Project: Wider-Yachts 150-footer

Wider-Yachts present 150' project​

Wider-Yachts have come to the 2011 edition of the Monaco Yacht Show (MYS) with new design. After the buzz created by their transformational project, the Wider-Yachts 42-footer, a new and much larger project was envisioned.

The Wider-Yachts 150-footer is one of the latest steps forward for the company and it involves a 150-megayacht that looks little like the 42-foot yacht that brought so much attention to them. However, the company is keeping the concept of a 'wider' yacht in place with the 150-footer.

It is immediately apparent the ingenuity of the new project. On first glance the new design looks like the contemporary 150-foot megayacht. The aft end of the yacht seems to be the expanding area showing folding shell doors, opening transom, extending bathing platform all to create more room when needed. The wider concept is clear in operation in this proposal.

The aft end when fully deployed is like an external beach club that can be outfitted with furniture for seaside relaxation. The yacht's main tender is stored on the inside of the transom and can easily be removed to create space. Sun beds and loungers are strategically placed on the aft and sun deck to take advantage of the open space.

Extending the wider concept more involves the use of hybrid technology for propulsion and running the yacht. The diesel-electric propulsion system will help reduce the consumption rates of the vessel thereby making it alot greener than the average fully diesel-run 150-foot yacht. The vessel can be sailed purely on electric power supplied by batteries for a period of time or boosted by diesel, both or just diesel, the flexibility is amazing.
