ON BOARD

Wider has put in a formal offer to buy the

ISA Yachts shipyard and brand, to expand

production in line with its ambitions.

Italian builder Wider, best known for stylish

day cruisers, launched its first superyacht,

46 metre diesel-electric Genesi, in October

last year. The 50 metre Wider 165 (above)

is in-build, with delivery due this year. Italian

builder ISA, in contrast, has launched more

than 30 superyachts since it was founded

in 2001, including 66.4 metre Okto, but fell into

difficulty last year through a lack of orders.

ISA’s four sheds would allow several yachts

up to 80 metres to be built at the same time.

Wider hopes to combine this facility with its

team, with the backing of Malaysian Lim Kok

Thay’s Genting Group. “This facility would

expand our production to meet all future

demands,” says Tilli Antonelli (above), founder

and CEO of Wider, “both for diesel-electric

yachts under the Wider brand or using the ISA

name for more traditional yachts.” At time of

press we learned that the Palumbo Group had

also put in an offer for ISA. wider-yachts.com

yacht, which sleeps 12 guests, boasts a particularly

spectacular sundeck with a spa pool and bar, as

well as plenty of alfresco dining throughout the

week. camperandnicholsons.com
