Perry 1201 for Charter
Perry 3 person submersible is available for charter for long and short terms projects - TV production, research, custom submarine dive tours. NEW >> 5 person Perry submersible for charter > call for details.
The PC-1201 series of submarines built by Perry Submarine Builders is unquestionably
the most successful class of submersible constructed to date. The Perry PC-12
class submersibles are the most prolific deep diving boats in the world. They have completed
more dives than any class of submersible in existence and enjoy an unblemished safety record.
This ABS classed, dive-ready manned submarine is available for sale, lease or long term charter.
PC1201 comes complete with a 20-foot workshop/spares container equipped with everything
necessary to support operations either from a vessel or in a remote location.
We have now completed a ground-up reconstruction of PC-1201 which is now available in “as new”
condition. We can add a wide array of optional equipment, from five function manipulators
to high resolution color imaging sonar.
PC1201 submarine is classed and certified by ABS to a maximum depth of 1,000 feet. This highly maneuverable
craft is powered entirely by batteries housed in external pods. The submarine accommodates
two passengers and a pilot and uses a main propulsion motor and four thrusters for
excellent maneuvering capability. It is equipped with powerful LED underwater lights to enhance
viewing in deep/dark water or to bring out the natural colors not seen with ambient light at
depth. Call or email for submarine charter rates.
