WIDER 165 SUPERYACHT - A BEHIND THE SCENES TOUR

- Last week I was invited to fit a promotional video of the amazing new WIDER 165. It was a very generous offer by the shipyard, since the period immediately following the launch of a yacht and it's appearance at a Boat Show is extremely busy.
In this video you can join me as I drive down to Ancona and explain the complexities of delivering a yacht, and then take a tour behind the scenes. And yes...on this video you DO get to see the technical spaces and crew quarters.
For more details about this yacht contact me at david.seal@northropandjohnson.com
Wider is the yatch I'm building my software business for! I will own a 165. Leaving this post here for future record!
Great to see those areas. Specially on such a special yacht. Always wondered what exactly the generator room looks like on a wider 😬
I love the BTS video especially of Wider
I wish every broker had the same knowledge, enthusiasm and passion regarding the products they brokered! I guarantee everyone that if you never had to work another day in your life, you’d still be a yacht broker! You’re definitely at the top of your game sir!
My friend you are AWESOME!! I honestly can say that I've learned so much watching your videos and have such an appreciation for what you do and the professionalism you do it with. Great job!!
Not even playing, I like seeing those engines. I geek out. I also do like seeing what kind of space the crew gets to inhabit.
Awesome Yacht! Very quiet.
Love your channel. Superb presenter. Kind of don't want any other yatch channel now. Almost like I don't want any other boat but a Wider.😄🤭
I do love this behind the scenes video
Really shows everything that normally gets left out. Kudos.
David, thank you for the video. It was really enjoyable to see the different aspects of the ship before the corporate video. Very much looking forward to the finished polished product. It’s so rare to see where the crew is the crew mess the laundry room things like that. To see more of these actually would be quite enjoyable. Look forward to more from you.
Awesome I really loved
Your rational for not always filming the engine room and crew quarters makes absolute sense. But I like seeing them because if I was ever in the market for a yatch I would absolutely want to see the crew quarters to make sure it was not some sardine like cabin that was to cramped. I would have to start from scratch because I would want the people waiting on me hand and foot and guests to live in very comfortable accommodations. . I would want a happy crew ( not spoiled ) but well taken care of to ensure my yatch, myself and guests were always taken care of to the best of their abilities. Now reality I’m not ever going to own a yatch in this lifetime. 😂😂😂 But dream are good and some dreams do come true.
I enjoy this type of video. It's always nice to see the engine/power room and especially the crew area. There are people that want to know that the crew have some space and aren't crammed into colorless rooms.
David, your personalized ending to Wider's Behind the Scenes tour was very comfortable. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative view from round the outside of the usual professionally completed customer marketing presentation.
This was and is a FANTASTIC video, wow.. just awesome.
The best Super Yacht channel BY FAR!!!!! Love your work that you and the time you spend making these videos exceptional...
fantastic peak inside this remarkable yacht ....but I've fallen Love with the 165 Mangusta.'Serenity'....
Excellent job...
Enjoyed even more then your standard videos. Tx for the good work.
This was a fantastic vlog, I enjoyed it very much. It will be interesting to see the “corporate” one after this one. Great job Dave
Hello from CALIFORNIA, thank you you filled my geek need. Great vlog.
David, I have thoroughly enjoyed all your videos over the years! And this one is one (somehow or another) I missed, until now. I continue to look forward to all your videos to come. Thank you for your knowledge your time and the effort that you put into all that you do.
Great video and ship
Great Video David, i hope to see the yacht at Monaco. Thanks for the candid video that is generally how I see the yacht, rather than the fancy pictures. Technical people generally have a habit of looking through that in any case. Love the engine room shots. More of that please.
Seeing a yacht, especially the highly anticipated 165, from the perspective of all the secret passageways of crew areas was awesome. We’re so accustomed to seeing only the main portions and conventional rooms/ hallways of a yacht, and being able to see the yacht in its fully entirety is fascinating. Thank you for doing this, especially with the 165, as many of us have been waiting quite some time for a video on the new Wider!
I enjoy this style of video. :)
I have seen a hundred vids of the guest areas. My technical bent wants to know the stuff which is never talked about. Does it have a water purifier? How much water can it make? How often do the membranes have to be replaced? How do they handle sewage? Is it treated, or just tanked and pumped ashore when docked? How good is the data connection? etc etc...
There is a well established industry that builds these systems for the smallest sail boat to the largest super yacht. There are many suppliers to chose from and a yacht like this can produce hundreds of gallons of water in one hour. Filters need regular replacement, depending on quality of sea water. Gray/black water is generally dumped outside the 12 mile zone although in the US you can already do that after 3 miles. Super yachts usually disinfect their black water, small yachts just dump it. But don't worry, the ocean is large enough. Not all small yachts are as scrupulous as the big ones so never ever swim in a marina! Internet once you are out of range of land based wifi is extremely expensive, $ 50.000 a month for about the same quality as on land is quite normal. And that is just the for the owner! The owner will rarely be on board while crossing the Atlantic so not really an issue for him. eSysman, mega yacht crew member is the best source of information (apart from David of course ;) on super yachts and I advise you to check him out.
That jacuzzi looks inviting!
Thanks so much for doing this type of video! Please, by all means do more. It's fascinating to see and learn about the "technical" and behind the scenes workings of these magnificent vessels. There are probably many people who - like myself - are as interested in this side of the picture as of the sheer beauty and awe of the overall vessel, its aesthetics, unique features and amenities. Subbed!
Been waiting for this.
Very interesting video, as usual. I have never been on a luxury yacht like this, and probably never will, but it amazes me how narrow those corridors are. I understand that the owner doesn't want to "waste" space on corridors and stains, even thosr that he/she is using, but i would argue that it increases comfort and the feeling of being somewhere special when you have space around you.
Great video.....
We want more!!! Thanks David.
Hi David, I'm arriving very late to the party here. But I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed this supplemental tour of the working spaces on what is definitely my dream yacht. I love your usual polished walkthrough productions, but personally couldn't get enough of this sort of supporting content as well. Many thanks for sharing.
Excellent raw video, much appreciated. Keep up the good content.
Really enjoyed seeing the part of the yacht that really makes up the heart of it. after all the crew and the technical parts are what makes the luxurious parts worth it.
awesome!
More Walkthourgh with that shaky still of camera, make me feel like i am there myself :D
love it
David, that was a great walkthrough and behind the scenes look of a beautiful superyacht! Always like a look at the inner workings of a yacht of this size. Thank you so much for this informative video.
BTW. David, kudos on producing an excellent video
Great video ! ...
Would love to see more produced like this with the below the decks ... a happy crew is a productive crew!
Would love to see more stuff like this. Great work! Thanks very much. All the best.
Love the videos, thank you. This is my favorite yacht.
Thank you David,,,,interesting to see a new yacht in this stage of prep,,,,,
All the best to you,,,,
Off the cuff is always better than produced. Nice video, #word.
I’ll buy this yacht if it could have:
A section of the helipad converts to a swimming pool when not in use.
A dedicated fully equipped gym
A proper Home theatre
Till then, I’ll keep using the bus...😎
Truthful review.....thanks mate!
Fascinating and a beautiful yacht .
Thank you... I like knowing the more technical aspects.
I love this yacht so so much, literally a piece of art!!
Very unique vessel!
david thank you! your videos are incredibly well done and you do it without the usual pomp i feel from other people who talk about yachts.
love this video
I have to say I love the very concept of this ship in that is uses generators to power electric motors for the ship's propulsion. Little to no vibration and no noise and holds a boat internally for a tender. all of this at either 150' or if you want bigger with a halapad 165'. Awesome Yacht!
You added an additional nuanced informality in this excellent video which serves you well. You were definitely approaching Mach One on that autostrade.
Love these kind of tours. Keep up the great work
At the moment, there are 24 people who clicked the "unlike" button. How can anyone not like this? What is wrong with these people?
Thanks for posting! I liked and subbed.
Love this perspective. I'm the type of person who opens every door cabinet and leaves no button u pressed, I would like to see every inch of this vessel.
I agree with your theory on your videos but a behind the scenes was awesome, definitely should do more of those!
I love it! I loved the Wider 150 but this one has more toy space I hope. I cannot wait for see the promo video when it comes out!
I really enjoy your videos. Your discussion in this video prior to showing the 'Wider' behind the scenes was quite interesting.
lovely yacht david i enjoyed your video. like to see more of this
It was a very good and well anticipated video I can't wait to see your final masterpiece presentation of it but yes it's also very important to see and ear about the engine room , range ,and crew areas specially on a new yacht with so many new features .i hope that you'll find new ways to be able to show these very important details and areas .
Ps keep up the good work love the videos
*Magnificent!*
I just LOVE Wider Yachts! I tell everyone about them!! I'm going to get one, one day soon :)
Wow, I love this kind of videos! To see the engine room and crew areas is rare unlucky, But you did it, and I love it : ) thank you so much
This style of vloging is the essence of what youtube is, so don't be shy to do these 'specials' every now and then! Keep 'em coming! I have recommended your chanel for over a dozen people in Monaco at the yacht show, there is no broker like you these days. What you might get wrong is the fact that we who can and used to buy luxury goods are weirdos. I have never met a high net worth individual who was completly sane... ;) According to my observation most of us are not fascinated by the decor but the specialty's... for example 9 times out of 10 even woman wants to take a look at the engine room on my yacht. kind of wooman who never seen her own car's engine... :D The other aspect to this is that we live in an age when a fanboy who is daydreaming today can become a billionaire (and one of your customers) the next year so a little yacht porn can't hurt.
So glad you did this. What a wonderful casual look behind the scenes. I really did love it and appreciate you doing all the work you do! I did subscribe!
When I win the Fl. Lotto, I will buy a beautiful Wider 165 from you.... T.Y. , Subbed and always a thumbs up!
I loved the corporarte videos on the Wider 150 , i cant wait for the full corporate video on the 165
Awesome video
HEY! THE ENGINE ROOM IS THE HEART!! OF THE BOAT! WHY WOULD'NT I WANT TO SEEE!! OR TO GO THERE!!? ONE CAN TELL MUCH REGARDING THE QUALITY ENGINEERING DETAILS OF A GOOD OR GREAT BOAT! THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS! ABOUT AN ENGINE ROOM THAT DETERMINES A BOAT'S EFFICIENCY & TOUGH READINESS ONE CAN EASILY TELL @ A GLANCE! BEING IN THERE!
Love it! Appreciate the behind the scenes helps to get a feel what it actually would be like on board for extended time
You make awesome videos!
Thanks for keeping it so real. Makes a big difference along with your kindness, warmth and professionalism. What a work of art this Yacht is...I love that its electric/ diesel generators. Whats the price? 32 Million?
What a magnificent boat! Surprised your camera crew used Canon's and not Red's or BlackMagic. None the less, the videos are great! OK, I'll take it. Wrap it up!
Thank you, that we interesting. I do know that should I choose to buy a yacht, I would concern myself with the comfort of the crew. Happy crew, happy boat. I know I would be paying them but the whole spectrum makes a difference.
Awesome video David.
It's good to see a different perspective and kudos to you for delivering that perspective.
but I really can't wait to see the production video on The Wider 165. I have see almost all your videos and let me tell you The Wider is definitely my dream yacht. Thank you for all the awesome video and knowledge.
On that note a little more technical information would be educational, but not too much please lol.
I absolutely love this boat. I want to have them design and build my first yacht
I have a favorite yachet now.
Love it! Thank you!
Very cool.
Really nice video !!! Thanx !
This is fabulous. Also, TAKE MY MONEY!
Hello David love you videos, the reason i like to see the crew quarters is very simple, in my eyes 2 reasons, one is that if the crew have good accommodation im sure it makes a difference to there time on the boat, and two for instance i will guess more boats of 30-40 metre are sold than 100 metre boats, i watched a video of a Asimut 55s, and it showed that there was a double bed for the captain so that could be two crew members ie his wife/g/f. etc etc could be a stewardess, chef. or visa versa, and then that leaves i would guess a twin room for deck hands, so please could you show the crew cabin. Keep up the good work.
You are quite right in your thinking Dave.
People buy on emotion and then logic things out later ... even technical people do it, although they won't admit it ... that's why good sales people talk very little and ask lot's of questions, so that they can match the features of the yachts to the benefits that the client is looking for ... called consultative selling.
Very few yacht purchasers will say they want a yacht because of a technology reason ... it will be about lifestyle, family, trophy purchase/ego, a place to entertain family and friends, business meetings/entertaining, likes the sea, travelling, environmentally friendly etc.
A great example I experienced was when I was looking at Lambo's. The salesman kept on talking about the specs of the car and opened the engine bay so I could look at the engine ... I was getting so bored.
I said "Can the car go from 0-60 kms/hour in under 3 seconds?", which is an outcome or experiential based reason, not a technical reason like V10 or V12 and what the piston sequence of the engine is ... Lambo's have the piston sequence stamped on top of the engine so you can see it ... nice little touch, but who cares.
He said "yes" and I said, "Good, I don't care how it manages to do that technically, I'm more interested in experiencing that acceleration and the sound that it makes while ripping its way from 0-60 kms/hr in less than 3 seconds". It's an emotional purchase.
I will logic out the finances later, but in my mind I have already made the decision to buy. And, by the way in the luxury/trophy purchase industries very seldom is there any financial logic. Sure there may be tax write offs etc, but with few exceptions they will decrease in value.
Emotion first, 'logic' second.
I for one enjoyed this video. I understand the need for professional videos for your clients and potential clients. However, it is nice to see, for lack of a better word and no offence to anyone, reality. The lady cleaning the galley, the various people gathered and talking. Presumably about what's next. Also the supplies on the port deck including flowers waiting to be staged. To me, all very cool. This is what it really looks like. What really happens. Not what the wealthy see. They see the result, not the process to get there. Very interesting. And on a diesel electric boat with Pods. Nice. I would love to see a sea trial video with real running specs and results. Thank you.
I liked the "Off the cuff" filming. It had a nice fast pace to it. I would have liked to see the most upper deck. I think there was one behind you in your last shot.
Great vid. The yacht looks very stable at anchor, virtually no movement. Are the stabilisation systems active ?
This was unbelievable! Would love to learn more how the tender fits into the back whilst having a pool? It there another video on that?
Generally I would tend to agree with you when you state your reasons for not showing engine and ancillary areas on your principle video presentations. This I believe differs considerably to prospective owners and general viewers alike, when a yacht manufacturer has gone to great lengths and without doubt considerable expense to develop and implement exceptional advanced key operational systems such as in the case of the Wider 165 with its hybrid propulsion and power generation system. I believe you are correct when stating the fact that potential customers of such yachts initially fall in love with lines and beauty, I also believe that the todays customer is much more in tune with advanced power generation systems critical to operation of not only their yacht but also in life generally. Such yachts with advanced and proven systems are likely to hold more interest a few years down the line, a factor the owner of this type of yacht will I am sure be very aware of. It is good that you have addressed all the above in your behind the scenes presentation although it would of also been interesting to have seen the battery systems behind those doors but understandably Wider yachts may have not wanted this area of their technology broadcast to the world. Another fabulous presentation from you, especially considering it was off the cuff, and very pleased you chose to reveal the operational and very interesting side of this yacht. I look forward to your future presentations.
Good one!You should film more stuff like this
Thank you David. It was nice to see the areas that are often overlooked.
What a Beautiful ship. I can see to what you were referring, when you stated that a person makes a purchase emotionally and then rationalizes that purchase.
May I ask, what price range would this ship fall into?
it will be around 35 million dollars
I would have thought more in the neighborhood of 65M USD.
Hi Mark, the asking price is €30,000,000
Yachts For Sale TY David
Eek. Waaaaay overshot the mark.
David, love the honesty on this video. Combine this to say a fully polished video (Illusion for example} borh equally enjoyable and informative.. splendid work.
Hi Paul, the polished video should be ready for publishing in the next week or so.
@Yachts For Sale. Your lovely voice and passion for beautiful, quality yatchs is VERY enjoyable to watch, rather than the usual creepy voices and style of most individuals that show yachts. You're a fine videographer, too!
@Yachts For Sale. It's a lovely video! I would also like to know about the water desalination capabilities. (There are generators that produce great amounts of electricity BY desalinating water, and I heard that the US Navy has switched it's ships to that method of power generation, meaning it can have an endless supply of purified water and endless transportation even if there were a major CME, resulting in worldwide lack of electricity to power fuel pumps, provided there are excellent mechanisms to protect onboard electronics in the event of a major CME (Coronal Mass Ejection). I Would also like to see the swimming pool area better, see inside all the crew quarters and bathrooms to know the crew will be happy as well as all the guests. I'd like to know how many state rooms there are, and see them and their in-suite bathrooms. Do all the showers have a place to sit inside? Are all the toilets combustion toilets? It would be great to have a yacht like that! Do you know of any with all that capability? You give a lovely show 'round. Quite enjoyable! Thank you!
This was a nice video of a great yacht. New video for those of us want to see if we might live as crew would we be happy so now we know some bits. Thank you sir. P.S. If for example if I bought the yacht "How hard is it to change it's flag?"
Absolutely love your approach and it has me coming back for more which is the aim, I'm sure. I am a technical guy as well so here is an idea....Do Both kinds of videos whenever possible. Your channel is the best by far. Keep up the great work and I will contact YOU when in the market!
Loved this video
Behind the scenes is a great concept! I hope you continue to do this for shoots in the future. I was wondering what the biggest difference between a 155 and a 165 is? As an owner, would you truly notice the additional 10 feet?
Just wondering how many owners let their crew have use all the yacht? It has been suggested or implied that it's because I am lonely? This video shows how little space your crew have to call home (if your staff work on 12 month contracts). I believe that the crew have a difficult job and it certainly isn't as glamours as perhaps people think and that looking after your staff can only make your ownership a far greater experience. Great video as always.
Very nice video, Daivid. This behind the scenes gave a clear impression about the dimension of the 165. How many crew members is necessary to run the yacht, not considering cleaning and cooking staff?
Ok. I’ve gota get a new yacht poster for my bedroom!
