U-Boat Worx Personal Submarines

Going into space would be fun, but you won’t get there on a single charge—nor by merely stepping off your transom in your slippers.

If you ask us, until you can launch into orbit without using combustion (and return to base without needing a parachute), the personal submarine will remain the pinnacle of superyacht toys.

Largely reserved for object recovery and specialist exploration, even relatively small submarines have long been a somewhat impractical investment for private owners.

Piloted by a professional and coordinated by a team; a typical dive would be a far cry from a relaxing Sunday afternoon jaunt.

Introducing the U-Boat Worx NEMO personal submarine.

The world’s first one or two-seater production-built private submersible.

Engineered in line with strict global regulations, including from Det Norske Veritas (DNV), the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), U-Boat Worx submarines are a symbol of a safe and technologically advanced industry for ocean exploration.

Highly suitable for superyacht use, the NEMO is an ultra-user-friendly submarine with a small footprint.

We are an Official Partner with U-Boat Worx, offering the most comprehensive superyacht submarine support in the industry.

NEMO 2 Personal Submarine

Combining advanced lithium-ion battery technology with pioneering compact design, our friends at U-Boat Worx in the Netherlands have revolutionised the personal submarine market.

Founded in 2005 and with extensive commercial and scientific experience, U-Boat Worx have earned an unparalleled reputation for underwater safety and innovation.

On a quest to have one thousand submarines in operation by 2030, U-Boat Worx are taking a radical approach to improving everyday accessibility to the deep blue.

And with good reason — maps of planets in our solar system are more detailed than maps of the ocean floor.

Designed specifically for superyacht use, the NEMO submarine makes getting in the water as easy as deploying a jet ski.

Ultra-user-friendly to operate, owners who undertake a short course of training in Curaçao can themselves pilot the submarine with absolute ease.

What’s more, under the supervision of a qualified pilot, anyone can take control of the NEMO — how’s that for a family outing?
