This flagship design represents the pinnacle of U-Boat Worx’ engineering expertise and innovation. The Super Sub features a sleek droplet-shaped hull and advanced wing configurations, making it one of the most hydrodynamic submersibles ever crafted.
Its propulsion system, featuring four proprietary in-house-engineered thrusters, delivers a total of 100 kW and enables speeds of up to 9 knots underwater.

Crafted for excellence
The Super Sub was conceived through U-Boat Worx’ bespoke submarine programme, providing owners with the opportunity to have a submarine crafted beyond the standard range of submersibles. This tailored approach ensures the submersible embodies the unique tastes and aspirations of its owner.
Adventure, thrill, and beyond
While the Super Sub is perfect for adventure and thrill-seekers, U-Boat Worx also envisions broader applications for this advanced submersible. Its speed, agility, and manoeuvrability make it a strong candidate for use in search and rescue missions or other specialised operations, opening new possibilities in underwater exploration and response efforts.
