Are you an overweight megalomaniac who dreams of world domination and a fluffy white cat who loves to be petted as you deliberately veiled threats against your subordinates? The Dutch boat maker U-Boat Worx has exactly what you are looking for: the Nemo personal electric mini sub!
The Nemo is all-electric and can be ordered in a one- or two-passenger configuration. Both versions offer an underwater top speed of about 3 knots (about 3.5 MPH), a diving depth of about 100 meters (330 feet), and up to 8 hours of undersea adventures (just — you know, watch that battery gauge).
U-Boat Worx claims the Nemo is the lightest crewed sub ever designed at “just” 4,600 pounds for the single-seater, and claims it has the smallest storage footprint of any commercially available minisub, taking up just as much space like two jet ski Taiga Orca PWCs. Make sure you have a proper crane installed on your yacht to be able to launch this bad boy.
Do you NOT have a crane on your yacht?
No, you need a tap; courtesy of U-Boat Worx.
The Nemo 1 and Nemo 2 are available for pre-order online, starting at a practically budget-conscious $600,000 – chump change, in other words, for the crane hunting kit. Besides, can you? For real put a price tag on a super bad electric watercraft like this one?
Obviously not. Just be sure to leave your fuzzy kitty on land – you DO NOT want Mr. Sniffles to flip out a stage 5 and claw at ribbons at 200 ft. beneath the surface, you know?
You know, but maybe you don’t know what you think of this particular new EV yet. To help you out, I’ve added a few more photos and invite you to share your thoughts on the new Nemo in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
