We have been on the hunt for unique luxury travel experiences to cover that allow for a bit of social distancing, and this one delivers on every level. We are featuring a company that provides superyachts, but the bonus is that you can also charter a submarine. What is better than social distancing while underwater? I cannot think of a more unique way to add even more excitement to your yacht charter vacation, while also avoiding the crowded tourist hotspots.
The need to add excitement to an already lavish vacation will never go away, but the option to charter a submarine is more than simply a luxury amenity. A vessel like this gives you an opportunity to explore the ocean in a way that is simply a dream for many. While we do love the many scuba diving opportunities around the world while vacationing, there is just something that we really love about enjoying these views underwater from the comfort of your seat.
