Because 95% of the underwater world is unexplored
Exploring inner space
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.
Imagine being able to explore the ocean depths in your own private inner-space ship in complete comfort and safety. Imagine the delight and excitement on
the faces of your friends and guests as they visit a strange, new world, replete with myriad forms of exotic marine life. Imagine exploring
places where no human has ever been before. Imagine owning a Triton, the most advanced deep submersible ever created.
Triton Submarines LLC is part
of the U.S. Submarine Group of
companies. In addition to Tritons,
the group builds larger luxury sub-
marines 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 world’s first undersea
resort in Fiji (http://poseidonresorts.
com) and has formed a new com-
pany 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 world’s most advanced small submersibles.
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.”
An exaggeration, but securing classification is expensive and time consuming.
The Triton 1000/2: two occupants to 1000 feet (305 m).
The Triton 3300/2: two occupants to 3280 feet (1000 m).
The Triton 1000/3: three occupants to 1000 feet (305 m).
The Triton 3300/3: three occupants to 3280 feet (1000 m).
ABS classed submarines
and submersibles have a
perfect safety record and
are statistically the safest
form of transportation in
the world today. Tens of
millions of passen-
gers have been carried
aboard ABS classed
submarines without a
single serious injury
or fatality.
Triton Submarines are subject to the world’s most stringent safety testing
While you will find comfort in our perfect
safety record, you will be perfectly
comfortable with ergonomic
Triton design and layout.
The fully air conditioned passenger compartment of the Triton
remains at surface pressure irrespective of diving depth,
so the occupants experience no pressure change.
The fully upright seating is comfortable for hours
on end and the incredible viewing from the
transparent acrylic sphere has no equal.
Safety & Comfort Safe, secure and extremely comfortable:
“It’s 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 I’m spoiled – scuba seems so mundane!”
Riki Altman, Journalist
In 2008, Triton Submarines LLC
unveiled the world’s 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 deliv-
ery of the real thing. In the simulator,
we teach our clients and/or their
representatives normal and emer-
gency operating procedures and
everything else they need to become
accomplished and safe submersible
pilots. We also offer periodic recur-
rency training in the simulator and
the client’s submersible. Our com-
mitment 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 world’s first
manned submersible simulator..
With over 300 years combined submersible experience – our engineering depth is clearly superior.
The new standard of engineering excellence in luxury submarines:
The Triton 3300/3 is the most versatile Triton that has been designed
to date. It can take a pilot and two passengers in absolute safety and
comfort to an amazing 3280 feet (1000 m).
The 3300/3’s pressure hull is the largest acrylic sphere ever made for a manned submersible.
The main balast tanks provide superior freeboard and stablity, making boarding while on the surface safer and easier.
Large 550mm acess hatch allows easy entry when boarding from yacht or surface tender.
The 3300/3 is powered entirely by two large battery banks.
Two main thrustars and two vertran thrusters enable the Triton 3300/3 to move in any direction at the touch of a joystick.
Building on the success of the Triton 1000/2, the world’s only luxury deep submersible designed specifically for yacht based use, Triton Submarines LLC has intro-duced 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-passen-gers. The Tritons will be used by a single commercial operation in the South Pacific.
Stunning new styling leaves no doubt that you are piloting the sexiest, most contemporary deep submersible in the world. This Triton offers you an unprecedented opportunity to show friends and family the ocean world.
Dive on wrecks, both ancient and contemporary, explore the myriad strange denizens of the
Stygian deep or laugh in wonder at the antics of the brilliant fish that inhabit
the tropical coral reef. A magic ocean world awaits you.
Triton’s styling is on par with that of a fine Italian sports car. Form follows function, indeed.
Beauty that is more than skin deep…
Experience the competition… then buy a Triton
Triton Submarines has collected the finest, most experienced talent in the civil subma-rine business. Each member of the full time management and staff at the company av-erages 26.7 years of dedicated civil subma-rine and submersible experience. Including part time staff the group collectively repre-sents more than 331 years of experience. No competitor even remotely approaches this level of expertise.The Triton’s incred-ible 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, we’ve been there. We’ve spent thousands of hours piloting more than 80 different civil submarines and submersibles. In addition, our Engi-neering Manager was in charge of design review at the American Bureau of Shipping for over 25 different submersibles.

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.
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.

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
ABS standards.
The most advanced personal submersible in the world today
MINIMUM WEIGHT, VOLUME & FOOTPRINT Deck space is at a premium aboard a yacht and the
Triton’s compact design is only 10 feet LOA, less than half of most competitor’s 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 experi-
ence the incredible diversity of the ocean world and to do that you have to be able to see out of the sub effectively. The Triton’s totally transparent passenger compartment provides unsurpassed viewing for the occupants.
SUPERIOR SURFACE STABILITY & FREEBOARD The catamaran configuration of the Triton results in un-
equalled surface stability making it easy for the occu-pants to get in and out of the sub while it is in the wa-ter. The top mounted entrance hatch provides more freeboard (distance from waterline to the hatch) than any other small submersible. The combination of su-face stability and freeboard represent the single most important safety factor in submersible operations.
SIMPLE LAUNCH & RECOVERY REQUIREMENTS 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 ten-der, 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 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 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.
Base prices for the Triton series not including optional equipment:
Triton 1000/2: $1.7 million
Triton 1000/3: $2.49 million
Triton 3300/2: $2.59 million
Triton 3300/3: $2.99 million
THREE AXIS JOYSTICK CONTROLS Digital proportional joystick control coupled to thrusters that move
the sub in all three axes provides for unsurpassed intuitive maneu-
verability.
INDUSTRY’S MOST ADVANCED TRAINING & SUPPORT Triton is the only sub company that has invested in a deep sub-
mersible pilot simulator for customer familiarization and pilot train-
ing. 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. Cus-
tomer 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,
Triton’s president, is the most experienced civil sub pilot ac-
tive 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 world’s
best submersibles.
