You can play at being Tintin in his shark boat; for a price.

And the price is between $350,000 to $1.3 million according to this CNN piece. Of course, you can always go for the cheaper half day ride-a-long course that only $5,500.

The sub is modelled after Professor Calculus’ marvellous invention that appeared in The Adventures of Tintin: Red Rackham’s Treasure, by Herge (1943). Tintin & Captain Haddock used it to look for a sunken ship amongst marauding sharks. I imagine if you stump up the $1.3 million you can use it for whatever you damn well please.

Looks wonderful though. (via)
