Two New Wider Models Announced
Wider Yachts recently announced two new models at the 2019 Monaco Yacht Show (MYS), the Wider 180 and the smaller 41-meter Wider 135. The larger Wider 180 which will become the yard's flagship when completed in 2022 is designed by Andrea Vallicelli and C Yacht Design. Comparing this model to the other two (bigger motoryachts) this yard has in service, there is a slight departure in styling. Wider Yachts pride themselves on having a yacht that could transform itself by extending its deck space outward with fold-out terraces and balconies and expansive beach clubs/tender garages. The larger they build, the less impactful this design philosophy will become and we think this is starting to happen. Wider Yachts expect to start steel cutting for the hull at the start of 2020. True to expectations, there is a large beach club onboard which hosts a tender up to 10-meters...

One of the largest superyacht's actually attending this year's show is not necessarily a brand new vessel but it is one that came to the market very recently and created alot of stir simply because her interior was a closely guarded secret.

Sunseeker Introduces 65 Sport Yacht 'Sky Helm'
As part of a new influx of models from UK builder Sunseeker the 65 Sport Yacht 'Sky Helm' is being revealed to the industry. Sunseeker has built in this size bracket many times before with a number of different models.
