The Platypus

First ever worldwide semi-submersible

THE PLATYPUS Coast Explorer represents the DNA of the original Platypus concept, with a complete equipment allowing a resort or a touristic operator to offer to their customers the whole capacity of Platypus: navigate with 10 passengers on the surface and 6 under the surface.

The Platypus Coast Explorer answers to all requirements with:
  • A power of 2*150 HP providing a surface speed of 25 knots max.
  • A digital periscope to watch what happens on the surface… 4 cameras on the roof provide a 360° permanent vision to the pilot on the dashboard.
  • The breathing system is fully integrated and virtually « no-limit » thanks to 2 hookah systems (Nardi compressori system).
  • Light for night navigation underwater (2 led projectors).
And all the equipment & comfort you can expect from such a craft (shower, radio, GPS, etc…)
You prefer Electric power ? Yes we can! An e-Platypus is available starting with 2*10Kw power up to 2*50Kw (equipment is roughly the same).
