WIDER 150 PROJECT GENESI LAUNCHED IN ANCONA

After 2 years of planning and tens of thousands of man hours in construction, the WIDER 150 Superyacht has been successfully launched at the WIDER Super Yacht Division headquarters in Ancona, Italy. This significant milestone in the company’s history was scheduled to take place only after every other yard-based operation had been successfully completed under the cover of the state of the art shipyard. Now with a gleaming white painted hull and superstructure, and intricately refined cabinetry fitted, the yacht that generated so much attention during her construction has been introduced to the ocean for the first time.

“The extra time in the main shed allowed us to push ahead with the interior… it is now 90% complete. I have launched dozens of yachts in my career but have never done so with this level of completion to the interior outfitting… this will save us time in the final commissioning” says Juan Balaguer, Wider COO.

WIDER have been working in very close collaboration with all of their technical suppliers, and industrial giant Emerson Automation concluded eight weeks of tests on the diesel electric system prior to the launch. Their specialist technicians will return for the sea trials working alongside VETH Propulsion, suppliers of the propeller pods, Visedo, suppliers of the electric motors, and EST Technologies, suppliers of the lithium polymer battery banks that lie at the heart of the vessel’s efficient power system.

“It is enormously satisfying to see “Genesi” in the water for the first time” says Tilli Antonelli, Wider Founder and CEO. “But now we have the important task of checking that everything is working to the same high standards that we have set ourselves in every other aspect of the construction process. We believe that this can be done in 8-10 weeks but will not rush anything if it means compromising on the quality of the finished yacht…We will make sure that she is 110% finished before unveiling her in full to the market.”

Once every test has been concluded and the yacht has reached the technical and operational excellence that is expected from her, she will be presented to the public in a series of events that will be announced in the near future.

The Wider 150 – Project “Genesi” – is available for sale, priced at €26,000,000.
