The Ocean Rafale, an innovative glass-bottom tourist semi-submarine built in India, introduces a new dimension to maritime exploration and leisure. This 50-passenger vessel is designed as a trimaran, providing enhanced stability and safety for its occupants. Certified by the Indian Register of Shipping (IRClass), the Ocean Rafale adheres to international ship classification standards, with its design also aligning with the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) rules. This certification ensures that the vessel meets global safety and operational benchmarks, making it an exemplary model of modern maritime engineering.

Spanning 16.55 meters in length (excluding outboards), with a beam of 5.80 meters and a depth of 2.70 meters to the main deck, the Ocean Rafale boasts ample space for guests to comfortably enjoy their voyage. Its dual-compartment design allows 25 passengers to experience the aquatic world below through its glass-bottom lower compartment, while another 25 can relish the scenic beauty above water from the upper deck. This innovative setup ensures all passengers can enjoy both aspects of the sea’s beauty during their trip, with a midway changeover to maximize the experience.

The semi-submarine’s operational capabilities are equally impressive, featuring two Suzuki outboard engines, each with 140 hp, enabling the vessel to reach a maximum speed of 10 knots. Comfort is paramount, as evidenced by the fully air-conditioned lower compartment, cushioned seating for all passengers, and various safety features including life jackets and emergency exits, ensuring a pleasant and secure journey.

With a displacement of 35 tonnes at summer deck line (SDL) and equipped with substantial fuel, fresh water, and sullage capacities, the Ocean Rafale is designed for extended excursions, allowing for multiple trips per day, including evening adventures. Its machinery and performance specifications are meticulously chosen to ensure reliability and efficiency, further enhancing the vessel’s appeal for a range of activities from dinner cruises to marine research and educational tours.

Customization options, such as hull decoration, allow for personalization, making the Ocean Rafale a versatile choice for operators aiming to offer unique maritime experiences. Whether for hotel and resort guests, super-yacht charters, or commercial surveying, the Ocean Rafale semi-submarine stands as a testament to innovative marine design and the enchantment of underwater exploration.
