipyard Refit Continues – How do we get the Ships out of the Water?
By Nautilus Staff on July 12th, 2017 in Captain Mike, Crew

I often get asked how the heck we get a 1 million pound plus dive boat out of the water…Good question!! We have used a number of different techniques over the years from a “railway” which is indeed just as it sounds – a railway track into the water with massive supports, and a heavy […]

Shipyard renovation and refit of the Nautilus Undersea continues – whoohooo! The featured photo is of the new main salon under construction that will extend aft into the old dive deck, with a separate lounge sitting area with big comfy couches on one side and dining room on the other side. Most exciting of all […]

Shipyard madness before start of Guadalupe great white shark season! Well, it’s refit – ie. that time of the year when all 3 ships get pulled out of the water for shaves and haircuts (which is what sailors call cleaning up their ship and painting the bottom), engine replacement, major overhauls, upgrades and lots of […]

The Nautilus Explorer and the Swell are our pride and joy. Each boat gets hauled out of the water every year for refit and makeover. We all get involved and work very long days over 3 weeks tiddlying things up with fresh paint and varnish, making improvements, overhauling machinery and conducting annual survey and audit […]

The good news is that the crew and I and a host of shoreside support workers (there are almost 30 of us!!) have been swarming the ship like busy ants and the Nautilus will once again be shiny and fresh and spotlessly clean with all sorts of improvements when we board our first Canada trip this coming Saturday…  I can feel the soul of the ship rapidly getting re-energized and ready for sailing!! We can’t wait.
