Submersibles at the Monaco Yacht Show 2025
28 September 2025 – Each year, the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) attracts a wide range of superyachts to the Principality. This four-day event is widely regarded as the premier yachting exhibition. Alongside yachts, a myriad of luxury products and services are on display, including submersibles.
Submersibles have been an integral part of MYS since 2007, when U-Boat Worx first exhibited at the show.
This year’s edition saw the presence of the three dominant manned submersible manufacturers: U-Boat Worx, Triton Submersibles, and Seamagine. U-Boat Worx had a NEMO submersible on display and launched its “lease programme.”
ICON Yachts – Project Mission M
Type: New Concept
Named Mission M, this 50-meter, 499GT explorer yacht can be built on ICON 50’s proven platform and engineered for serious expeditions. With Ice Class 1D and Polar Code C ratings, she’s ready for long-range operations in tropical and Arctic waters, carrying commercial-grade equipment and heavy-duty deck machinery usually found on yachts above 500GT.
Spanning six decks, Mission M combines functional expedition design with comfort. The split-level layout, 270-degree bridge views, and skylounge connect guests to the action, while interiors by Carla Guilhem Design provide four guest cabins and a private owner’s deck.
Her 10-meter aft deck is expedition-ready, capable of lifting 9.6 tons with a 15-meter crane, and configurable for labs, submersibles, or modular expedition gear. Mission M can carry tenders, a U-Boat Worx NEMO submersible, or an ICON A5 seaplane, along with watersports gear, making her both a luxury yacht and a research platform.
Powered by twin Caterpillar engines, she cruises at 12 knots (top speed 24 knots) with commercial-grade systems and safety features, offering reliability and versatility for global adventures.
SILVERCAT – Silver Yachts
Type: Newbuild
Silver Yachts offers a range of catamaran hull yachts that can operate as standalone superyacht or support yacht.
The large deckspace and stability provide for an ideal launch platform for submersibles.
At the show various configurations were shown, including two models with a U-Boat Worx Super Yacht Sub 3 (weight: 3.8 tons).
