Wider 150 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose a yacht on its characteristics (incidentally the Wider 150 has won a staggering 7 awards, most recently for "Wings & Water - Custom MegaYachts"). Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the displacement hull of the Wider 150 delivers speeds of up to 14 knots.

Accommodation

If accommodating guests overnight is your main concern, then the Wider Yachts Wider 150 which offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 11 guests with its 5 cabin layout option does not match its rivals. Many of its competitors including the Benetti 50M Oasis and Tankoa Yachts T450 offer slightly more guest accommodation sleeping up to 12 guests in 6 cabins, making them better choices for those seeking to maximise the number of family and friends they can sleep onboard. However, for maximum comfort for the owner, the Wider 150 features a full-beam master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and a study and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. Equivalently, the Riva 50Metri and Heesen 50m also offer 5 cabins, but with facilities for 10 guests, however they still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group vacations.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Wider Yachts Wider 150 delivers a steady 13 knots and can't keep up with its faster competitors such as the Sunseeker 50M Ocean with an impressive cruising speed of 19 knots or the Tankoa Yachts S501 with a respectable cruising speed of 14 knots. The Wider Yachts Wider 150 emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed, catering to a different set of priorities. On the other hand, for those not in a hurry the Wider Yachts W165, with the slowest cruising speed of 11 knots, emphasizes stability and comfort over outright speed and enjoying the journey over the destination.

Unique Characteristics

Each yacht also brings unique features to the forefront. The Wider Yachts W165 impresses with its extensive range of 5,000 nautical miles, ideal for long voyages. The shallow draft of the Wider Yachts WiderCat 92 allows it to navigate waters inaccessible to deeper vessels. The performance of the Sunseeker 50M Ocean is especially impressive, with a top speed of 20 knots and cruising speed of 19 knots. The Sunseeker 50M Ocean has an impressive gross tonnage of 500GT, the largest of the competitors here.

Summary

Despite stiff competition, the Wider 150 stands out with notable features and design elements. These yachts cater to a wide range of preferences and needs, making the choice a matter of personal taste and specific requirements in the world of luxury yachting.
