Is There A Private Submarine In Your Garage?

Two U-Boat Worx crew members prepare the C-Explorer 2 for a dive.

 

After the first success stories of submersibles operated from luxury Cruise Ships like The Taipan from Star Cruises and the Crystal Esprit, the Netherlands-based submersible manufacturer is seeing increased demand from the industry.

“Our operations on cruise ships inspired the development of the Cruise Sub series, ” says Bert Houtman, Founder and Chairman at U-Boat Worx. “Whether the operator focusses on exclusive deep sea exploration in remote destinations or on doing numerous subsea excursions on coral reefs, the Cruise Subs are optimized for maximizing the guest experience.”
