Live Like a Bond Villain on the World’s Largest Submersible Super Yacht

When you have Jeff Bezos money and James Bond villain swagger, you need your super yacht to have that little something extra that sets it apart. Like something out of a childhood fantasy, Migaloo is a completely customizable yacht that also happens to be a submarine.

The brainchild of Motion Code: Blue, an Austrian company specializing in luxury yacht concept design, the Migaloos are available from 236 feet up to a staggering 928 feet long. To get an idea of just how long that is, it’s the equivalent of three Statue of Liberties stacked on top of each other.

These yachts are inspired by the Navy’s Zumwalt-class destroyers, so not only are that super luxurious, they’re totally badass. If The Poseidon Adventure taught us anything, it’s that life on the high seas isn’t always smooth sailing. That’s when Migaloo dives deep, avoiding the rough waters above and providing you with a comfortable, climate-controlled living environment (and zero chance of your ship flipping upside down in a storm). Using the specifications for the Navy’s Virginia-class attack subs as a jumping off point for the design, Motion Code: Blue claims their submarine yachts can stay submerged for several weeks.

Having trouble deciding how to trick out your super yacht? Migaloo is available in four pre-designed options, starting with the “small” M2, which is 72 meters long, and going all the way up to the behemoth M7 that can be built to 283 meters, making it the world’s largest submersible super-yacht.

Each style includes luxury features worthy of that supervillian life, allowing you and three dozen of your closest friends to party at sea indefinitely. Migaloo yachts have it all: swimming pools, helipads, underwater viewing galleries for spotting sea life, movie rooms, and plenty of bars sprinkled throughout. If you can dream it, your Migaloo yacht probably comes with it. And don’t worry about where to store all of your ocean-exploring toys. Each yacht has dry hangars and wet garages that can hold everything from jet skis to mini subs.

These yachts are still just a concept; no one has stepped up to actually buy one yet. But that hasn’t stopped us from fantasizing about how incredible it would be to own one. And while you’re at it, you might as well order the matching private floating island, which comes decked out with palm trees, a beach, underwater dining room, and of course a shark feeding station, because why not.

If you have ever gotten the news that your car or truck has been recalled, you know that it can be a very frightening experience. If you are anything like me, you have visions of your car spontaneously combusting into a fireball while commuting home from a long day of work (because it can't ever be on the way into work and get you a day off).

However, nuance needs to be applied when it comes to vehicle recalls. Some recalls can be minor, especially with today's level of connectivity. Many recalls that involve a vehicle's software issue can be remedied via an over-the-air update and do not require anything from the car or truck's owner.

Bugatti has developed a special garage to display its vehicles
The FG-01 Bugatti Edition is the ultimate garage
Bugatti garage

Although admittedly, I have never owned a Bugatti, I have owned a few exciting cars over the years. And while most of those purchases were made out of my love for each one, I would be lying if I said that the head-turns and thumbs up I received while driving those vehicles did not add to the fun of ownership.

Multiplying that feeling exponentially, I can only imagine that if I were to pay several million dollars for any of Bugatti's unbelievably stellar machines, I would want to show it off to anyone and everyone I could, driving or not. Apparently, I am not alone in that thinking because Bugatti has created the FG-01 Garage to address that exact problem.
