Project Neptune’s interior was a great challenge. Unlike a sports car where the interiors are installed into an open-sided cabin before the doors are fitted, everything you see inside will be lowered through the upper-hatch and assembled within the completed sphere of the pressure hull. The interior is quintessentially Aston Martin – a luxurious mix of hand-stitched leather and high-performance carbon fibre, assembled without obstructing the panoramic sight-lines that Triton submersibles are famous for.
Super Yacht Sub 3 / U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub
Compact and luxurious private submarines especially designed to fit aboard superyachts.

Not only is there space for a pilot and two passengers but a whole host of scientific equipment can also fit into this luxury submarine that can dive to depths of up to 1,100 metres. It can cruise at speeds of three knots and remain submerged for up to 18 hours. Finally, auto depth and auto heading make piloting the 1100 relatively simple.
