Migaloo is the famous albino humpback that is occasionally spotted passing through Byron Bay, but Migaloo is also a design and superyacht company that boasts of offering  “private submersible superyachts, innovative superyachts & floating islands [that] are the world’s most exclusive products.”

Migaloo, founded by Austrian Christian Gumpold, claims to be the future of luxury yachting and, perhaps more to the point, of being able to offer the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires that ever-elusive sense of privacy they must feel their superyachts can no longer deliver. In reality, Migaloo offers concepts, ideas, renders and, as of recently, NFTs. Vaporware, you might call it.

Be that as it may, one thing you can’t fault Migaloo for is the ability to dream big. Really big. As big as the Migaloo M7 private submersible superyacht introduced a few years ago, which remains the world’s largest (submersible) superyacht design and the most expensive privately-owned asset. Both honors are still on paper, so here’s to hoping you’re in the mood for an outrageous (rich person’s) dream.

Just so we’re clear, not a single submersible superyacht from the M-Series from Migaloo exists beyond the digital realm. The closest you can come to owning any of the various-size superyachts that are also submarines is if you buy an NFT (non-fungible token) of it. You’d still not be able to go anywhere with it, it goes without saying.

The M7 is the biggest and fanciest in the series, a 283-meter (930-foot) monster of a vessel that’s meant to offer the best of everything. It’s can travel at a speed of 32 knots (36.8 mph / 60 kph) when on the surface, or a brisk 21 knots (24 mph / 39 kph) underwater. It can go as deep as 457 meters (1,500 feet), and has a design inspired by modern Zumwalt-class destroyers, but infused with the classic styling of modern superyachts.

Designed for the billionaire for whom a multi-million megayacht is too basic and for whom the desire for privacy trumps even financial common sense, the M7 offers accommodation for 12 guests across eight VIP suites, and a crew of 25 in separate quarters. The owner’s suite sits on a private deck and offers a total of 2,100 square meters (22,604 square feet) of living area, appointed luxuriously.

Amenities on board include spa and wellness area, fully-equipped gym, cinema, dining rooms, bars, lounges and underwater viewing rooms, as well as a helicopter hangar, jacuzzis and pool, and an entire hoard of water and underwater toys packed inside six dry hangars. This is very much a cliché, but as far as amenities go, if you can think it, it’s on board the M7. Moreover, the owner gets the final say in terms of design, features and the final layout, so that the resulting vessel will be truly a one-off.

“Owners 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,”  Gumpold says. It should come in an exclusive package.

When sailing above the water surface, the M7 acts very much like a megayacht, opening up to offer alfresco entertainment areas and quick access to water. The vessel shutters for underwater mode, with the hull built to U.S. Navy SUBSAFE safety standards. Speaking of safety, Gumpold told  Bloomberg  back in 2017 that every safety feature imaginable would be included. This apparently includes 12 surface-to-air missiles and 12 MU90 antitorpedo – we live in very dangerous times. Propulsion would be hybrid diesel-electric.

The best submarines for superyachts

More than 80% of the world’s oceans remain unexplored but discovering the depths might be easier than you think. Built to cater from one to six guests and tailored to fit the weight and height restrictions of a superyacht tender garage, a personal submarine lets you explore the underwater world like never before. Dive into our edit of the best submersibles on the market...

U-Boat Worx Nexus

Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx has added a new nine-person model to its line-up of deep-diving subs. With a maximum depth of 200m, the Nexus can operate for 18 hours, diving up to 10 times a day. Two designs have been revealed in the new series, both featuring an extra-large elliptical acrylic pressure hull and revolving seating arrangement for cinematic style viewing. An extra-large hatch has also been included on board the Nexus, allowing passengers to keep their dignity while entering and exiting the submersible.

Triton 600/2

Meet Triton's smallest and lightest submersible to date. Weighing just 2,500kg and standing 1.47m tall, the 660/2 packs the power of Triton's pro flagship submersible into a svelte new design which can slot into most superyacht tender garages without a hitch. The perfect size for owners looking to pilot their own submarine, two people can dive down to a depth of 200 metres and power along the seabed at a top speed of four knots for up to six hours. With numerous customisation options on offer, you can even tailor the sub to match its mothership.

NEMO Submersible

NEMO is the smallest member of the U-Boat Worx fleet, offering a slick, deep-diving sub in a lightweight 2,500kg package. Designed with the yacht market in mind, the NEMO submersible can dive to depths of 100 metres with room for two, and at 2.3 metres wide requires less storage space than a pair of Jet Skis. Meanwhile, a simple launch and recovery system allows for ease of operation thanks to a single lifting point. At the 2021 Monaco Yacht Show, U-Boat Worx a single-seat version of the NEMO submersible named NEMO 1.

uboatworx.com

This three-person submarine is capable of diving to 457m and offers some clever onboard extras. The Aurora-3C is able to tilt at surface, providing a stable platform for boarding when stepping across from a superyacht. And by moving the hatch away from the top of the window and into a separate compartment, the model offers a greater field of view. The submarine's low height and even lower hoist point make an ideal for setup in confined spaces – say a superyacht tender garage - without compromising on comfort, practicality, and performance. The Aurora-3C also offers extras including a robotic arm, HD video systems and a fly-out rover with HD camera. You can even customise the colour.

Project Neptune

Project Neptune is the result of a collaboration between submarine specialist Triton and British car marque Aston Martin. This three-person submersible combines all the practical and technical elements of deep-sea exploration with a level of finesse and style that’s quintessentially Aston Martin. Able to dive to 500m, Project Neptune offers a bulbous cabin for panoramic views and a sleek, compact multihull silhouette for optimal speed and style under the waves. While a top speed of five knots might not sound like much – particularly for an Aston Martin – it’s actually four times the acceleration of Triton’s flagship 3300/3 submarine. Inside, a custom interior features hand-stitched leather and carbon-fibre trim.

U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub 3

Known for their reliable, workhorse subs used for scientific exploration, Dutch builder U-Boat Worx has a personal submarine specifically for superyachts. The Super Yacht Sub 3 is compact, lightweight with a virtually unimpeded view underwater. With a length of less than 3.2m and weighing 3,800kg, the sub is easy to fit on board, and can dive to 300m with a top speed of three knots. A retractable freeboard extender makes on-the-water boarding a breeze while the interior is kitted in out plush leather seats for comfortable cruising. Bonus features include a Bluetooth sound system and a cold-storage box.

Seamagine Aurora-6S

Created to give guests a completely immersive experience in the watery world below, SEAmagine’s Aurora series of submersibles features a massive glass bulb for unparalleled views as she dives up to 1,000m at a max speed of three knots for eight hours. The Californian company’s largest luxury sub, the Aurora-6S, seats five passengers and one pilot. A single-point hoist makes for uncomplicated launching, while an ergonomically designed aft section and telescopic handrails ease boarding. The entire set-up is ideal for deep-sea exploration with the family in tow. The Aurora-6S’s weight and size can be customised to suit the mothership, as can the colour.

Triton 1650/3

Triton's 1650/3 is the world's lightest and most compact three-person submersible. Designed to launched from a standard superyacht tender garage, the model takes up less space than a pair of Jet Skis when stowed but can still dive to depths of 500 metres.  Whether exploring coral reefs or shipwrecks, pilots and passengers will benefit from near 360-degree views thanks to a bulbous acrylic cabin and when it's time to resurface, a single lift point makes recovery a breeze.

65m Luxury Undersea Yacht Phoenix 1000 by US Submarines

Written by Zuzana Bednarova

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.

Phoenix 1000 luxury submarine

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.

U-Boat Worx ramps-up NEMO production creating a price revolution for private submersibles

Dutch submersible manufacturer U-Boat Worx has commenced the volume production of its pioneering one and two-seater NEMO submersibles creating a 40% price reduction in the process. The NEMO 1 and 2, which boast a 100 meter (330 ft) depth rating, now carry the seriously affordable price point of € 545,000 and € 590,000 respectively.

The NEMOs are the only private production-built submarines in the world. By embarking on its new scalability model, U-Boat Worx can deliver even greater efficient build times, competitive pricing and an unrivalled owner experience supported by global customer service. Commenting on the affordability that NEMO brings to the private submersible market, U-Boat Worx Founder and Chairman, Bert Houtman, said: “ We set out on a mission to introduce safe and effortless access to the underwater world to as many people as possible. With the NEMO pricing revolution, we’re now taking the next step in this journey with the aim of having 1,000 submarines in operation by 2030.”

The NEMO’s lightweight and compact credentials create a turnkey solution ideally suited to yachts of all sizes. That said, private submarine ownership for non-yacht owners is also now possible thanks to the range of complementary beach launchers, towable car trailers, floating submarine houses and small support crafts developed with submarine mobilisation in mind. The NEMO was conceived by a dedicated team of submarine pilots with a focus on creating an owner-centric design. The first model delivered in 2021 was praised by owners and pilots for its exceptional handling capabilities and thrilling dive experience.

Both NEMO 1 and 2 feature U-Boat Worx’ signature seamless acrylic spherical viewport, battery-powered electrical propulsion, a multitude of safety systems, air-conditioning and certification by world-renowned classification society DNV. On taking delivery of their NEMO, owners have the choice to undergo pilot training at U-Boat Worx’ Sub Center Curaçao, alongside their yacht or at their private premises.

“ Nothing is more liberating than diving into an unknown world of exploration and discovery in the safety and comfort of your own NEMO submarine,”  says   Lex van Rijswijk, NEMO Product Manager.  “We are excited to see volume production of the NEMO usher in a new era of ocean exploration .”

Luxury suites on live-aboard super yacht ulyssia start at $10 million.

A rendering of the live-aborad world-spanning yacht ULYSSIA, planned for a 2029 launch. The ... [+] 130-residence ULYSSIA will travel the world on an itinerary of the passenger-owners choosing.

Where would the travel industry be without dreamers? Wilbur and Orville Wright’s first flight in the North Carolina dunes was just 120 years ago. In 2024, a record-breaking 5 billion people will fly this year .

Dreamers have created everything from great gaming palaces in barren deserts to low-fare airlines. What if your dream was to build an elegant yacht big enough for 250 people to live aboard as they constantly sail around the world?

That’s the goal of ULYSSIA founder Frank Binder, a life-long yachtsman. Binder, a Monaco-based architect, MBA and entrepreneur, recently spoke at a launch event in Los Angeles. The event featured a beautiful scale model of the ship, overlooking a sparking Hollywood Hills pool.

Binder’s dream is ULYSSIA, an upcoming state-of-the-art 320-meter, 15-deck residential superyacht. At 99,600 gross tons, the ULYSSIA will be larger than the World War II battleship Missouri, which weighed 58,000 tons and measured 887 feet. Unlike the battleship, the ULYSSIA will have a 2:1 crew to guest ratio.

ULYSSIA construction is planned to start in late 2024, but no later than September 2025. Delivery is expected in October 2028, but no later than October 2029. The cost of the ship is estimated at $1.5 billion dollars.

The globe-spanning ship is named after Ulysses, the Roman name for Odysseus, who navigated the seas on his great Odyssey. Yachts are female, referred to as ‘she.’ ULYSSIA is thus a female interpretation of Ulysses.

“Our vision is that of a unique lifestyle on a residential yacht that travels the world. This is floating real estate. But it's much more than that. It's about the lifestyle that we're offering, the possibility to discover the world without leaving home, within a community of people that you will find nowhere else,” CEO Frank Binder explained. “We will enable owners to give back as we travel, wherever we see there's need, and we’ll use the yacht as a platform to do ocean conservation work.”

The ship is indeed designed to sail the Seven Seas. She has a draft of just 7.5 meters, making many mid-size harbors accessible. Yet the ship’s broad beam of 34 meters makes the ship’s large residences possible.

Designed to be “the world’s most exclusive residential yacht community,” ULYSSIA comprises 132 residences as well as 22 guest suites for visitors. One-, two-, three- and four-bedroom layouts are available, with immaculate kitchens, pantries, powder rooms and large walk-in closets. Each residence will have an ocean terrace.

All will offer “five-star amenities and curated authentic experiences.” Pets may be able to join your journey, but certain breeds will not be permitted. All will need a ‘pet passport’ with vaccination history.

Residences can be designed ready to occupy, save for personal effects and art works. Alternatively, buyers can appoint their own design team or choose from designs from one of eight world class interior designers. They include lead designer Francesca Muzio, and Jean-Michel Gathy, Nicole Hollis, Sabrina Monte-Carlo, Jenan Hajjar and Lenny Kravitz.

Pricing for the onboard residences starts at EUR 9.6M. The company says the average price is around 18M, with top-end residences around 24.5M. The ship also features several luxurious penthouses that start at 57.5M EUR.

Residents will also pay an annual cost of ownership fee, analogous to the homeowners association fee in a luxury condominium development. ULYSSIA projects the total annual cost of ownership at between 3 and 3.5% of the purchase price. This will cover a food and beverage allowance, all regular maintenance and operating costs including itinerary, fuel, insurance and crew.

To get your foot in the door, there is a 10,000 EUR Reservation Fee, with additional scheduled fees like 20% at Purchase Contract Signing, 20% at Start of Construction, etc. Interested parties can register their interest at ulyssia.com. A member of the Ulyssia Residences team will be in touch.

In addition to the residences, the 15-deck super yacht will have many shared spaces for members to mingle. This includes five restaurants, both an interior and exterior pool, as well as classroom facilities for children, business services for members, and medical facilities slated to include equipment up to MRI machines.

There will be a Mediterranean Restaurant, an Asian Restaurant, a sushi bar, a private dining room, The Grille and the ULYSSIA theatre. There is a gym and a spa with multiple treatment rooms. Then there’s the arts and crafts club, a golf club, a brasserie and even a grocery. There’s a pickleball court and a house of worship, as well as a marina and a beach club.

The ship will also have boats and Zodiac inflatables for island expeditions. Two helicopters will be on board for transport, expeditions and of course, heliskiing. There are also a pair of Triton submarines for underwater exploration.

The ship was designed by experts in the maritime and hospitality industries. Envisioned by Binder, it was designed by Espen Øino and is slated for construction by Meyer Werft , one of the largest, most modern shipyards in the world.

The ship will be powered by efficient internal combustion engines using clean-burning methanol with advanced emission control systems, so that environmental impact will be reduced to a minimum. Advanced laundry and garbage treatment systems will significantly reduce the yacht’s overall energy demand.

ULYSSIA is also able to use green energy via a shore connection. The engines can be shut down completely to reduce emissions and pollution in the ports.

The first three years of the itinerary are pre-determined, due to the lead time required to ensure ULYSSIA can be accommodated at her destinations. Thereafter, a democratically elected board made up of five to seven resident owners will consult residents and the operator to create and approve the itinerary a minimum of two years in advance.

With a shipload of multimillionaires and billionaires, how will ULYSSIA avoid a DIEHARD situation at sea, like piracy, kidnapping, or terrorists making a statement?

According to a spokesperson, ULYSSIA will have a robust safety and security system based on multiple layers of both visible and invisible services. The company partners with Marine Guard, a leader in protecting ultra-high-net-worth families in the marine and yachting industries.

ULYSSIA’s security team will also include several professionals with former Special Forces backgrounds. “We will be able to detect and deal with any threats from the air, on the water and underwater,” said a spokeswoman.

“The ULYSSIA’s residents have the extraordinary opportunity to journey in safety and privacy to all corners of the world from the comfort of their own homes – to chic yachting ports, iconic cities and the remotest locations on Earth,” the spokesperson added. “On the M/Y ULYSSIA, your home is the world, and your life knows no boundaries.”
