Nautilus Gallant Lady adds to the Nautilus Fleet & increases the spaces available to divers in the Sea of Cortez. She's 116 feet (35 meters) but accommodates just 12 guests.
“Gallant Lady, completely refit in 2020, takes only 12 divers to some seriously exciting encounters with pelagic animals. Diving with only a dozen people is ideal in my mind & brings back happy memories of the Red Sea liveaboard I worked on in the ’80’s … but, the real excitement here revolves around all the marine life in the islands we know as Socorro. Pelagic diving supreme !” Dominick Macan

Nautilus Gallant Lady has been totally refit to please the crowds. The boat is topped by a crow’s nest, great for spotting animal movements. The bridge, located below the crow’s nest, is open 24 hours a day to guests and just behind the bridge, you’ll find the open-air sky lounge, featuring comfortable seating (sofa-style benches, lounge chairs & deck chairs). This area is terrific for sun-lovers …. and for star-watchers at night.
On the large bow section of the main deck you’ll find the hot tub and cushioned seating. Inside on this level is a well-equipped dining room / salon with TV, DVD, sound system and plenty of CDs and movie.
The dive deck is at the aft and 2 suites are also found mid-ship on the main deck. The remaining 4 suites are on the lower deck.
All of the Nautilus vessels are all known for their “good eats”. On Gallant Lady you’ll enjoy a combination of Mexican and West Coast North American cuisine with home-baked snacks and drinks between dives. On board is a wide selection of beer, wine and alcohol from the ship’s bar. The chef will do everything possible to accommodate special dietary needs. Please let us know your needs when you book.
Socorro: We recommend that you fly into Cabo San Lucas (airport code SJD) at least 1 day before departure. It’s a one-day sail from Cabo out to Socorro which means your liveaboard cannot wait for guests who have missing luggage or missed their flight. Arrive early to be safe ! Sealine Cabo Transfers is the recommended transportation to and from Cabo San Lucas. We can help to make arrangements. See Creatures, the dive center operated by Nautilus Liveaboards, is located beside the main lobby of the Tesoro Hotel in downtown Cabo San Lucas. Feel free to drop in as soon as you’ve arrived to get set up with any equipment you may need for the trip. There’s also a complimentary warmup dive for anyone heading out to Socorro (please book in advance), You’ll be expected to meet at the dive center no later than 7 pm on the first day of your cruise. The boat is just a short walk from the dive center and boarding is at 8 pm. Appetizers and champagne will await you as you board.
Gallant Lady will normally arrive back in port on the final day by by 8:30 a.m. We highly recommend booking an outward flight after 11:30 a.m.
