12/22/2023 0 Comments Triton submarine for sale![]() ![]() We are negotiating with another group in the UAE as well,” revealed Jones. ![]() “One of our clients in Dubai owns a Triton 3300/3. It exhibits at the annual Dubai International Boat Show and has already made inroads in the region. Triton is a familiar name here in the Middle East. The Triton 1650/7 Configurable meanwhile is the world’s first single-hulled, 500-metre capable, seven-person submersible produced until now. The six-person submersible can descend to depths of 1,000 metres and features the largest acrylic pressure hull produced to date. This is the first of the DeepView series, which includes subs that can carry as few as six passengers, or as many as 66,” explained Jones, adding that the delivery of the first $6.76m DeepView 24 is expected shortly to an undisclosed Vietnamese client who has ordered it for their portfolio of resorts.Ī smaller, but deeper-diving tourism-focused sub is the $5.35m Triton 3300/6. ![]() “The Triton DeepView 24 is a revolutionary 4th-generation tourist sub designed to make up to 12 dives per day, including night dives, carrying 24 passengers. It features broad acrylic panels that allow for uninterrupted vistas of the surrounding water body. The first DeepView sub is set to be delivered later this year and will be able to dive to depths of 100 metres while carrying 24 passengers and 2 crew members. While these deep-diving vessels can be used by researchers, filmmaking crews or even serve as vanity-soothing ego-inflating toys for the elite, there’s a bright – and yet untapped – burgeoning industry of underwater tourism, that Triton is set to tap with its latest multi-seater DeepView series of subs. The Triton 36,000/2 was used in the Five Deeps Expedition Its least-expensive personal sub meanwhile dives to 305 metres and costs $2.7m, while its most expensive sub in existence takes two people to 11,000 metres (Challenger Deep-levels) and is priced north of $30m. The popular Triton 3300/3 which dives to 1,000 metres and carries three people, costs approximately $4m. On average, the team hand-builds less than 10 submersibles a year. The company has around 50 employees spread across two locations – one in Florida and the other in Barcelona. Jones along with Patrick Lahey co-founded the privately-held company 12 years ago at a time when, as Jones says, they “realised there was a distinct market for smaller, deep-diving luxury submersibles.” “The pressure on the personnel capsule – 16,000 pounds per square inch, at the bottom of Challenger Deep – is equivalent to a stack of 292 fully-loaded 747s,” L.Bruce Jones, the CEO and co-founder of the Florida-headquartered Triton Submarines, told Gulf Business. What sort of an engineering daredevilry does it take to build such a sub? In fact, Russian oil billionaire, Roman Abramovich, was noted for exclaiming, "If you can find my submarine, it's yours." We're pretty sure he's got the winning hand on that.Those death-defying descents were undertaken by intrepid adventurer and American businessman Victor Vescovo who used his $37m two-seater personal submersible, a Triton 36,000/2 sub christened Limiting Factor, which is the world’s first certified full ocean depth submersible constructed using a titanium hull and rated to dive to depths of up to 11,000 metres. Divers can submerge with the crafts on the aft and port sides to stay nearby and use as a home base.Įvidently, there are 100 personal, luxury submarines flitting around the Seven Seas, but the owners remain anonymous and generally require confidentiality clauses with the submarine manufacturers. The smaller submarines seem to be the pride and joy of those who love to dive or watch divers. These sleek vessels come in all different shapes and sizes, from two-person sizes to a size large enough to host a party. Some owners are in it just to follow whale songs and see the various pods of creatures, while others want to dive or hunt for shipwrecks. Although normal, above sea-level activities happen on these private vessels, the biggest draw for many is the incredible opportunity to observe sea life, all in the safety and comfort of their own viewing stations. All of the submarines that we're about to reveal include everything from whirlpool spas to full-sized state rooms with an under ocean view. ![]()
