THUNDERBIRD 2 SUBMARINE SUPPORT VESSEL

This vessel, designed and built by Brilliant Boats in Antalya, was conceived to carry a Triton 3 pax 1000 meters submarine weighting 8 tons. 

Two of them are actually being built in aluminum for a US client who also has the project of building a submarine house in Belize.  The hulls, quite fast, were originally designed for windfarms support vessels in the North Sea so they can accommodate bad weather. The interior design is by french Miami based Karine Rousseau.

You can vote for this project at the International Yachts and Aviation awards in the category : yacht concept design under 50 meters.
