This is the U-Boat Nemo II submersible, and it’s the supercar of submarines.
It’s built for private, under-the-sea voyages and is arguably the world’s coolest billionaire toy.
It’s jampacked with insane technology, including a panic button and a little external arm that’s controlled with a joystick.

The Nemo can travel at speeds of up to 3 knots.
It may not sound like much but it can dive 100 meters (330 ft) below the water’s surface.

It is relatively small and compact, measuring 280 cm / 110 in length, but thanks to its width (92 in / 231 cm), it can easily accommodate the ‘driver’ and a passenger in full comfort.
The cockpit is protected by an ultra-thick (five-centimeter) windshield made of acrylic.
You can even spec it with a little arm that you can control with a joystick and use to catch things, as well as a front-mounted sonar to navigate underwater.
The submersible Nemo submarine is fully electric, and it is powered by two jets on each side, for vertical and horizontal propulsion.
You also have a ‘panic button’ for safety reasons.
You push it, and it fills a little tank at the back with oxygen so that the submersible floats to the surface automatically.
Once aboard, you’ll find a dashboard in front of you with a compass and all the info you need.
And you also have speakers to play your tunes.
Obviously, this being a billionaire’s toy, you can customize it with different colors for the exterior and the interior.
And the price?
The cheapest Nemo submarine you can buy will set you back $545,000.
And for an additional cost, you can add extras and customize it how you like.
It might be expensive, but it’s also the coolest big kids’ toy imaginable.
