U-BOAT WORX – Nexus 8 Luxury Submarine
UP TO 9 OCCUPANTS
The seating arrangement consists of 3 luxury full-size business-class seats for adults on both sides of the pilot. The pilot has a fixed seat at the centre of the submarine. The NEXUS 8 has a user-configurable seat. This full-size seat for a guest, scientist or expedition leader can easily be converted to a comfortable bench that seats two children up to the age of 12. This would result in the NEXUS 8 to accommodate 1 pilot, 6 adults, and 2 children – a total of 9 occupants!
The configurable seat allows a high degree of flexibility in your mission profile.
No compromise will be made towards safety equipment, life support, or endurance and comfort.

ELLIPTICAL VIEWPORT
From a viewing perspective, the NEXUS offers the most immersive dive experience on the market. The absence of top- or side-floaters on the exterior design gifts an unhindered interior observation window. All occupants benefit from a clear line of sight in all directions, at all times.
The innovative elliptical pressure hull is made from three sections that are bonded together to form one undisturbed seamless viewport. Please note this pressure hull design causes a level of distortion that is not experienced in more traditional spherical submarines. To minimise distortion and possible discomfort, U-Boat Worx has opted for an optimal transition in the thickness between the sections.
INTERIOR CONFIGURATIONS
There is no denying that an exquisitely designed interior adorned with high-quality materials and beautiful finishes is one of the exclusive features found in the NEXUS. But great aesthetics count for nothing without the corresponding space. Alongside a life-affirming front-row seat, the NEXUS interior is designed from a passenger-centric perspective. What this means is that the generous layout gifts passengers more leg room, greater ceiling height and a larger amount of personal space than found on any other submersible in the industry.
What’s more, a myriad of user-defined interior configurations mean the NEXUS can easily be adapted to suit a large variety of different
OMNI-DIRECTIONAL CONTROL
Another major design achievement is the NEXUS’ ability to move in any direction. This was proven time-and-again as a must-have capability in the Cruise Sub series. So, in addition to basic manoeuvres, such as forward, reverse, up and down movements, the submersible can also move laterally. Lateral movements greatly optimise the submersible’s object approach and dive efficiency, therefore enhancing passengers’ view and giving the pilot greater freedom to explore.
