Alaska Liveaboards

Alaska Small Ship Adventures
June, July, and early August

“I have never see so much marine life in my entire life.”
-- Andy Lamb, author and biologist, after diving "Surge City" in Alaska

The boat heads north to Alaska when days are long, nights are short, and the waters are generally calm and teeming with life. Divers experience undersea ecstasy and kayakers and hikers are immersed in true wilderness. Underwater, expect to see giant octopus, playful wolf eels, huge anemones, walls of Dr. Seuss-like metridiums, stunning corals and sponge, and current-swept invertebrates all passing by in a carnival-like parade. Topside, the show is just as inspiring. Massive glaciers calving and giving birth to icebergs. Breaching and lunge-feeding humpback whales rising from the deep. Bald eagles soaring against blue skies. Black bears and grizzlies ambling at the forest fringe. And a host of other creatures, including orcas, sea lions, otters and puffins.

Nautilus Swell

The Nautilus Swell - Alaska Small Ship Adventures - Dive DiscoveryThe newest wave to hit Alaska and British Columbia diving

Dive and explore the beautiful Emerald Sea from a private yacht with 12 - 14 divers onboard, 38 foot dive skiff INDE in tow and a highly experienced divemaster in the water pointing out our famous giant pacific octopus, wolf-eels, sealions, nudibranchs and the whole spectrum of life special to these waters. There is no better way to experience Alaska and B.C.

The Nautilus Swell is a classic and beautiful vintage vessel with $3,500,000 recently spent on renovations and refit. Just like her sistership, Nautilus Explorer, you can expect exceptional service levels from a friendly and professional crew including all the famous Nautilus touches: a hostess with hot drinks and snacks waiting for you after every dive and shore excursion, morning coffee service to wherever you may be enjoying the view, an extensive selection of wine and microbrews, a refreshing, frosty beer brought directly to you in the hot-tub in the evening. All staterooms, superior suites and single occupancy cabins have private ensuites, separate shower stalls, doors that open directly outside and individually controlled heat. The ship’s watermaker ensures that you can shower as often as you like.

Best of all, the addition of the Nautilus Swell to our schedule means that we are able to extend our Alaska season into the prime months of August and September when the streams are choked with spawning salmon and anxious brown bears pace the shoreline.
