Nautilus, the underwater superyacht that revisits the concept of Jules Verne

The designer of individual submarines U-Boat Worx has designed a submersible superyacht capable of sailing on and under water. Its luxurious interior has been designed to make the most of the underwater world.

Navigate on or under water

The Nautilus is a diesel-electric underwater yacht concept capable of descending to a depth of 150 meters and with a range of 3,200 miles. It was designed by U-Boat Worx, a Dutch submarine manufacturer, in collaboration with Officina Armare for the design. This adventure vessel is capable of cruising at a speed of 9 knots on the surface and 4 knots when submerged. It draws its inspiration from Jules Verne's novel, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and offers all the amenities to enjoy on and under water.
