Istion Yachting is proud to announce an exclusive commercial partnership with Wider, one of the most forward-thinking shipyards in luxury yachting. Under this agreement, Istion receives exclusive distribution rights for Wider and WiLder yachts across Greece, further strengthening the Italian builder’s footprint in the heart of the Eastern Mediterranean.

At the heart of this collaboration are two state-of-the-art catamarans, including the WiderCat 92 and WiderCat 76 designed by Luca Dini Design & Architecture and built by the renowned Italian shipyard. These hybrid-electric models combine cutting-edge design, eco-conscious technology, and exceptional comfort.

With hybrid propulsion systems, solar energy integration, and an emphasis on silent cruising, Wider catamarans set a new benchmark for sustainable yachting without compromising performance or luxury.

Joining them is the WiLder line, launched in 2023, representing a bold new chapter in the world of performance yachts.

“We are proud to bring the Wider and WiLder brands to Greece,” commented Ioannis Kourounis, CEO of Istion Yachting.
“Their innovative approach, focus on sustainability, and product quality align perfectly with our commitment to delivering outstanding yachting experiences to our clients. We are confident this partnership will be a great success.”

Marcello Maggi, Head of W-Fin, Sarl, the holding company that owns 100% of Wider, stated:
“Greece represents a key market for us, not only for its long-standing maritime tradition but also for its welcoming culture and lifestyle, which perfectly reflect Wider’s values. We are excited to partner with a solid and visionary company like Istion Yachting, which shares our dynamic and contemporary approach to luxury yachting.”

Thanks to Istion’s extensive regional presence and decades-long expertise, Wider and WiLder will now enjoy privileged access to one of the most vibrant and fast-growing markets in the Mediterranean.

With this exclusive partnership, Istion and Wider usher in a new era of sustainable luxury, offering clients in Greece and beyond a new class of innovative yachts that redefine the experience at sea.
