The latest C-Explorer 5 submersible by U-Boat Worx was successfully launched at the 2012 Monaco Yacht Show. This highly-innovative superyacht toy belongs to the range of exploration submersibles that are available in configurations for one to six passengers.
The C-Explorer 5 can dive up to depths of 300 meters for up to 16 hours and is equipped with 6 powerful thrusters, a robotic manipulator arm, imaging sonar, high-intensity LED lights and many other features. There is for example a small Remote Operated Vehicle (ROV) that can fly out the C-Explorer 5 to explore spots the submersible cannot reach!
With its practical configuration and full 360-degree acrylic pressure hull, this exceptional submersible cruises at 3 knots below the surface offering unparalleled performance.
Freedom, autonomy and vision, the C-Explorer 5 offers an infinite array of opportunities that are just waiting to be explored. For yachts to explore the depths of the oceans and for tourist operators that want to offer their clientele a semi-private undersea experience, this submersible is forging a new window of opportunity. It can unambiguously call itself world’s first subsea limousine.
