Super Sub Reaches Curaçao for Sea Trials
U-Boat Worx has sent its new Super Sub to Curaçao for final sea trials and validation dives before delivery. The trials will test performance under real-world tropical conditions.
Purpose of the Curaçao Trial Programme
The trials will verify stability, control systems, and underwater performance before owner hand-over.
What Happens Before Delivery
Engineers will run safety checks, performance runs, and manoeuvrability trials. Only after approval will the Super Sub leave for delivery.
Unmatched Speed and Underwater Performance
The Super Sub can reach up to 10 knots, making it the fastest private submersible on the market. It also dives to 300 metres and boasts powerful thrusters and sleek hydrodynamic design for agile underwater motion.
Hydrodynamic Design & Thrusters
Its droplet-shaped hull with advanced wing-tail configuration reduces drag. Four thrusters give 100 kW of thrust, enabling steep climbs, rapid turns, and responsive control.
Speed Compared with Marine Life
At 10 kn, the Super Sub moves faster than many large marine animals, offering a rare chance to glide alongside sea turtles, barracudas or pods of dolphins.
Comfort, Safety, and the Passenger Experience
The sub carries a pilot plus two passengers. Its front acrylic hull ensures 360° panoramic visibility — an immersive underwater experience. Interiors combine ergonomic seating with a five-point harness ensuring safety even during agile maneuvers.
Cabin Design and Visibility
Luxury-style seating and clear acrylic hull provide superb comfort and visibility — ideal for exploration or marine life observation.
Safety Features and Certification
The Super Sub holds safety certification (DNV), includes maximum-depth protection, an emergency buoy, and life-support systems for up to 96 hours — essential for private submersible safety.
What This Means for Private Underwater Exploration
The Super Sub raises the bar for personal submersibles. Its blend of speed, depth, manoeuvrability, comfort and safety positions it as the ideal choice for superyacht owners seeking underwater adventure.
A New Benchmark in Submersible Luxury
With this sub, owners can expect not just a dive — but a high-end underwater experience combining performance, comfort, and reliability.
Expanding the Vision of Yacht Toys
As personal submarines evolve beyond static submersibles, the Super Sub signals a shift — from passive underwater viewing to active, agile exploration.
