Marcello Maggi, president of W-Fin Sarl, the holding company that owns Wider Yachts, has named Norberto Ferretti, co-founder of Ferretti Yachts, honorary president of Wider. The new board of directors is being led by Massimo Iacono, who was already part of the executive team.
“I am very happy that our paths cross again,” Maggi said in a statement. “Norberto’s know-how in product development is invaluable, and his authoritative presence confirms the relevance of the Wider brand, which I have firmly focused on, within the international yachting market.”
Ferretti co-founded Ferretti Yachts with his brother Alessandro in 1968. “What fascinates me most about Wider is its pioneering side,” he said. “Here, tomorrow is not considered an uncertainty but a starting point. The relaunch path taken in recent years is truly stimulating. I am ready to contribute to shaping the products and technologies of the shipyard’s future.”
Wider this year plans to launch the WiderCat 92 and the WiLder 60.
