| Type of boat: |
The Nautilus Swell has enjoyed a romantic and varied history having been in active service as a tug, a fishing charter boat and liveaboard dive vessel in all parts of the Pacific North West. Tried and tested she has been completely refitted and renovated three times. Most recently, she underwent a $3.5 million dollar refit in 2005 to bring her up to the high standard of modern liveaboard comfort and safety without losing the classic warm feeling of a vintage wooden vessel. She is at home in the waters of BC and Alaska and we are sure she will make you feel at home too, the moment you step onboard. |

| Cabin Facilities: |
The Swell offers two superior suites and five staterooms. All accommodations include in-suite heads, showers, and individual temperature control. We take pride in keeping the ship exceptionally clean. Sheets and towels are regularly laundered, and duvet covers are changed after every trip. Our hope is that you will come aboard and feel “ahh this is nice.” The two superior suites span the entire width of the superstructure with doors at each end onto the main deck. Our staterooms all have skylights, portholes, and a door directly to the outside (except for the “Captain’s Cabin” which is accessed through the wheelhouse). |
| Amenities: |
The Nautilus Swell’s modern galley is fully equipped as a commercial kitchen to allow our chef to produce the imaginative and fresh cuisine we are known for. Soups are homemade; bread, pastries and deserts are baked onboard and there is always lots to eat with up to 4 meals a day, a choice of entrees and plenty of snacks (including some that aren’t good for you!). We offer a mix of both buffet and table service with a menu that combines North American and European tastes and also a touch of Mexico. We are happy to accommodate almost all special dietary requests – including vegetarian, vegan and all religious requests – as long as we have advance notice. |
| Tenders: |
Our 38 foot dive skiff Inde, previously used for 24 divers on the Explorer, will now be used for only 12 – 14 divers on the Swell and is essentially the “dive deck”, with loads of room for storage. Once your gear is set up on Inde, a single step down from the mothership, you won’t have to touch it again for the rest of the trip. |
| Meals & Drinks: |
Food is central to life aboard The Swell. We showcase fresh and creative cuisine that fuses western and Mexican cuisines. Our meals are a mix of plated, family style, and buffet service plus fresh snacks, daily baked goods, fresh fruit, and a constant supply of fresh-baked cookies. Dietary requests can usually be accommodated with 30 days or more prior notice.
