Virgin Group founder Sir Richard Branson is known for his many exploits in the travel and tourism industry. From space tourism to new ventures in the railway sector, the British entrepreneur has a deep-set passion for high-end adventurous vehicles.

It was in 1984 that he founded the Virgin Atlantic Airways. This was followed by the establishment of Virgin Blue in Australia in 2000 and Virgin Galactic in 2004.

One of the entrepreneur's biggest ventures is his luxury portfolio of Virgin Limited Editions. This includes the magnificent 32-meter catamaran Necker Belle and the exciting three-person aero-submarine called Necker Nymph. The aero-submarine can dive down to a depth of 30 meters traveling at speeds of up to 6 knots underwater.
