Only $1.7 billion gets you into one.

They say in the comments they'll even build you your own private floating island of any size to compliment it.

I wonder how much extra an experienced submarine captain and crew to operate it will cost per year?  Running on top of the water is one skill set, running beneath the water is an entirely different skill set.

I found it funny they claim it will be the future of yachting, as if lots of people will be able to afford 1.7 billion dollar yachts of any kind.
