U-Boat Worx has unveiled a new way to bring deep-sea exploration to a wider audience with the launch of its “Charter-a-Sub” Wet Lease programme. Designed as a fully managed, turnkey model, this offering allows resorts, cruise lines, and charter yacht operators to host underwater experiences without owning a submersible or managing its operations.
Founded in 2005, U-Boat Worx has long aimed to democratise access to the undersea world. The Wet Lease model represents a significant step forward. By removing the usual hurdles—high upfront costs, technical complexity, and strict regulatory compliance—the company enables more organisations to offer guests an unforgettable dive below the surface.
A Fully Managed Experience
Clients choosing the Wet Lease model receive everything needed for submersible operations:
- Choice of 2, 3, 5 or 7-seat submarines
- Certified pilots and crew
- Maintenance and servicing
- Local compliance and permitting
- Full operational and logistical support
“Operators no longer need to worry about recruitment, training or technical upkeep,” explained Wilbert Beilsma, U-Boat Worx’s new Commercial Director. “You bring the guests, and we take care of the rest.”
For Tourism, Education and Conservation
The programme suits a wide range of sectors—from luxury tourism to marine conservation. For guests, it’s a rare chance to explore untouched underwater ecosystems, inspiring a stronger connection to ocean conservation.
This new service joins U-Boat Worx’s existing financial models, which include outright purchase, financial and operational leases, and fractional ownership. The Wet Lease now offers a flexible, full-service alternative for those who prefer a plug-and-play solution.
With over 60 submersibles and 10,000 dives completed, U-Boat Worx continues to lead in both innovation and underwater adventure.
