News: Wider Yachts Project 'Cecilia'; First Wider 165

Wider 165 Project 'Cecilia' Build
​

Just last week Wider Yachts launched the first Wider 150 with name "Genesi" (Italian for Genesis) to the fanfare of the media. She is the largest yacht built and launched to-date for the Italian yard. However, it won't be keeping that title for too long as there is an even larger yacht under construction by this yard. Meet the Wider 165 Project 'Cecilia'. Recently, the yacht was seen being transported on the highways on its way to the Wider finishing shed. Hopefully, Project Cecilia is finished to time and launches towards the end of 2016.

Wider Yachts founder and CEO, Tilli Antonelli, said, “This is an especially exciting time for us. Last week we launched our first superyacht, this week we look to the next one. With the aluminium hull and superstructure all but complete the first job is to attach the upper deck structure to the hull. This could not be done in the other facility because of height restrictions. Thereafter, we will be pushing ahead with all of the various trades to ensure that we are on time for delivery to the owner in 12 months’ time.” The first Wider 165 will have some pretty cool highlights onboard inclusive of a touch-and-go helipad, a fair size beach club area and an interior seawater swimming pool. Let's not forget her diesel-electric propulsion package either. Project Cecilia will usher in a new dawn for Wider as they seek to build larger yachts.
