Speed enhanced

U-Boat Worx Super Sub, the ultra-luxury three-person submersible which has a depth rating of 300 metres, is now the most flow-dynamic submersible the world has ever seen.

Together with MARIN, the renowned Dutch maritime research institute specialising in computational flow dynamics, the top speed of the Super Sub was optimised from its initial 8-knot estimation up to as much as 10 knots. That is 3 to 4 knots faster than the top cruising speed of a bottlenose dolphin, and 7 knots faster than the average submersible.

The submersible now has the same efficient flow dynamics as an electric car.

“We are very excited about this development,” says U-Boat Worx CEO Bert Houtman.

“It’s something we have been working hard on, and now to have the most flow-dynamic submersible possible, we couldn’t be more pleased. We are confident that our clients will feel the same.”
