Austria's Migaloo is offering to build a private "submersible superyacht" for the ultrarich.
It says the M5 would be able to travel 820 feet underwater and stay submerged for a month.
Despite the high up-front cost, CEO Christian Gumpold says the firm is in talks with buyers.

Forget megayachts. Forget billionaire basements. If you're unfathomably rich and want a new toy, there's an Austrian company that says it will build you a fully submersible yacht.

And this is no rickety Titan submersible.
