U-Boat Worx has announced the launch of a completely new class of submarine – the "Under Water Entertainment Platform", or UWEP for shortone. The UWEP has been designed to host the most prestigious and memorable events, such as product presentations, parties, weddings, conferences, or any other stage-based performance.

“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," says Bert Houtman, founder and CEO of U-Boat Worx.

Over 150 sq. m of floor space can be configured by the operator, varying from an underwater restaurant with 64 seats, a subsea gym, or a deep-sea casino. The UWEP is a completely autonomous submersible with capacity for up to 120 guests, excluding crew. Guests will experience diving to depths up to 200 meters in comfort and style, and are free to walk around just as they would aboard a cruise ship.

The UWEP has fourteen windows connecting the guests directly to the underwater world. A series of exterior lights illuminate the surroundings and add an extra dimension, whether to night-time diving or deep-sea dining experiences. The UWEP runs solely on batteries and can operate non-stop for 24 hours.

“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,” says Roy Heijdra, Marketing Manager for U-Boat Worx.
