Wider 150 Review (2016 Edition) by Aquaholic

On Deck

The tour begins with the yacht's garage/beach club, which is found to be remarkable for its size, being capable of housing a 32-foot tender. Moving aboard via the passerelle, the spacious cockpit awaits with its generous outdoor seating and shade-providing overhang.

The upper cockpit has plenty of shaded seating and dining, thanks to its overhang.  Stairs from here lead up to the sun deck with its vast space, contemporary flooring, barbecue, and hot tub offering stunning views.

Forward from here is the bow which includes an outdoor cinema space and two relaxing seating areas.

Entering the yacht, the automatic door reveals an interior with a contemporary layout. The social space inside is expansive and inviting, featuring seating and a bar area.

The owner's cabin features a voluminous walk-in wardrobe and a retractable marble wall that transforms into a private balcony, a highlight of the yacht's ingenuity. The owner's en suite bathroom is stunning with its size and the standout feature being a bath carved from a single piece of wood.

Descending to the lower deck, Nick appreciates the light, contemporary finishes and shows viewers the server area, which he predicts tech enthusiasts will love. The guest cabins on this level are spacious, with large showers and ample storage space.

The bridge is described as futuristic, here the yacht’s propulsion system is controlled by joystick and powered by four generators that feed electricity to Azipods. A highlight here is the retractable helm console which is very impressive.

The upper deck lounge features a bar area and cinema setup. The windows here in the upper deck lounge slide open to provide great ventilation along with a large doorway to the upper aft cockpit. 

The crew quarters onboard are spacious and well-equipped.  Superbly situated behind the bridge is the well-appointed captain's cabin.  Down the stairs is the galley with a dumbwaiter in the hallway leading further down to the crew mess, four crew cabins with bunkbeds and laundry facilities.

Throughout the tour, Nick emphasizes the yacht's quietness and lack of vibration, attributing these qualities to the generator placement in the bow, away from guest areas.

The engine space houses four MAN 350 kW generators. These provide the yacht with a top speed of 13 knots. At a cruising speed of 10 knots, a range of 4,700 nautical miles can be achieved.

Nick's tour of Bartali is filled with amazement and appreciation for the vessel's contemporary design, technological advancements, and luxurious amenities.
