Ultra luxurious superyacht doubles as a submersible capable of 820 feet deep underwater exploration for four weeks

Discerning Billionaires who want to own the best super vessel to navigate the seas in style brace up for the Migaloo M5 superyacht. Labeled as the future of yachting, this $2 billion high-end vessel by the Austrian-based Migaloo is twice more expensive than the current costliest superyacht, the Lürssen Dilbar at $800 million.

The hyper-luxurious seacraft would still be out of the reach of many billionaires even and that’s what makes it special. Measuring 544 feet long and 75 feet wide, the M5 is a heaven on water for the 20 guests and 40 crew members. But that’s not where the surprises stop, it is also capable of diving to a depth of 820 feet and making an underwater stay for four weeks!

Designer: Migaloo

There’ll be more than anyone can bargain for to do on their extended holiday trips thanks to the two custom Midget submarines, two submersibles, a helicopter, jet skis, kite surfing and paddle boarding activities. This will be possible with the plethora of water toys that the superyacht will carry along including five Sea-Doo Jet-Skis, Seabobs, ROVs. UUVs, Zapata Racing flyboards, hoverboards, and everything else you need for paddleboarding, kitesurfing, and kayaking. Land expeditions when docked on shore are also not out of the question with the two expedition vehicles and pickup trucks.

According to Migaloo, they are ready to deliver the kind of amenities and interiors depending on the client’s requirements and personal taste. To scratch the surface these include a jaw-dropping dining room that can accommodate a party of 36 people, a tech-savvy cinema hall, swimming pools, a jacuzzi, a curated wine cellar, panoramic glass walls for stunning views en route the journey, and the most eye-popping expandable beach club you’ll ever see.

M5 fitted with a hybrid propulsion engine (diesel and AIP) will have a range exceeding 9,300 miles with a surface speed of 20 knots and 12 knots underwater exploration. According to Migaloo CEO Christian Gumpold, safety is their major concern after the Titan submersible’s unfortunate tragedy. To this end, finding prospective buyers was a challenge and they are looking for visionary billionaires who have “extraordinary demands for exclusivity, safety, adventure.”

This Super Sub engineered to cruise at 10 knots underwater has supercar-inspired interiors

Imagine gliding effortlessly behind a bale of graceful sea turtles or speeding alongside a shiver of sleek sharks, while not being an observer alone but essentially a part of their world, all the while cocooned in utmost comfort. This mesmerizing scenario could be a reality for a select few when the U-Boat Worx Super Sub rolls out next year.

Described as a ticket to an underwater theatre unlike any other, the Super Sub is a submersible designed with a long tail and a wing design to flatter. But the see-through acrylic pressure hull on the front of the sub provides an unobstructed 360-degree view of the outside marine world to the occupants in the forward-facing seats.

Designer: U-Boat Worx

The U-Boat Worx Super Sub is a redefining way to explore the enigmatic depths of the ocean, not only because of the uninterrupted views it offers but also because of the power and speed it generates. This is courtesy of the subs propulsion system comprising powerful four thrusters delivering a staggering 60 kW of thrust allowing for thrilling 30-degree climbs and dives that will leave your heart racing.

The propulsion system combined with precision-engineered rudders, ensures the smoothest and most exhilarating underwater experience, all while maintaining an unhindered 360-degree view. This is accompanied by Sub’s mind-blowing speeds of 10 knots underwater.

This underwater speedster with a luxurious supercar-inspired interior designed to elevate your aquatic journey, according to U-Boat Worx, can take up to three people – two passengers and a pilot – on a journey to depths of up to 1,000 meters. The 9,000 kg Super Sub is powered by a specially designed 62 kWh lithium-ion battery, which ensures performance without compromising the environment.

The first Super Sub model is already sold and is expected to be delivered to the client by the end of 2023. U-Boat Worx is poised to roll out bigger stock in the fall of 2024. If you have deep pockets and the willingness to dive into the future of underwater exploration, get ready to embrace the Super Sub soon!

U-Boat Worx Nexus lets nine people experience a private undersea party

Many people already imagine what it would be like to explore and even live on other planets, but some contend that we have barely scratched the surface in learning everything there is to learn about our own Earth. Underwater life, in particular, is almost just as alien to us as outer space while also teeming with unbelievable creatures and life-threatening dangers as well. Space tourism is slowly becoming a reality, especially with recent successful launches and voyages, but the barrier to entry there is still as high as the heavens. In contrast, diving deep into the seas is probably a bit more viable and possibly just as breathtaking, especially with a submarine that can take you and up to seven other people down to the depths in the safety of your own private bubble.

Designer: U-Boat Worx

OK, you probably won’t be sipping champagne in these tourist-centric submarines, even though that’s exactly the scenario that U-Boat Worx is trying to propose with its customizable submarines. The new Nexus submersible vehicle, in particular, can go down to a depth of 200 meters, which may already reach the seabed in some areas. Either way, it might not be a good idea to tempt fate with substances unless you want to be swimming with the fishes in an uncomfortable way.

Hopefully, you’ll be too busy enjoying the sights of underwater life anyway, which is the entire point of these submarines. Sitting inside what feels like a glass bowl (which would ironically put you in the fins of a goldfish), the U-Boat Worx Nexus lets you marvel at the wonders of the seas of the world with a nearly 360-degree view. You can turn your seat around to see what’s on the other side, though there will naturally be views that will be occluded by the machinery of the vehicle.

Unlike U-Boat’s more personal submarines, the Nexus is designed for group trips, accommodating up to nine people in total. That count is a bit confusing because it refers to the maximum seating occupancy inside. One seat is immediately reserved for the pilot, however, and there are two groups of six chairs for adults on either side. The eighth adult chair can be swapped out for two kid-sized seats, which is where that figures came from.

In addition to the increased capacity, the U-Boat Worx Nexus also offers improvements across the board, especially its ability to move laterally. It may sound trivial, but lateral movement can greatly improve the submersible’s maneuverability, dive efficiency, and object approach, which should translate to a better experience for passengers. And speaking of better experiences, the submarine also boasts of the largest diameter hatch of its kind, which should make it easier for untrained civilians to climb onboard. And if all else fails, there’s also an optional elevator available.

Whether submersibles are more economical ways to get to know our seas up close and personal is still up for debate. They may be cheaper than rocket launches, but it’s still a luxury that very few people can afford. It would also be nice if such vehicles could be used to make people more painfully aware of the damage that we have wrought upon our seas, but chances are, these underwater experiences are focused only on the good and beautiful sides of our waters, the parts that tourists will pay big bucks to see.

This $5.5 million personal submarine’s transparent compartment seats 4 passengers for adventures under the sea!

There’s rich and then there is Richie Rich like being rich! If you have millions of dollars to spare, there are no limits to the oceanic vistas you can explore. However, how you traverse the world underwater is what makes or breaks the overall experience. Opening up the oceans for a new take on personal exploration, Triton 3300/6 is an acrylic-hulled submersible that employs exceptional seating arrangement to accommodate six passengers on an uninterrupted journey of the deep ends of the ocean. In a way, it is similar to the U-Boat Worx submersible which is also tailored for comfortable underwater escapades.

Conceived and supplied by Florida-based Triton Submarines – that projects its $5.5million submarine as “a salon under the sea”- the Triton 3300/6 has the world’s largest capacity transparent acrylic compartment, which offers the occupants the most spectacular panoramic underwater views of the enigmatic underwater life. Certified to reach a depth of 1,000 meters (3,280 ft), the sub is delivered in Tiffany blue exterior and has spacious and luxurious ‘club-class’ seating arrangement that can be effortlessly re-arranged from six to four-seat configuration or vice versa, when required. Triton 3300/6 extraordinary interior space measures five cubic meters in total and provides ample leg, head, and elbow room for all onboard passengers, equipment, and other essentials for extended deep water explorations.

Underwater vessels including submarines don’t generally appear in the personal collectibles, but the Triton 3300/6 presents itself as a noteworthy exception that has the potential to redefine and reshape the boundaries of submersibles. It offers large families and a group of friends to share the incredible experience of deep-sea diving together, piloting their own underwater exploration mission!

A Sub for the Masses

We’ve gone to the moon and even sent probes to Mars, but it’s mind boggling to think that we’ve only managed to explore 10% of our own vast oceans! This is in part because the deep sea has been limited to scientists and research groups. The Manatee submersible concept vehicle was designed to give the rest of us a chance to do a little exploring of our own. More about recreation than scientific discovery, the interior is roomy and comfortable for a relaxing experience. A simple user interface, joystick controls and touch screen controls ensure anyone can get the hang of it.

Remote-controlled Aquabotix HydroView takes underwater HD video, Mrs. Puff calls insurance agent

Remote-controlled Aquabotix HydroView submersible takes underwater HD video, Mrs. Puff calls insurance agent

Using an iPad to control your music system? Been there, done that. Using an iPad to control a submersible that also records underwater video in 1080p? Oh, the possibilities. Aquabotix is giving Jacques Cousteau wannabes the ability to shoot the watery depths all the way down to 150 feet as its underwater doohickey -- the HydroView -- officially goes on sale. Measuring 14.6 x 19 x 7 inches and weighing nine pounds, the submersible comes with LED lights, a three-hour battery and a top-side box that connects with a cable tether. The box also allows users to communicate with the HydroView via an iPad, Mac or PC. Besides getting video proof of, say, which swimmers ate too many bean burritos for lunch, the submersible can also take pictures and gather data about water conditions. Top speed for the submersible is five knots -- one knot when going in reverse. Just make sure you don't channel your inner SpongeBob while remotely driving the thing. Although it's not in the same league as Rinspeed's submersible Elise, the HydroView still doesn't come cheap at $3,995 a pop. Check out the official PR and, uh, low-def video of the diminutive diver in action after the break.
