Toy of the month: U-Boat Worx Nexus is the ultimate personal submarine
Costing a cool €5.3 million, the U-Boat Worx Nexus is the nine-person sub you’ve always promised yourself!
We’ve all been there, you’re about to launch your multi-million pound personal submarine to go for a recreational dive, you’ve got a superyacht full of guests, and you realise that there just aren’t enough seats in the sub.
Well, fret no more because U-Boat Worx has resolved this perennial problem. The flagship Nexus can accommodate nine people instead of the usual paltry two or three.
Featuring an ultra-large elliptical acrylic pressure hull, U-Boat Worx says the Nexus has 25% more space than competitors.
Seating 8-9 people in rotating seats, it will dive to depths of 200m. Ten silent thrusters allow it to manoeuvre in any direction, and thanks to top-mounted diving tanks, the view is unrestricted.
It also has the latest lithium-ion battery technology, and can operate for 18 hours and dive up to ten times a day.
