The Super Yacht Sub 3 is compact, lightweight with a virtually unimpeded view underwater. Known for their reliable, workhorse subs used for scientific exploration, Dutch builder U-Boat Worx has a personal submarine specifically for superyachts. Inside, a custom interior features hand-stitched leather and carbon-fibre trim. While a top speed of five knots might not sound like much – particularly for an Aston Martin – it’s actually four times the acceleration of Triton’s flagship 3300/3 submarine. Able to dive to 500m, Project Neptune offers a bulbous cabin for panoramic views and a sleek, compact multihull silhouette for optimal speed and style under the waves. This three-person submersible combines all the practical and technical elements of deep-sea exploration with a level of finesse and style that’s quintessentially Aston Martin. You can even customise the colour.Īnnounced at the Monaco Yacht Show 2017, Project Neptune is the result of a collaboration between submarine specialist Triton and British car marque Aston Martin. The Aurora-3C also offers extras including a robotic arm, HD video systems and a fly-out rover with HD camera. The submarine’s low height and even lower hoist point makes this submersible ideal for setup in confined spaces – say a superyacht tender garage – without compromising on comfort, practicality, and performance. And by moving the hatch away from the top of the window and into a separate compartment, the model offers a greater field of view. The Aurora-3C is able to tilt at surface, providing a stable platform for boarding when stepping across from a superyacht. This three-person submarine is capable of diving to 457m and offers some clever onboard extras. This model is also available in a four-person layout. And, for the first time ever, the HiPer Sub can be transported on a car trailer. Weighing 2500kg with a height of 1.46m, it’s perfect for those with room to spare onboard. A fighter jet-style joystick allows for easy manoeuvrability and both occupants can take control without having to switch seats. With a racing-red paint job, the HiPer sub can carry a pilot and passenger to a depth of 100m for up to six hours. It can roll, loop-the-loop, perform steep turns and vertical ascents and descents. It can travel at up to six knots and even perform underwater “hydrobatics”. POA, U-Boat Worx HiPer Sub 2ĭubbed the “ultimate sports submarine”, the HiPer Sub has a need for speed. Air conditioning and humidity control are an added bonus. It’s ideal for those looking to pilot their own submarine and Triton even provides in-house training. Perfect for exploring coral reefs or sunken ships, this two-person sub can dive down to 305m and power along the seabed at a top speed of four knots for up to 10 hours. Weighing just 3000kg and standing 1.7m tall, the 1000/2 MKII is designed to comfortably fit in a superyacht toy garage. New for 2019, Triton’s latest submersible is lesson in style. Built to cater from one to six guests and tailored to fit the weight and height restrictions of a superyacht tender garage, adventure further with our edit of the best personal submarines for superyachts… Triton 1000/2 MKII A personal submarine lets you explore the underwater world like never before. Nether the less, from 1944 till the end of the Second World War, the Kriegsmarine took delivery and placed in operation more then 300 Bibers.More than 80% of the world’s oceans remain unexplored but discovering the depths might be easier than you think. Both due to it’s technical and design defects and for the crew trained, for war needs, excessively fast and without necessary formation. Anyhow, the Biber was never a serious threat for the Allied. The deployment of the Biber, within the Kriegsmarine strategy, was very simple: supply an efficient defence of the cost shore as protection to a possible, further more probable, Allied invasion. The Biber could have been equipped with two 530mm torpedoes mounted externally or with two mines. Able to reach a merged maximum speed of 6,5 knots and 5,3 knots submerged. With only 9 meters length, it was capable of a 240 kilometres range. The design began in February 1944 and first examples were set to sea only 6 months later. The development of the Biber was extremely rapid. “Biber” was the most notorious “poket size” submarine deployed by the Kriegsmarine, German’s third Reich marine during the end of Second World War.
