65m undersea superyacht Phoenix 1000 is a personal luxury submarine built by US Submarines. Submarine yacht Phoenix 1000 is the single largest private undersea vehicle ever built, and probably one of the most important personal transportation devices of the century.

US Submarines Phoenix 1000 submarine

213´ luxury submarine yacht Phoenix 1000 has more than ample space. The total interior area of the submarine is in excess of 460 square meters (5000 square feet). The significant volume, coupled with very large acrylic viewports, and the potential for relatively large open spaces, results in a vehicle as luxurious as the finest of motor yachts.

Clearly, underwater super yacht Phoenix 1000 provides its owner with substantially more capability than a simple yacht – the opportunity to explore the depths of the world’s oceans in perfect comfort and safety. The Phoenix 1000 yacht is capable of making trans-Atlantic crossings at 16 knots yet can dive along the route and explore the continental margins of some of the most fascinating waters on earth.

US Submarines Phoenix 1000

And unlike surface yachts, when the water gets rough, the submarine can submerge into a perfectly smooth and quiet environment, continuing on toward its destination, providing a ride unsurpassed in quality-unequaled by the finest motor coach or the most luxurious executive aircraft.

At 65-meters (213 feet) in overall length, and with a beam in excess of 8 meters (26 feet), the Phoenix 1000 is a vehicle of formidable size. Yet despite its 1500-ton displacement, the submarine is quite streamlined. Given the significant waterplane area and ample internal volume, which allows for greater battery storage, the Phoenix 1000 yacht will out-perform smaller counterparts in surface speed, submerged speed and submerged endurance.

The large pressure hull diameter allows for very large acrylic viewports, making the undersea viewing capability truly extraordinary. The interior space, with the noted absence of structural bulkheads, provides for tremendous versatility in interior layout and space planning. And finally, the Phoenix 1000’s large size coupled with its integrated roll stabilization system makes surface transit quite comfortable in all but the worst conditions.

Flying Bridge

The uppermost level of the vessel is the flying bridge. This area is similar to its equivalent area on most yachts, with the exception of the fact that the materials selected are subject to immersion in water. Ample space exists for lounging, and cushions may be brought up from the area below. The flying bridge also houses the pressure-compensated radar radome, GPS antennae and satellite communications radome, as well as radio aerials, running lights, etc. A remote steering station is also available.

Luxurious interior of the Phoenix 1000 undersea superyacht

Deck Saloon

Immediately below the flying bridge and accessible through a large hydraulically operated hatch and a stairway, is the deck saloon. As proposed, this area would be composed of structural acrylic cylindrical sections 2.1 meters (7′) in diameter and 20 centimeters (8″) in thickness. The overall length of the deck saloon pressure hull would be 12 meters.

The deck saloon would have a comfortably appointed interior and would boast an incredible view for observation, both on the surface and when submerged. By fitting transparent sections into the deck of the flying bridge, a view above can be enjoyed as well.

In the forward portion of the saloon is the surface bridge. This area contains all the necessary control, monitoring and navigation equipment to operate the submarine in the surfaced condition. The captain has a hemispherical sector acrylic viewport immediately in front, with the transparent cylindrical walls to either side.

The aft portion of the saloon has a large acrylic window, providing a view astern that also acts as a large hydraulically operated hatch. A small automobile could be kept in the aft section if desired.

Superstructure

The superstructure itself is composed principally of aluminum (or FRP if the owner prefers), and it houses the deck saloon pressure vessel and also provides the structural base for the flying bridge. There is a large degree of latitude possible with regard to the styling of the structure, with the caveat that its hydrodynamic efficiency will have a significant effect on the submerged speed of the submarine.

Aft of the deck saloon is a covered space that can be either fully or partially enclosed. The greater the degree of closure to the after portion of the structure, the less turbulence and the more hydromdynamic efficiency. Hydraulically actuated after doors could be designed to open, allowing fresh air to circulate. The area would be excellent for covered, informal, deck-level dining.

Docking Minisub

Aft of the superstructure, or optionally, above the control cabin on the bow, is an area for a docking minisub. Utilizing a special docking collar, this vehicle is capable of leaving the Phoenix 1000 superyacht while submerged and making excursions down to 610 meters (2000 feet). With both top and bottom hatches, the minisub could also bring passengers from the surface to the submarine lying at depth. The minisub could be designed to hold between two and eight passengers, depending upon the owner’s preferences. Additionally, in the unlikely event of an emergency at depth, the minisub could be used to take passengers and crew to the surface.

Forward Control Room

The forward control room is entered from the main deck through a watertight, pressure-proof door. The control room has a 2.4 meter (8′) diameter hemispherical sector acrylic viewport forward and three 1.8 meter (6′) diameter viewports on either side, with the foremost pair angled slightly forward.

The control room contains all of the control and navigation equipment necessary to operate the submarine while submerged. The 8 meter x 4 meter (26′ x 13′) area contains sufficient space to fit comfortable lounge chairs for passenger observation while underway.

Main Passenger Areas

The main passenger area consists of two decks, each 31 meters (102′) long and 6 meters (20′) wide. The upper deck is accessed from one of two hatches, either from the deck saloon or from a hatch to the after portion of the superstructure. Two stairways, one in the center of the deck, the other in the after section, lead to the lower deck.

The upper deck is intended to provide space for an engineering workstation, a switch and contactor room, crew cabins and mess, as well as the galley. The forward portion, which ends at a bulkhead, is designed as a room of the owner’s choosing.

The main deck is situated such that the forward portion, with eight 1.8 meter (6′) diameter acrylic windows, contains the living and dining areas, while the section aft of the beam houses the owner’s stateroom and guest cabins. Five viewports, 90 centimeters (35″) in diameter, are situated on both port and starboard sides.

Below the passenger area is the battery compartment and bilge. A narrow manway allows access through the compartment for battery maintenance.

Engine Room

The engine room is accessed through doors at the after portion of both passenger decks. The space contains the majority of the equipment necessary for the submarine’s operation, including the main diesels, motor generators, drive systems, air compressors, hydraulic aggregates and life support systems. The upper level of the engine space provides access to the minisub, and in the stern section, to a diver lock-out chamber. The bottom level allows maintenance of the main engines and related components. Diver Lock-out Chamber

A spherical diver lock-out chamber, 2.4 meters (8′) in diameter is fitted above the shafts and attached to the aftermost section of the pressure hull. The chamber allows a diver to enter or exit the submarine from the area between the shafts at depths of up to 45 meters (150′). The chamber can be fitted with decompression capability if required.

Tour the World’s Most Luxurious Submarine Superyacht

If yacht owners really want to put everyone at port to shame, they should consider sailing on the Migaloo Private Submersible Yacht. A concept yacht created by Migaloo, an Austrian design and engineering firm, the line of luxury superyachts offers a range of bespoke underwater crafts that vary in size. After sailing the new Migaloo submersible yacht on the water, owners can close up the decks and turn the craft into a fully operational submarine.

“What we are attempting to do is to create a living space where exterior and interior interact in harmony,” says Christian Gumpold, managing director and head of design at Migaloo. With rooms that open to the ocean for dining alfresco while above water, and large viewing galleries for taking in the marine life when submersed, the Migaloo creates that harmony. What’s more, the firm reaffirms its focus on luxury with optional amenities that include helipads, swimming pools, movie theaters, elevators, wine cellars, libraries, and private terraces.

The Migaloo submersible yacht moving underwater.

Of course, safety is a major focal point as well. Each superyacht will be built to U.S. Navy SUBSAFE safety standards, which ensure that the interiors will stay watertight and the vessel can recover from unanticipated flooding. According to Migaloo, solitude is a major point of interest for yacht owners, which is why the ability to dive beneath the surface and out of view might have great appeal. “Privacy is a big issue on superyachts,” says Gumpold, “our answer to this concern is simply submerging the vessel into complete privacy.”

“People that have decided to buy a yacht will now have to consider if their vessel of choice can also dive down to 200 meters,” U-Boat Worx chairman and founder Bert Houtman said in a statement.

The superyacht submarine will be able to stay underwater for up to four days, but can only cruise underwater for six hours at a time. As an added bonus, the Nautilus can make a quick escape in the face of choppy waters.

“If the sea becomes too rough, you simply dive and continue your voyage in comfort,” Houtman adds. “With the Nautilus, the yachting market will never be the same again.”

The luxurious interior offers all the comforts of a superyacht and can be fully customized by the client. As standard, the layout comprises a combined lounge and dining area of 538 square feet, along with a fully equipped galley, one owner’s suite, four staterooms and sleeping quarters for up to six crew. You’ll have some pretty incredible underwater views, too, thanks to the large circular windows throughout.

When above the water, seafarers can make use of the massive sundeck, which is equipped with a freshwater pool, a bar and an alfresco dining table. This area is neatly retracted before the sub slips below sea level, of course. The Nautilus is also fitted with a new, pressure-resistant electric tender called the Aronnax that can transport up to five seafarers to underwater dive spots. The tender is stowed under the aft deck and stays outside while the Nautilus is diving.

The most compact private submarine

Super yacht sub 3.

Versatile, smart and capable with a design that will satisfy the highest expectations of discerning superyacht owners.

The fully acrylic hyper-hemispherical viewport gives you the best panoramic view of the underwater world possible.

Freeboard is the height between the hatch and the waterline. The Freeboard Extender is a sliding barrier that increases the distance between the water and the hatch opening. It simultaneously allows for the submarine to be operated in rough conditions and be stored in low-height garage spaces.

The latest in Lithium-ion battery technology is used to give our submersibles the ultimate performance, lowest weight, smallest footprint, and best endurance possible. The Lithium-ion battery can be quickly recharged and is maintenance-free.

The powerful thrusters and the excellent manoeuvrability of the Super Yacht Sub 3 boost superior surface performance. You will be able to go faster, manoeuvre better and expand your operational window.

This compact ultra-wide (130 degree) field of view instrument has a range of 100 meters acting as a second set of eyes when navigating the subsea terrain.

External equipment comprising a selection of subsea robotic arms together with work platforms and collection baskets can be installed on most of the U-Boat Worx models.

The red buoy is characteristic for U-Boat Worx submersibles. When released it marks the position of the submarine on the surface. The Dyneema Rope attached measures 1.5 x the operating depth of the submersible, and is strong enough to lift it to the surface.

The U-Boat Worx Information System (UIS) gives the pilot direct access to all relevant information on a clear touch-screen display. The PLC-based network of sensors ensures the right information is provided at the right time. The UIS makes diving effortless.

The acrylic pressure hull accommodates two luxurious leather seats which can be customized to your taste.

The best dive experience

This submarine is aimed at the yacht markets where an ever-growing number of seaboard owners are discovering the world below the waterline. This compact and lightweight model delivers both performance and luxury.

Clearest View

The ground breaking pressure hull design provides a virtually unimpeded view; everyone on board can easily see the hidden secrets of the deep.

Unparalleled comfort

With the U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub 3, we have aspired to create the ultimate in luxury interior design. When onboard a Super Yacht Sub 3, guests enjoy exhilarating views from a sumptuous chair in a comfortable air-conditioned environment with variable airflow, adjustable from each seat. You can also enjoy music from a hi-fidelity Bluetooth sound-system and even chill your favourite drinks in a cold-storage box.

Unrivalled mission-adaptability

The Super Yacht Sub 3 outperforms on every level – flexibility, agility, economy and power. This exceptional submersible features the Freeboard Extender and other smart engineering solutions.

Designed from concept to be dive-ready, U-Boat Worx has kept pre-dive checks to the safest minimum, allowing for quick and easy deployment.

Lithium-ion battery technology

Freeboard extender, manta controller, marlin controller, auto-heading, omni-directional operation, container fit, single lifting point.

The MANTA Controller allows for pinpoint precision manoeuvring. The intuitive controls allow for supervised passenger steering, offering passengers an even more exciting experience. The controller allows quick access to intelligent pilot assistance functions such as  Auto-heading  and  Auto-depth.

Developed to make  Launch & Recovery  effortless and efficient, the MARLIN Controller is a wireless remote to navigate the submarine on the surface. Once the submarine is in the water the controller can be used to navigate it away from the support vessel without a pilot inside. It can also be used to bring the submarine into position above a dive site or for easy passenger transfer.

With Auto-depth engaged, the submersible will hold steady at its current depth. When applying vertical thrust, the function will automatically disengage and seamlessly respond to the pilot’s commands. This function is part of the  Intelligent Pilot Assistance   Features.

When Auto-heading is activated, the submersible will automatically hold its current heading, whether following a course or facing an object of interest. This function is part of the  Intelligent Pilot Assistance   Features.

The U-Boat Worx Information System (UIS) gives the pilot direct access to all relevant information on a clear touch-screen display. This PLC-based sensory network ensures the right information is provided at the right time. The UIS makes diving effortless.

Apart from the basic forward, reverse, up and down movements, the submersible can also move laterally. Lateral movement greatly optimises object approach, view, and dive efficiency.

This submersible is designed to fit in a shipping container. Perfect for when the submersible needs to be transported to and deployed in different locations.

The single lifting point makes launch and recovery quick and easy. By only having to attach at one point – to the crane – you create a safer environment. With the rapid-release and efficient-connect lifting gear, you can be quickly in and out of the water.

Maximum depth protection

Deadman's switch, drop weight, safety buoy, dnv certification.

The MDP feature prevents the pilot from diving deeper than the submarine’s maximum operating depth. In case the submersible should ever find itself too deep, this safety feature will automatically raise the sub until it is once again within its ideal depth limits.

This DMS safety system will automatically resurface the submersible in the unlikely event that the pilot becomes incapable of controlling the submarine. The pilot needs to acknowledge the DMS every 10 minutes, otherwise it will initiate the ascent procedure.

This weight can be manually released from within the submersible to increase the buoyancy of the submarine and return to the surface.

A very advanced USBL system is available that relays GPS data to the submersible’s on-board computer via integrated underwater modems. Piloting with real time positioning and supporting text data provides for accurate and efficient navigation. The DVL (Doppler Velocity Log) delivers real-time ground speed and position data linking to the on-board computer system.

Certified by leading classification society, DNV, requires each individual submersible to meet stringent and extensive rules and regulations, as well as pass a range of rigorous test and trials from design to final delivery. Overseen by independent surveyors, this is an independent verification of the safety of every U-Boat Worx submersible.

MIGALOO - the future of yachting

Statement of Christian Gumpold, CEO and founder of MIGALOO:

The needs of Superyacht Owners for their vessels are more complex than ever. These wishes do not just include performance, length or design. Owner are looking for privacy , security and protection for themselves, their guests and their valuables, or for the fulfillment of unique experiences up to scientific desires as well as for the greatest possible exclusivity and limitation .

We belive the expectations on superyachts are rising faster and higher than ever.

Current and upcoming Yachting trends as well as UHNWI trends are:   Privacy and security for Owner and Guests Exploration, expedtion and R&D Experiences and immaterial goods Individualisation Sustainability Innovation in design, materials, GA, overall concept and use cases

High tech and high-end entertainment Younger owners with no superyacht experience and high willingness for unconventional projects and cooperations

Frugal luxury: own less, but get more

New business models and operation models

We believe motor yachts and sailing yachts cannot fully satisfy  the ever-rising demands of modern Owner. We believe the Yachting Industry needs a (r)evolutionary innovation. We believe Submersible Superyachts offer high (business) potentials for all parties - Owner, Designer, Builder, Supplier, Broker, Captain & Crew,...

We believe Submersible Superyachts are a new category of vessel type Owner can choose from, alongside to motor yachts and sailing yachts.

We believe that Submersible Superyachts are the Future of Yachting.

Owner Archetypes

MIGALOO Private Submersible Superyachts intentionally appeal to a highly exclusive and discerning group of Owners, though spanning a broad spectrum of age groups, professions, genders, locations and cultural backgrounds.

These Owner archetypes are characterized by a common trait - an outstanding motivation for owning and operating a MIGALOO Private Submersible Superyacht.

Each motivation can be attributed to existing or upcoming trends among Ultra-High-Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWI) - from the fascination with exploration, exclusivity and immersive experiences to the paramount importance of security or business-oriented motivations, the archetypes pursue highly demanding, professional, complex goals and areas of interest.

To address these challenges optimally, MIGALOO's individual Owner-centered design process pays maximum attention to empathy, values, motivations, desires, customization and the specific requirements of the Owners.

Nonprofit organisation Circular Waves unveils 80m catamaran concept dedicated to marine conservation

Nonprofit organisation Circular Waves has unveiled a new, 80-metre catamaran concept that serves as a research platform for marine conservation. The concept was developed in collaboration with the Technical University of Munich.

The design is split into two collection areas which focus on removing "residues" such as plastic and brown algae, which pollute beaches and drinking water. The brown algae would also be processed on land into hydrogen and used for "environmentally friendly" propulsion and water production.

The concept is designed with vertical wind turbines and floatable, rollable solar cells to support the production of clean energy. An on board laboratory would develop breeding programmes for corals and reefs and create a database for recording marine pollution and species impact. Data acquisition and processing would be assisted by AI. 

The skydeck has drone and helicopter capacity alongside an "event area" for hosting talks and discussions on board. Other highlights include a media room with televisions and webcams and vertical "green farming" for further autonomy when cruising.

"Together with the scientists involved, we are restoring endangered habitats, reforesting seagrass meadows and reefs and improving the safety of shipping traffic through AI-supported geodesy projects," said founder Pascal Gerdsmeier. "[This concept] combines economy, technology, environmental sustainability, and innovation to create a forward-thinking concept for the yacht industry."

The catamaran would also be equipped with rescue and tender boats, a submarine and diver equipment. Key numbers include a 38-metre beam and a draft of 24 metres.

Further details will be revealed at this year's Monaco Yacht Show .

A Watch—and a Life-Changing Sailing Experience

Checking in with the owners of Panerai's Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition at the America's Cup.

As a major sponsor of Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli, watch brand Panerai offers a lucky few collectors privileged access to the team’s ongoing 27-year battle to snag Sailing’s America’s Cup. It’s the oldest ongoing sporting competition in existence, and it’s going on right now in Barcelona, Spain. That’s why Panerai made it the focus of one of the year’s biggest launches: the Submersible Tourbillon GMT Luna Rossa Experience Edition .

Think of it as an unforgettable trip with a very rare free watch thrown in.

The 43mm Tourbillon GMT is made in a skeleton style, using two high-tech materials familiar to modern America’s Cup racers, carbon fiber (it’s known as CarboTech at Panerai) and titanium. In the Luna Rossa race boat, carbon fiber is used for much of the hull, while titanium is used for the all-important foils, submerged “wings” that in the right conditions can lift the boat clear of the water. Combined, these elements allow boats to reach speeds of more than 60mph—often 3 or 4 times the speed of the wind they use for their power. It’s something to behold.

Experiences are everything in the luxury sphere, especially post-Covid. Panerai, however, got in on the experience game well before that, tethering specific watch launches to activations that run the gamut from out-there physical challenges to lofty cultural moments.

This is how it works: A special limited-edition Panerai watch comes at a premium price, but it also includes an unforgettable experience inspired by the watch. In the past, that has meant a three-day trip to the polar night of Svalbard in the Arctic Circle featuring dog sledding, ice-caving, and snowmobiling trips with explorer and environmentalist Mike Horn (and me as a lucky, and watchless, observer). On two occasions, Panerai has also hosted owners of a special edition U.S. Navy SEALs watch to a grueling few days of training with active Navy SEALs in Florida and California and Italian Navy divers in southern Italy.

The purpose of these unique experiences is to provide owners of these special editions with life-changing experiences. That means in some cases getting as close as possible to the harsh physical experiences that are the subject of the enterprise (without actually killing off any of Panerai’s most faithful fans in the process). This takes a great deal of planning but has so far proved worth it, providing collectors with a sense of authenticity and adventure in keeping with Panerai’s rugged history. The customer base for these special experiences is tiny, particularly as many sign up again for the next special edition watches at the earliest opportunity. As one collector told me, “Getting in is hard, leaving is harder.” But it does prove that for Panerai, maintaining a close relationship with its fans pays off. It only remains a mystery to this fan why so few watch brands have attempted anything similar.

For Barcelona, alongside the centerpiece of the match racing off Barceloneta beach, Panerai arranged cultural visits to the likes of Sagrada Familia, Antoni Gaudi’s mind-bending modernist cathedral – a 142-year project that is still in the process of being finished. On hand—moored in the Port Vell harbor, where all the America’s Cup racing teams have their bases—was Eilean, the 1936 William Fife yacht that was bought and fully restored by Panerai’s former CEO Angelo Bonati after being found languishing in the reeds in Antigua. Now a showpiece of Panerai’s nautical mien, Eilean’s other claim to fame is that she was the boat on which Duran Duran filmed their “Rio” video in 1982. If getting that trivia doesn’t date one, nothing will.

A trip up into the hills in vintage Rollers and Bentleys featured a wine tasting at La Freixeneda, a 13 th century wine growing estate specializing in Cava. Back in Barcelona, guests were treated to dinner in Casa Batlló, one of Gaudi’s 12 remarkable, privately built apartment blocks.

But the most attention was given to the water, where the Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli team, under skipper and CEO Max Sirena and co-helms Francesco “Cecco” Bruni and Australian Jimmy Spithill, battled its way through the Louis Vuitton Cup—the qualifying rounds that decides the single challenger for the America’s Cup. After a couple of days of technical glitches, Luna Rossa won its place in the final, facing off against Ineos Britannia, helmed by Sir Ben Ainslie and Dylan Fletcher. Based on the performances of both teams, it promises to be a riveting final.
