American designer Steve Kozloff has introduced a new hybrid submarine yacht concept, the Deep Sea Dreamer. With an estimated construction cost of about 250 million USD, this ship can carry up to six people and offers unprecedented underwater experiences.
The Deep Sea Dreamer is constructed from sturdy steel and features many large windows and an observation room that allows passengers to enjoy impressive views of the ocean while diving. The ship is equipped with a hybrid diesel-electric propulsion system consisting of two Cummins engines, an electric motor, and 10 directional thrusters. Its maximum speed is 18.5 km/h, while its cruise speed is 11 km/h, achieved in a semi-submerged state.
This unique ship can operate like a normal yacht when floating on the water and can sail just below the water’s surface on longer trips where weather conditions do not affect passengers. The Deep Sea Dreamer’s estimated operating range is 11,112 km, equivalent to an operating time of about 42 days at a speed of 11 km/h. Kozloff designed the ship with a focus on relaxation rather than speed and it is capable of anchoring on the seabed for up to seven days.
Passengers can easily move between decks thanks to watertight elevators or ladder tubes on Deep Sea Dreamer. The snorkel column provides fresh air and exhausts gases when operating below the water’s surface. With its unique design and capabilities, Deep Sea Dreamer promises an unforgettable and luxurious underwater journey for those looking for a one-of-a-kind experience at sea.
Kozloff’s latest creation is sure to be a hit among those seeking adventure and luxury at sea, offering passengers an unprecedented underwater experience that combines comfort with technology in one unique vessel.
