The world of luxury is changing everyday. Now, Dutch submersible manufacturer, U-Boat Worx is offering people a unique underwater experience, especially for marine life and deep-sea enthusiasts.
Specifications
Spacious and luxurious, the new submersible is called UWEP which stands for Under Water Entertainment Platform. The exterior is a simple black, which extends to a spacious 1,600 sq. ft. interior that can carry up to 120 guests, excluding staff and crew members.
Fourteen windows on the submarine give guests the perfect view of the underwater world with a series of exterior lights that illuminate the surroundings while adding an extra dimension, especially for night-time diving or deep-sea dining experiences.
Along with the interior space, the UWEP also features a spacious 85-meter sundeck fitted with safety railings where guests can relax after a dive.
The submarine is fully airconditioned and can dive to a depth of about 200 meters, for up to 18-hours. The number of dives per day, according to U-Boat Worx, is said to be virtually unlimited. This allows guests to make the most of their investment.
The perfect venue
If you’ve ever wanted to have an underwater party then the UWEP is perfect for you. This unique submarine is customisable and can transform into anything you need – a 64-seater Michelin-star restaurant, casino, gym or conference.
With the available customisations, the submersible is ideal for any type of event, weddings, conference meetings, presentations, launch events, hospitality and network events or pretty much any social event.
According to U-Boat Worx, the UWEP can run non-stop for 24 hours on battery power alone. The submersible can be recharged and reprovisioned in a port or floating dock, where guests can board the submarine via two access hatches, as per reports from Boat International.
Bert Houtman, Founder and CEO of U-Boat Worx spoke about the new submersible saying, “The UWEP will shake up both the submarine and hospitality industry and lead the way in bespoke underwater events. We will not only present a stellar experience for the most discerning clientele but also a business opportunity that will benefit entrepreneurs and contribute to our understanding of the oceans.”
Roy Heijdra, Marketing Manager for U-Boat Worx added, “Our goal as a company has always been to make the oceans more accessible for everyone, and with the launch of our UWEP we can truly say that U-Boat Worx provides your gateway to discovery”.
