At U-Boat Worx we do everything possible to give you the best and safest diving

experience possible. Since our start in 2005 we have grown to become the largest

private submersible builder in the world. Our large fleet consists of 20 different

models, and has changed the standards for private submersibles.

Each U-Boat Worx submersible is engineered and built to the highest standards.

Leading Classification Society DNV GL individually classes each submersible by

extensively testing each component. It is our innovation and in-house engineering

that have led to many “world-firsts” and achievements that illustrate how our

owners explore with the best submersibles.

We are the only submersible manufacturer who builds in series. The benefits of

this approach are straightforward. Our customers enjoy the best quality, highest

reliability and design at industry-defining prices.

The engineers and technicians in our Netherlands-based factory take

individual care of each submersible assuring the highest level of precision and

craftsmanship, to provide customized solutions for a particular mission or a

bespoke design.

It is the quality of our submersibles and the dedication of the team that makes a

U-Boat Worx submersible the best choice for everyone involved, from the owner

and his guests, to the crew and operator.
