Wider Yachts 135 Rivals

Which yacht is best for you? As always, it’s all about personal choice. Some people choose their yacht based on its power credentials and the semi-displacement hull of the WIder 135 delivers speeds of up to 16 knots.

Accommodation

If your priority is guest accommodation then the Wider Yachts WIder 135 offers well-appointed accommodation for up to 10 guests with its 5 cabin layout option. The WIder 135 benefits from a master cabin with a his and hers en-suite bathroom, full-standing headroom and an owners balcony is a standout and all cabins have dedicated en-suite bathrooms for family or guest convenience. The Mangusta 43 and Sunseeker 131, although designed for slightly smaller groups of 12 guests in 5 cabins, still offer an exceptional level of comfort for family or group getaways.

Performance

When it comes to cruising speed, the Wider Yachts WIder 135 has been designed for those not in a hurry, with the slowest cruising speed of the group at 12 knots and a top speed of 16 knots.
