Undersea superyacht


Italian designers Marina Colombo and Sebastian Vida have unveiled the 66.5 meter ‘Undersea Yacht U-101’ concept, conceived as the first superyacht to combine underwater exploration with all the comfort and style of a modern superyacht.

Still at the design stage, this cruise yacht can double up as a submarine. The U-010 Undersea Yacht will showcase a departure from the general notion of a cold and cramped military craft. The yacht is designed as a new and luxurious way to experience life beneath the seas, as stated by the designers.

The new luxury submersible yacht will be equipped with a relaxation parlor, sauna, lounge bar and vast spiral staircase. The interior of the yacht would cover a surface area of more than 700 square meters.

The construction of this pleasure submarine poses a lot of engineering challenges, as it should be built of composites, carbon fiber and aerospace alloys, which will involve enormous cost.
