David, you and AQUAHOLIC need to do a Super Yacht walk-through together... You from a Yacht buyers prospective and Aquaholic as the color commentator... now that would be one hell of a Yacht video... As always ..great video and thanks for letting us into your Yachting world... tu amigo Javier from Houston, Texas, USA
Great, I've been waiting for news on Wider, I was aware they had been bought out, great to see new designs. Another great informative video David. Keep us updated.
@@Yachtsforsaleblog Can't wait, I couldn't understand why Cecilia never sold, such an innovative yacht, still, with the new ownership, we may see these magnificent vessels in the flesh, via your channel.
@@khufu8699 I think only 1 150, not sure, I would think that's why the company was bought out, hopefully with new money greater success. The new yachts, I notice, are faster and with more range.
@@steveSmith-pd4st Wow. That is surprise. A lot to love about the direction they are taking. Electric will certainly grow much bigger in this space. Maybe buyers too fearful it was too big of a jump. Or maybe something wrong here we are not seeing or hearing about. I hope they make it as I like their direction.
I love Wider and it makes me work harder on my software company because I want one yesterday! I'm surprised the 180 doesn't have a helipad but it's not an excessive drawback. Some of us want to use this as a mobile weekend getaway and holiday home so embarking from port will be natural. Thank you for your awesome videos.🙋🏿♂️
YES! Finally Wider content. This is my all time favorite yacht. Can't wait for your walkthrough of the 180 and some onsite on things to come from Wider. Thank you again.
At first i thought this was the old update .Your team is always on top . Forgive me . Everything has improved about wider . You sir really bring out all the first class work . Your the closer man for all the deals .
Been waiting for this a long time. Has been worth the wait. The deseign of the 180 and 135 are not only superb but these yachts fit the niceh that was missing before. They will sell very well. Now only to win the lottery. Great report. Thankyou.
I think diesel powered turbine generators will be the future in these hybrid-electric yachts. Almost just as efficient (more efficient than piston generators if you use the excess heat!), much cleaner, much less maintenance, smaller, lighter and quieter. They are already in use in heavy trucks, but have only recently become certificed to be used on yachts.
Thank you David! I've been quite vocal about Wider and wondering what is going on and why you haven't shot this video yet. Now it makes sense. Such a great brand with beautiful design and really thought out technology and such thought into the multipurpose use of areas really speaks to my German engineering side :) I really hope the change is for the better going forward. If only to be blessed to be aboard one. Can't wait to see your walkthrough video!
Having just returned from the Caribbean, there certainly are many incredibly interesting yachts down there (from a Canadian). Thanks for your passionately edited videos. Merry Christmas to all your family, friends and fans.
I must say I'll be looking for more from Wider in the future. I loved the 165 and am looking forward to a walkthrough of the 180 and more!!! Have a great Christmas, Happy New Year and new decade ahead! Cheers David!
Wider is underrated .... same as Ocean Alexander ... David can you have a look at the Ocean Alexander 90R? The design is somewhat bulky in the front yet very expansive in foot print ....would appreciate this.
I really like the WIDER yachts. I think they are going to knock a bunch of other makers off their posts and make others design better yachts as well. Good show and keep these videos up.
very sorry to hear about the troubles at wider i did like the past owners very much he seemed to be a great person to work with and for i do like the design of the wider 150 and 165 i hope wider can make it out of the current siituation and the future is bright for them
Keep in mind that he original owners sold to a Chinese owner/company, and this marks the third change in hands. I hate to sound racist but they are not known for their quality, there are a few Chinese yacht building companies, and their out of country buyers tend to sell them in a year or so of purchase.
Thank you very much , was wondering what happened to WIDER... it’s good to see that they are overcoming turbulent waters both with in the ownership and the engineering... keep up the good work
Yet another great video David. The Wider 135 is the perfect vessel that one day I hopefully can afford. :) Merry Christmas to you, your family and your team.
This company is the most exciting yacht company in the world at the moment with its innovation, magnificent range and ability to be so cost-effective, I'm so looking forward to seeing you tour of the Wider 180.
The Wider yachts were absolutely one of the most original yachts I'd ever seen, BUT the managements and ownership changed? What?! How does that work? Do a clip on that if you like: what happens when a yacht maker changes of ownership when you are in the process of waiting for your yacht of them?
I think no one was waiting for their new Wider yacht, so in this case no problem. But it's a situation that occurs regularly. Must worry a buyer I think....
Great designs and like the hybrid power system. One critique is that for 180 feet of length, you only get 4 guest cabins? For that length I believe there should be a minimum of 6 guest cabins.
Amazing vessel. Love the idea of electric motors. Just need hydroponic wall gardens for sustain able independence. Create a smaller footprint on the planet. I would love to live onboard forever. What a magical dream to come true. My aged mother with dementia would spend her days fishing!!!! :-)
Ever since I stumbled upon your channel during one of my all-consuming daydreaming days and saw the Wider 150, the Wider brand has been my "if I was rich, I would.."-pick. The 165 again blew my mind. But as I look at the 180...? It seems odd. It doesn't quite crush my world and leave me like dust in the wind, like the 150 and 165 did. But the 135, though! That literally SCREAMS Wider! I love it! I want it!
Nice video David, I find the information and 'sales pitch' you give for your videos is very informative, thank you. However, I like to mix this with a little critique from other channels, which gives me an accurate 'vision' of the yacht in question. For this specific yacht, I'm impressed with the Eco friendliness of the electric/battery operation and the range of the vessel.
Your nice presence and presentation some what arouse interest for Wider and their story, innovation and great design, hope you keep up your great job:-) Merry Christmas
It would be cool to videos of a similar format in the future, but directed towards the naval architects and designers who create these yachts. I want to learn more about the process designers take when designing a yacht from basic sketching to 3D rendering. It would be cool to see what programs they use to 3D model and create renderings like the ones of the pool in the video!
Those Wider yachts are beautiful and I love how you're able to drive your tender up in the aft of the boat and be stored in the garage. These boats are nicer than most I've seen plus having silent running is a huge plus for me. But if I had one, I'd modify it to run on my electric motor design where it can run full time on free energy power that is safe an fuel free. I get so mad because we have been lied to about electric power an them saying you can not get free power when Yes We Can and I Have Built IT Over 14 years ago. My electric bill dropped overnight and the power company I had back then came to my house to find out what I did to no longer have those high power bills I once had since I moved in. I showed them what changes I made an my new design. Three electrical engineers that come out to my home and they tested it, I told them how I built it, they tested it again and all three said, we see it running an it is making 240 volts ac but we by all we know still even after seeing it running with our own eyes have to say it should not be able to do this because you destroyed everything we were taught in college because you destroyed the basic laws of physics by making something from nothing. They took video of my design with it stopped, I turned it on and got it to full power in seconds and they were looking at as children's eyes look at the presents under a Christmas tree on Christmas morning with excitement at what they are seeing, or when new parents see their baby for the first time. I will say this, I did not invent this design by no means because we have had this design for over 100 plus years. An It is time we start using it now and no longer be forced to use fuels that we don't need to buy at the high cost of the price oil companies are forcing us to pay. Including in our own vehicles, I'm planning on getting a EV to install my motor and remove the batteries because they are not needed. It's time we start thinking for ourselves and no longer allow them or anyone to treat us like their children or they will take away all our toys if we say no we are thinking for ourselves now. Soon I'll be posting this design for everyone else to see an make their own power plant in their own homes and in their boats. They can install electric drive motors an use my design to power it. Free Power Free Our People.
My understanding of what was going wrong with Wider was the creators of these yachts didn't know what they were doing. From the "saltwater pool" that no one ever said they would like to have on a yacht to putting the weight of all those diesel generators in the bow of the boat, which is a bad thing. People like to think they are creative geniuses, but there is a reason certain things are done a certain way and it's not because everyone else is an idiot.
yeah, once i buy this one, i'm opting out on the hot tub/pool, never understood why anyone would want a pool on a boat surrounded by water you can just dive in, that's wasted space in my opinion that you could use for dining and leisure, who wants to walk around a noisy hot tub on a balcony floor?
I'm real curious how they route the exhaust out there front of everything. Underwater exhaust exits that far forward will cavitate/fart severely anytime they hit a wave. Out the side and everyone is breathing the fumes standing on the sides of the boat. Running the exhaust through the hull aftwards gotta spread the noise.
@@sloth6765 not really, these are heavy boats, these things are designed to remain completely flat no matter the high tide for indoor comfort, it's why they move slow, these aren't speedboats, they're marine studio apartments
@@williamdrijver4141 not really, it depends which ones you get, the ones i've used, uses bowie tech that keeps it level no matter the tidal waves, that's what i was trying to explain
From all that talk I expect them to be working on integrating solar panels into the mix. Solar can run the systems during the day and reduce noise/fuel consumption. At anchor it might be possible to run everything on solar. Places for solar, over the bridge, on the fore deck cover and on the garage door.
Hello David, I absolutely love your channel & learning about yachts, their designs, machinery etc., I have been following this channel for a long time now . A few question for you, if you could answer them would be highly appreciated. 1) Why don't you disclose the prices of yachts in your channel. Those of us who have an interest would love to know it. Specially the new ones off the yard or even the ones that come up for sale. 2) How come you don't do any full walk through videos like some of the others. (Nick & Alex for eg.) would really like to know. I completely missed the LIVE with you on Tristan's channel...so here goes. Thanks in advance.
Not sure if i regret watching your videos since like last year but yes, a reason why im working on my business so hard is to buy a Wider yacht one day, now the problem is that i want to buy a Wider yacht one day. These things are so expensive, i barely know anybody bu employees, i have a mother, a sister, both have their own “families” but I wouldn’t invite them they don’t deserve it and most of them saw me like im nothing. Im very materialistic and love to own things and have a reason to own everything i have but an expense like a yacht makes almost no sense but i cannot see myself without one. 😫🔫 first world problems.
Wider makes interesting yachts, but for some reason they are slow sellers. Perhaps potential buyers hesitate because of the complexity of a Wider, or the unproven technology, or the inexperienced yard?
Богдан Кондратов To me they just look like long shoes, but I'm sure plenty of people disagree. My favorite yacht is Andromada and I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like how she looks. I'm just glad that there's some variety even when they aren't something I personally like. So many yachts look the same. For instance, I don't like red hulls, but if I see one, I think, it's nice to see something other than white for a change even if it's not what I personally like.
Being a Merchant Chief Engineer, if I were wealthy enough to build a yacht this big, I would certainly want to meet MCA requirements for crew. Maybe they could hire proper STCW crew then, because I wouldn't work on most yachts.
The Wider 135 or 150 looks like one of the best buys. You get near super yacht size but can still dock in a majority of Marina's. Those 250' and above yachts can only look in envy at other boats docking up to shore. Unless your middle Eastern royalty or a Russian oligarch who don't want to mix with non billionaires, it would seem a bit lonely parking offshore and motoring into most harbors.
I love it with 4 jet engine and a small boat with convertible glass top with drone engine and a submarine with drone engine. Electric drone jet engine is recommendable with electric engine small boat and submarine. Just like Tesla Seastar,electric engine have pretty low manufacture cost. Whatever with electric engine is very competitive with other engine. I think electric engine should have highest demand for the low maintenance cost with much much higher performance. There is no doubt. As you know 200,000 dollar Tesla Seatar take 1.9 second from 0 to 60mph. But 2,5 million dollar Bugatti Chiron take 2.5 second from 0 to 60 mph. I think the small boat and the small submarine with my option could make semi supersonic speed in the air.
Unequivocally One if not ,Thee ☝️ One , Best Electrically Powered with Future innovations I’ve seen , Silently Planning The Life Changeover Of Greater Propulsion, Metals of Credential ... I have Then Too , The Tools !!! Who WHAaaattt.
the Al-Maktoum family bought a large cruise ship and turned in to a luxury yacht can you please explain that plus dose that mean the cruise ship are easy to buy for filthy rich people
This is something I have never understood. When I look at the cost of a cruise liner (a "small" one) and I look at the average price of a "Superyacht", the yachts look like a total rip-off. A cruise liner many times the size of a yacht is cheaper. And longer range and often even faster than the yacht. I know what some people would say "Yeah but the luxury fittings of the yacht makes them incredibly expensive". So what you do is take the huge relative cost savings of the small liner, and spend a couple of million fitting it out. It wil still be much cheaper and incomparably better value for money.
@@karlp8484 I think all ships are bargains per GT compared to superyachts. Except naval vessels. But small cruise ships might be difficult to dock in a marina? And burn more fuel, need more crew etc
@@williamdrijver4141 There are expedition cruisers which carry only about 100 passengers. So you could easily cut that down to say 20 guests each with massive quarters. Space is the biggest luxury of all, remember. It was these vessels that made me realise just how damn bad value a yacht is. Their whole raison d'etre is to get into tight shallow spots, but yeah physical size is always going to be an issue. Actually, any "small" commercial vessel can be converted into a yacht, it doesn't have to be a liner.
@@karlp8484 Same as with a house and large garden, space = freedom imo. There must be reasons why superyacht owners are willing to overpay, or get bad value for money. Status, prestige, buying a boat from a brand name, or just wanting every inch to be perfectly executed and of the most expensive materials. Mostly non rational arguments I think. (Or they want their yacht to appear in certain magazines / media?)
@@LeoBlight You would think so. Look at the cladding and paneling especially in the passages. I think the first Wider was also done on spec and not for an individual custom order and it seems to reflect a low budget fit out to save money as now seems to be the case. Any new owner could do a refit.
David, you and

YES! Finally Wider content.
This is my all time favorite yacht. Can't wait for your walkthrough of the 180 and some onsite on things to come from Wider.
Thank you again.
Great things happening at Wider. The new hybrid propulsion systems are just what new yacht buyers are yearning for.
I am always excited to hear what Wider is doing. I hope for them the greatest success!

Wider is awesome. I like what they are doing with their propulsion system.
Wider is underrated .... same as Ocean Alexander ... David can you have a look at the Ocean Alexander 90R? The design is somewhat bulky in the front yet very expansive in foot print ....would appreciate this.
Love their 90R.
I really like the WIDER yachts. I think they are going to knock a bunch of other makers off their posts and make others design better yachts as well. Good show and keep these videos up.
So far few buyers.....interesting yachts though, but they have built 2 ships since 2015, with only 1 sold
I have just discovered Wider yachts and they are exactly the style I want to have! What amazing vessels they create!
very sorry to hear about the troubles at wider i did like the past owners very much he seemed to be a great person to work with and for i do like the design of the wider 150 and 165 i hope wider can make it out of the current siituation and the future is bright for them
Keep in mind that he original owners sold to a Chinese owner/company, and this marks the third change in hands. I hate to sound racist but they are not known for their quality, there are a few Chinese yacht building companies, and their out of country buyers tend to sell them in a year or so of purchase.

@@williamdrijver4141 I bet the shipyard and a buyer add a clause in their contract for stuff like this.
One thing that I’m curious about with the Wider 180 is, how come it doesn’t have a helipad, even though the smaller 165 does?
I always thought the helipad was a brilliant feature and a real tick box for the yacht; I am surprised they decided to shelve it.
Henry Garner that a good question!
Maybe the owner hates helicopters.

To dream such a dream. Wonderful eco friendly corporate direction
If only I had an extra 100 million sitting around. Where's Santa? Santa!!
hoo hoo hoo.. i can't even afford this yacht
Wider 165 from 2018 costs 30 million euros at Northop & Johnson, or if you buy it through Arcon yachts, it will cost you 25.9 million euros.....
Haha! Too funny

That is technology at its very best very impressive range on both yachts, another brilliant video loved watching it.
that's just the right size and style for me, i'm buying this one in a year or 2 once i relocate my studio and staff

Wider should build a 79 foot version of this, that can be owner operated. Hybrid boats are rare, and a smaller version would have wider appeal.

William Drijver I think they look ugly. Looks are subjective, but maybe I'm not the only person who thinks that.
@@Primalxbeast Perhaps a hull in dark blue might help (Haven't seen one irl, just guessing :-)
Богдан Кондратов To me they just look like long shoes, but I'm sure plenty of people disagree. My favorite yacht is Andromada and I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like how she looks. I'm just glad that there's some variety even when they aren't something I personally like. So many yachts look the same. For instance, I don't like red hulls, but if I see one, I think, it's nice to see something other than white for a change even if it's not what I personally like.
Being a Merchant Chief Engineer, if I were wealthy enough to build a yacht this big, I would certainly want to meet MCA requirements for crew. Maybe they could hire proper STCW crew then, because I wouldn't work on most yachts.
Nice boats. But could I have one a little bit wider please? :)
Why did the bigger 165 get a heli touch and go, but not the coming 180? Even bigger but less?
I really like your videos. Do you think you will be making a video on the REVocean?
They could also change over to use thorium reactors. One company is now making cars with them and they'll run for one hundred years.
Brilliant!!
I was wondering, is Wider planning on going larger or will the 180’ be the largest yacht they produce and what’s the price for the 180?
That Wider 135 ...oooooh my :-)
thank you
Enough already, I am sold and need one.
More WIDER plz!
The Wider 135 or 150 looks like one of the best buys. You get near super yacht size but can still dock in a majority of Marina's. Those 250' and above yachts can only look in envy at other boats docking up to shore. Unless your middle Eastern royalty or a Russian oligarch who don't want to mix with non billionaires, it would seem a bit lonely parking offshore and motoring into most harbors.
Hey sis (ISay) UNEQUIVOCALLY a WATTTtttt , Right on Time .
I love it with 4 jet engine and a small boat with convertible glass top with drone engine and a submarine with drone engine. Electric drone jet engine is recommendable with electric engine small boat and submarine. Just like Tesla Seastar,electric engine have pretty low manufacture cost. Whatever with electric engine is very competitive with other engine. I think electric engine should have highest demand for the low maintenance cost with much much higher performance. There is no doubt. As you know 200,000 dollar Tesla Seatar take 1.9 second from 0 to 60mph. But 2,5 million dollar Bugatti Chiron take 2.5 second from 0 to 60 mph. I think the small boat and the small submarine with my option could make semi supersonic speed in the air.
I actually love wider
Do they have solar panels to charge the batteries ?
Going to have to start calling these “Hyper Yachets”.Looks like Wider took a page from what Porsche did with the 918 spyder.
The Previous Owner was also the past innovator at Pershing ???? Wonder what happened....
What price range is the wider 180 in?
WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THIS YACHT THE LINK HAS A COMERCIAL SHIRTS???????
Unequivocally One if not ,Thee ☝️ One , Best Electrically Powered with Future innovations I’ve seen , Silently Planning The Life Changeover Of Greater Propulsion, Metals of Credential ... I have Then Too , The Tools !!! Who WHAaaattt.
More Wider!!!!
I'd like to have it all with my option!
MEGAMillions and Powerball just need to hit them one time.
the Al-Maktoum family bought a large cruise ship and turned in to a luxury yacht can you please explain that plus dose that mean the cruise ship are easy to buy for filthy rich people
This is something I have never understood. When I look at the cost of a cruise liner (a "small" one) and I look at the average price of a "Superyacht", the yachts look like a total rip-off. A cruise liner many times the size of a yacht is cheaper. And longer range and often even faster than the yacht. I know what some people would say "Yeah but the luxury fittings of the yacht makes them incredibly expensive". So what you do is take the huge relative cost savings of the small liner, and spend a couple of million fitting it out. It wil still be much cheaper and incomparably better value for money.
@@karlp8484 I think all ships are bargains per GT compared to superyachts. Except naval vessels. But small cruise ships might be difficult to dock in a marina? And burn more fuel, need more crew etc
@@williamdrijver4141 There are expedition cruisers which carry only about 100 passengers. So you could easily cut that down to say 20 guests each with massive quarters. Space is the biggest luxury of all, remember. It was these vessels that made me realise just how damn bad value a yacht is. Their whole raison d'etre is to get into tight shallow spots, but yeah physical size is always going to be an issue. Actually, any "small" commercial vessel can be converted into a yacht, it doesn't have to be a liner.
Can you please give the name of that former cruise ship? Did they buy it for themselves, or for their entourage / guests?
@@karlp8484 Same as with a house and large garden, space = freedom imo. There must be reasons why superyacht owners are willing to overpay, or get bad value for money. Status, prestige, buying a boat from a brand name, or just wanting every inch to be perfectly executed and of the most expensive materials. Mostly non rational arguments I think. (Or they want their yacht to appear in certain magazines / media?)
No helipad on the 180? :(
sweet
Cool
Maybe it should be wider
I loveWider, but I must admit I found the interior decorating very sterile and a lack of that luxury feel for such an innovative yacht.
John Smith well I’d think 🤔 spending that kind of money you would be able to change the interior to your liking!
@@LeoBlight You would think so. Look at the cladding and paneling especially in the passages. I think the first Wider was also done on spec and not for an individual custom order and it seems to reflect a low budget fit out to save money as now seems to be the case.
Any new owner could do a refit.
I'm disappointed in the design of the bow. No more dance floor/heli pad, even on this longer model.
I think Wider Yacht with Jet Engine and Water Ski is most identical.
But what does it cost?
what’s the price must be nice 👍
