U-BOAT WORX of the Netherlands

A Dutch company has launched what looks like a luxury sports car to explore the ocean.  It's called the Super Sub and it is straight out of a James Bond 007 movie.  It was invented and is being manufactured by U-BOAT WORX of Breda, the Netherlands which specializes in submersibles. The company is billing Super Sub as the most hydrodynamic private sub on the market.  The vessel has a transparent cabin that provides occupants panoramic views of the surrounding ocean and its inhabitants.

Tech Specs

Super Sub has 4 thrusters powered by electricity from lithium ion batteries that deliver 80 horsepower.  It can dive and climb at 30 degree angles, travel at 9 mph and dive to a depth of 1,000 feet.  The submersible can carry a pilot and two passengers.  It contains display screens that provide vital information on the sub and its surroundings.  There is climate control in the very plush cabin.  And, the pilot operates it with two, video game-like joysticks.

2023 Deliveries

The first Super Sub has been sold.  It was commissioned by an adventurer who wants to track large sea creatures like whales. No disclosure on the price.  The company says it will offer a full range of models of Super Sub with deliveries starting in 2023.  While Super Sub is powered by electricity, it weighs a whopping 20,000 pounds. It will take a hefty truck to haul the green vehicle to the ocean and then a large ship to launch it for ocean adventures.
