Delivered: 10th Wider Yacht 42' shipped by Antonov An124

Wider Yachts complete 10th 42-footer and ships it by Antonov An124​

Wider announces the launch of its 10th 42 footer and organizes a special delivery by air to the final customer. Italian nautical company Wider, founded on a project designed by Tilli Antonellli, celebrates the launch of its 10th 42 footer which literally ….takes off! Indeed, the shipyard arranged for her to be transported by air, an extraordinary event on the luxury nautical scene, considering motoryachts are normally transported by land or sea.

The exceptional transportation occurred last week aboard an Antonov An-124, a four-engined freight plane of Volga-Dnepr Airlines and one of the largest cargo aircraft in the world, which landed in Falconara-Ancona specially to pick up Wider 42’ and transport her to her destination, in the Near East. The loading operations of the Wider 42’ took about two hours and involved part of the Wider team together with the owner’s assistants and the airport personnel working during the night.

“We worked flat out to respect the delivery date, dealing with each and every aspect of the project, not least the extraordinary way in which the yacht was delivered,” declared Tilli Antonelli, founder of Wider. “It was the first time in many years’ experience in the pleasure boating sector that I’ve watched a plane take off with one of my creations aboard. An enormous satisfaction for both myself and my whole team, whose commitment has made it possible for us to achieve such important results just over a year after the first yacht in the range was launched.”
