This Triton Submarine Is the Underwater Toy Your Superyacht Has Been Waiting for

Given that water covers 71% of Earth’s surface, it’s obvious that owning a boat opens a vast new world of possibilities to explore. But, even sailors know that still leaves a whole lot more to explore under the water. For that, you need a legit personal submersible. Introducing: the Triton 1000/2 MKII Submarine.

The Triton 1000/2 MKII is the next iteration of Triton Submarines’ already capable 1000/2 model. Their entry-level submersible is designed to be compact and lightweight for easy transporting aboard most luxury yachts in the sub-500GT sector. At just 10.5 feet in length by 8.8 feet in width, it slots into even the smallest yacht garages. The 6,600-pound dry weight also means it’s easily movable with a modest marine crane.

The surprisingly swanky cockpit seats two with a list of amenities that rivals most luxury cars. Climate control, USB ports, a premium audio system, and a bevy of touchscreens are all standard. The entire space is encased in a 270-degree sphere with panoramic views around and straight down. Triton is quick to note that their sphere features a proprietary thermoformed polymerized acrylic technology for perfect optical clarity. Passengers can cruise to depths of 1,000 feet for up to 10 hours at a top speed of four knots.

Triton Submarines has long been the gold standard for submersibles. If 1,000 feet down just isn’t deep enough, the company’s premium line of Ultra-Deep Diving Submersibles is capable of taking you anywhere that’s covered by ocean. The Triton 7500/3 is the deepest diving, transparent-hulled submersible in the world capable of exploring almost a mile and a half down. When you need to go even deeper, however, the flagship Triton 36000/3 is ready for “full ocean depth.” It’s the next-generation of the Triton 36000/2 which was used earlier this month in the deepest submarine dive in history – a world-record 35,853 feet in the Mariana Trench. Of course, if money is no object, well-heeled expeditioners can work directly with Triton on a custom, Pimp My Ride-style build complete with cupholders and a dash-mounted shark tank.

The Triton 1000/2 MKII is available for around USD $2.7 million. But, if you’re the sort of hotshot who’s shopping for a personal submarine, does the price really matter?

The 2025 BMW X7 M60i may be the sportiest full-sized SUV on the market
Driving this, you forget you're in a full-sized SUV

The luxury SUV market is a little crowded these days, so sometimes it’s difficult to stand out. There’s an argument that you should play to your historic strengths if you want to succeed, and that’s likely what BMW has done with the X7 M60i SUV. The vehicle is much larger than your average Blimmer, but at its core, it has all of the qualities that BMW customers tend to appreciate.

I recently spent some time looking at BMW’s biggest SUV, which has been enhanced with an “M” package. So, before hopping in the driver’s seat, I was already expecting a good amount of comfort paired with exceptional power. This is why the X7 M60i did not disappoint on either front.
It’s very aggressive, like a tiger on a leash
