Available in four models that seat either two or three people and dive to either 1000 or 3300 feet, Triton is your ticket to the deep ocean. At the touch of a joystick you can journey to hidden reefs, secret shipwrecks and experience the many wonders of the deep. With our yacht integration and training programs, Triton ownership is easier than you think.
Triton Submarines are subject to the worlds most stringent safety testing
The single most important criterion in selecting a submarine is that it must be certified by a known classification agency, preferably ABS as they have the most experience in regulating submarine design and construction. We tell our clients that when the paperwork weighs as much as the submarine, the project is done.
of the U.S. Submarine Group of companies. In addition to Tritons, the group builds larger luxury submarines for yacht-based operations that carry 4-, 6- and 10-passengers (http://ussubs.com) as well as large diesel electric luxury submarines and tourist submarines. The group is also building the worlds first undersea resort in Fiji (http://poseidonresorts. com) and has formed a new company engaged in building sea floor residences and commercial buildings (http://ussubstructures.com).
Triton Submarines LLC is a subsidiary of U.S. Submarines, Inc., and was formed to build and market the worlds most advanced small submersibles.
In 2008, Triton Submarines LLC unveiled the worlds first civilian submersible simulator. The Triton simulator allows our clients an unprecedented opportunity to pilot their submersible on literally dozens of dives before they ever take delivery of the real thing. In the simulator, we teach our clients and/or their representatives normal and emergency operating procedures and everything else they need to become accomplished and safe submersible pilots. We also offer periodic recurrency training in the simulator and the clients submersible. Our commitment to safety and the need for thorough and on-going training is unparalleled in the industry. No other submersible manufacturer has ever made a more serious commitment to training than Triton Submarines has by investing in the technology necessary to create the worlds first manned submersible simulator..
Its nearly impossible to describe just how awe-inspiring the Triton is and how glorious it was to comfortably enjoy being so deep below the surface. I experienced marine life in a way I never could have otherwise. The only problem is now Im spoiled scuba seems so mundane!
Two main thrustars and two vertran thrusters enable the Triton 3300/3 to move in any direction at the touch of a joystick.
Large 550mm acess hatch allows easy entry when boarding from yacht or surface tender.
The 3300/3s pressure hull is the largest acrylic sphere ever made for a manned submersible.
Building on the success of the Triton 1000/2, the worlds only luxury deep submersible designed specifically for yacht based use, Triton Submarines LLC has introduced a new model, the Triton 3300/3, an ABS classed, air conditioned luxury deep submersible that will carry three people to depths of 1000 meters in perfect one-atmosphere comfort and absolute safety. In October Triton Submarines will begin building a series of five of the new Triton 1000/3s that will dive to 305 meters with 3-passengers. The Tritons will be used by a single commercial operation in the South Pacific.
The main balast tanks provide superior freeboard and stablity, making boarding while on the surface safer and easier.
With over 300 years combined submersible experience our engineering depth is clearly superior.
Tritons styling is on par with that of a fine Italian sports car. Form follows function, indeed.

Triton Submarines has collected the finest, most experienced talent in the civil submarine business. Each member of the full time management and staff at the company averages 26.7 years of dedicated civil submarine and submersible experience. Including part time staff the group collectively represents more than 331 years of experience. No competitor even remotely approaches this level of expertise.The Tritons incredible level of competitive superiority is based on the tremendous operations experience of the staff. We know what works in the subsea environment because, more than any group in the world, weve been there. Weve spent thousands of hours piloting more than 80 different civil submarines and submersibles. In addition, our Engineering Manager was in charge of design review at the American Bureau of Shipping for over 25 different submersibles.

Beyond Comparison
Take a close look at the features of our submersible and compare us to the competition. You will see that there is no comparison.
Freeboard is one of the many important features of a manned submersible. Being able to safely and easily board the sub while on the surface is critical.
How valuable is your life and the lives of your loved ones? At Triton Submarines we spare no expense to build the safest civil submarines in the world to the most rigorous

Base prices for the Triton series not including optional equipment: Triton 1000/2: $1.7 million
Deck space is at a premium aboard a yacht and the Tritons compact design is only 10 feet LOA, less than half of most competitors submersibles. This means the sub stows easily and is significantly easier to launch and recover.
TRANSPARENT PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
The main reason for owning a submersible is to experience the incredible diversity of the ocean world and to do that you have to be able to see out of the sub effectively. The Tritons totally transparent passenger compartment provides unsurpassed viewing for the occupants.
SUPERIOR SURFACE STABILITY & FREEBOARD
Unlike many submarines where the hatch cannot be opened with the sub in the water and the occupants have to be loaded into the sub on deck, the Triton can be entered in the water, from the yacht, a tender, or even a jet ski. The Triton does not require an expensive, elaborate, man rated launch and recovery system, making it far more cost effective to own and operate.
UNSURPASSED FORWARD/DOWNWARD VISIBILITY
Triton 1000/3: $2.49 million Triton 3300/2: $2.59 million Triton 3300/3: $2.99 million
When you are cruising in a submersible underwater the best view is forward and down. No sub in the world gives you better viewing and gets you closer to the reef in front and the sea floor below.
DIGITAL TOUCH SCREEN CONTROL & MONITORING
The catamaran configuration of the Triton results in unequalled surface stability making it easy for the occupants to get in and out of the sub while it is in the water. The top mounted entrance hatch provides more freeboard (distance from waterline to the hatch) than any other small submersible. The combination of suface stability and freeboard represent the single most important safety factor in submersible operations.
A highly sophisticated and proprietary digital touch screen control, navigation and monitoring system makes Triton uniquely easy to operate and reduces pilot workload. Embedded checklists, automated alarms and an advanced autopilot system improves safety as well.
THREE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLS Digital proportional joystick control coupled to thrusters that move the sub in all three axes provides for unsurpassed intuitive maneuverability. INDUSTRYS MOST ADVANCED TRAINING & SUPPORT Triton is the only sub company that has invested in a deep submersible pilot simulator for customer familiarization and pilot training. Every owner is contractually obligated to have an operator successfully complete our in-house pilot and maintenance training program which sets the industry standard for effectiveness. Customer support is also available 24/7. OPERATIONS & DESIGN EXPERIENCE The Triton designers and operations senior staff are the most experienced civil sub experts in the world. Patrick Lahey, Tritons president, is the most experienced civil sub pilot active in the world today. Our far reaching experience means we have seen the effective design and operations solutions in many environments and this results in our ability to engineer the worlds
best submersibles.
