The MIGALOO: An Ultra-Luxury Private Submarine That Comes With A Pool



From YouTube: Check out this ultra-lux submarine. Called The MIGALOO, it offers upscale amenities like a pool and a large deck.

Choosing a yacht can be such a chore for wealthy folks. With almost too many to choose from, you might have an easier time picking your perfect submarine.

The MIGALOO is billed as "The Ultimate Lux Sub". It offers upscale amenities like a pool and a large deck for relaxation.

Marketed as an alternative to luxury yachts, as expected, it offers the option to travel below the water's surface.

Measuring over 375 feet long by 36 feet wide, the submarine is anything but small. It bears the appearance of a traditional submarine in most aspects but the tower is custom designed in order to house a staircase and elevator shaft.

The designers stated "The enormous space of the aft deck includes lounge areas, sun beds, a bar, an 8 by 3 meter-pool as well as a heli-pad that offer a wide range of activities and possibilities. When MIGALOO is submerged, all furniture is stored in large storages underneath the granite decking."

What do you think? Would you like to own this submarine?

When director James Cameron descended to the bottom of the Pacific on Monday, he not only shed light on the world's deepest ocean, but the world's most exclusive hobby: private submarine voyages.

The phenomenally profitable director of "Avatar" piloted an ungainly looking, bright green, one-seat sub to an amazing 36,000 feet, or 11,000 meters, down into the Mariana Trench.

Only the third person to go there, Cameron led the mission, which was entirely privately funded.

Are Submarines The New Yachts For The Wealthy? -- ABC News

Some call it the final frontier. While humans have breached the limitations of land, air and space, the underwater world remains largely untouched.

In addition to researchers and scientists, another group has taken an interest in the underwater unknown--the mega-rich.

The race to the bottom of the sea is being led by director James Cameron and British entrepreneur Richard Branson.
