Owning a personal submarine may seem extravagant, but Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx would disagree. Since 2005, their company mission has been to widen the availability of undersea exploration, without sacrificing product quality.
U-Boat makes several different consumer models, including the C-Explorer, the HP Sport Sub 2, the C-Researcher 3, the Super Yacht Sub 3, and the Cruise Sub. In all cases, their submersibles are outfitted with the most advanced propulsion systems, temperature and atmospheric control systems, and safety features available, as well as top-of-the-line communication, life support, and lithium-ion battery technology. Each submersible is designed for functionality, thoroughly tested, and monitored by a dedicated support staff of engineers and technicians.
So how does U-Boat offer all that without making their products virtually unaffordable? The answer, in a word, is craftsmanship. U-Boat builds in small batches to reduce both costs and production time. These lowered production costs enable them to offer competitive prices, and their small-batch production cycles allow them to give each submersible the time and attention it deserves.
Whether you want to use a U-Boat Worx sub for research, yachting, tourism, or even just for fun, one of their models will suit your needs. Visit their website for a list of current U-Boat Worx dealerships, and scroll down to watch a video of the Super Yacht 3 in action.
