About
The NEMO submersible is a cutting-edge, compact, and lightweight personal submarine designed for underwater exploration, research, and recreation.
Developed by U-Boat Worx, NEMO is engineered for ease of use, safety, and high maneuverability, making it ideal for private owners, researchers, and superyacht deployment.
Capable of diving to depths of up to 100 meters (330 feet), it offers a fully pressurized, air-conditioned cabin with panoramic views, allowing occupants to experience the underwater world in comfort and style.
With its intuitive controls and minimal operational requirements, the NEMO stands out as one of the most accessible and user-friendly submersibles on the market.

Commissioned in 2023 in Curaçao for a private owner, this NEMO submersible has seen only its initial training dives with the client.
Following delivery, it has been carefully stored in a climate-controlled warehouse, maintained in pristine “as-new” condition.
Regular inspections and check-ups have been performed to ensure peak operational readiness, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a virtually unused, fully maintained submersible.
The NEMO’s original classification status has expired and will require a reclassification survey. Although the submersible has not been used since commissioning, several preventative maintenance items are required.
All work can be completed by the original manufacturer, U-Boat Worx.
The cost for these services is included in the advertised asking price, based on the work being carried out by factory technicians in Los Angeles, where the NEMO is currently stored.
Depending on the buyer’s preference, the submersible can also be shipped to the U-Boat Worx facility in the Netherlands, or serviced at another approved location.
As part of the delivery process, a series of test dives and new sea trials will be conducted. From the time of purchase, and depending on the buyer’s specific requirements, we recommend allowing approximately 3–4 months for scheduling, servicing, and preparation before the NEMO is ready for full operation.
