The $5.6 Million U-Boat Worx Super Sub Makes Exploring A Whole New World Easy.
Some of the world’s most expensive luxury yachts have a mountain of accessories for their friends, families or significant others, so when it comes to finding the best options, what better way to do it than to take them to a place we take for granted – in a submarine.
More than “80 per cent of the world’s oceans remain unexplored but discovering the depths have now never been so easy,” says Boat International.
Actual super submarines.
These exquisite vessels are the epitome of luxury, wealth and status, each yacht having been skillfully designed and decorated for the owners’ specific requirements and tastes.
Just imagine gliding through a bale of sea turtles or cruising underneath a shiver of sharks. Swoop through the undercurrent of a powerful shoal of fish, then dive and turn with a school of dolphins – never getting wet.
This is just one superyacht accessory for anyone looking to add to their collection of gadgets and toys.
If you have deep enough pockets, these gadgets don’t come cheap. You are looking at over $5 million for one. But a pilot and two passengers can make this an everyday reality.
So yeah, you’ll want one of these. U-Boat’s Super Sub is faster than a bottlenose dolphin.
Some are even built to cater to up to six guests and tailored to fit a superyacht tender garage’s weight and height restrictions.
This is because it opens up the oceans for those wanting to explore marine life like no other. Hell, why not take down a glass of 1959 Dom Perignon?
I mean, the cabin comes complete with proper armchairs, aircon and a sound system, and there’s sonar and all the usual submarine bits of tech that we don’t fully understand but completely admire.
The famous Top Gear show claims that “it’ll dive to depths of 300 metres and uses a 62kWh lithium-ion battery connected to four thrusters with a combined 80bhp – while still maintaining a 360-degree view.”
Companies are now “plumbing new depths” for a chance to be seen. Dutch firm submarine manufacturer U-Boat Worx has been pushing its creations deeper into the abyss since launching in 2005.
With a long tail and advanced wing design, these speedy bullets are now recognised as the most hydrodynamic submarines on the market. Investing in pods of travel could give your future buyers vast eyes.
One of the advantages of buying a yacht is that the previous owners or brand new may have already invested in equipment that is not included in a new model.
“On the other hand, as a seller, you may want to include the value of these items in the list price,” says Yacht World.
So submerge yourself in a submarine for your superyachts, and the entire world will be at your feet.
